I am a dessert addict. It’s a rare evening when I don’t have some kind of dessert after dinner. I love the evenings where I get to enjoy something homemade as an after dinner treat.
Bread pudding is one of those desserts I always expected to just order at a restaurant. As I’m learning more and more about cooking and pushing myself to try new things, I’m realizing how many recipes I think are too difficult but I can totally handle- and you can, too! [Read more…]
This recipe is so fun, and so cute, it could be made for so many events. Brunch, baby showers, wedding showers, birthday parties, or so many other ideas!
They are so easy. I made these for Easter brunch, so I used pastel sprinkles. I found the dot sprinkles at Michael’s Craft store. I also grabbed some sucker sticks at Michaels, and some pink and white candy disks that melt.
I am in the camp that chocolate chip cookies should not have very many chocolate chips. I prefer to love on all the flavors. However, I realize I’m one of the few. So after much searching, I found a secret ingredient that makes them good enough for me and good enough for everyone else . . . liquid smoke.
As the name suggests, liquid smoke is a liquid that tastes like smoke—it replicates the flavor produced by smoke-curing without actually requiring you to smoke anything. When shopping for liquid smoke, be aware that some brands add seasonings, flavorings like molasses or vinegar, or colorants like caramel. Liquid smoke should just be smoke and water, and there are brands that are exactly that simple.
A springtime spin on a classic English dessert, this creamy, tangy Strawberry Lemonade Fool is perfect for any occasion!
I’ve never been a huge fan of April Fools’ Day.
People can be pretty awful to one another on April 1st, pranking and lying and joking, all for the sake of fun. But for people like me, it can get pretty bad.
I’m not naive, but I do tend to fall in to the “gullible” category from time to time, and my friends take advantage of that.
At least I’m no April Fool. It’s the one day of the year I can at least see it coming.
This dessert, however, is in fact an April Fool. A Strawberry Lemonade Fool, to be exact.
What’s a Fool, you ask? Read on! [Read more…]
