If you need a dessert for Thanksgiving and someone else already has dibs on pumpkin pie, give this a try! It’ll look beautiful on the family table…for about 30 seconds until everyone devours it. You guys know I have a serious weakness for peanut butter and chocolate. We had our friends, Andy and Jacquie, over […]
Grilled peaches. Seems weird, I know. I started this last year because I had some peaches to use up and we had the grill out. I remembered an old episode of Rachael Ray where she grilled stone fruit for dessert on her indoor grill, so I thought, “What the heck? Throw a little brown sugar […]
Since it’s been like a million degrees lately, I’m sure you really don’t want to turn on your oven. Never fear, we can get our peanut butter fix without heating up the house. These little peanut butter squares taste an awful lot like Reese’s and are quite addictive (consider yourself forewarned). They’re really easy too, […]
Not that long ago, I had a conundrum. I had some cupcakes leftover from an order. They were vanilla cupcakes that tasted delicious but didn’t look so great because the cake was so moist the papers were coming off. And plain vanilla cupcakes are something that are really easy for me to pass up…you know, […]
Hi, my name is Cara, and I am addicted to peanut butter. I’m not ashamed of it. I own it. If you leave it to me, all baked goods will have peanut butter in them. And chocolate. And sometimes banana. So anyway, cookies. These are a really delicious balance of sweet and salty, with the […]
I have been baking a lot lately. A lot, you guys. I made these and another batch of cupcakes for work one week, and people started hiring me to bake stuff. Like, I made 600 mini cupcakes last week. You read that right – 600 (thanks, Kristy and Tim for your help!). And a couple […]
These muffins are amazing. In fact, they are so delicious, I think you could almost call them cupcakes. I know muffins are for breakfast, but I have no shame in admitting I’ve eaten them for dessert. The bananas and chocolate go so well together and the cinnamon and nutmeg add a bit of warmth. My […]
When I’m looking for a healthy recipe, one of the first places I usually look is at Ellie Krieger’s recipes. I needed to make some muffins last week, and of course, I wanted them to be healthy. I found this recipe and gave it a try. The muffins turned out very delicious and the apple […]
Remember when I made the low fat brownie bites with strawberries for Valentine’s Day? I’ve actually made that brownie recipe many times – with peanut butter, with chocolate chips, with nuts… It’s my favorite go-to, easy, chocolate but not terrible for you sweet. For St. Patrick’s Day, I made them with mint icing, obviously because […]
Here I go again with the peanut butter and chocolate. Recently, a friend pinned this recipe with a subtle suggestion that I should make these cupcakes, and I was pretty easily convinced. They just looked so good, and you know how I am with peanut butter and chocolate. The only thing was I wanted there […]
