I’m kind of on a roll with key lime lately. I really LOVE the flavor of key lime. I’ve made a key lime cupcake, a key lime cake, key lime cheesecake pops, and now a I’m sharing my key lime martini! My girlfriends and I have been known to make […]
I was looking through my Mom’s recipe book yesterday. There are recipes in there that I’m pretty sure she never made. Perhaps she was a bit of a “recipe hoarder” – but then so am I! Recipes are such a part of someone’s “story”! We food lovers tend to collect […]
I was wondering if I could turn my Mom’s sugar cookies into “funfetti” sugar cookies. And guess what? I did it!! I used 1/4 cup of the sprinkles commonly used on an ice cream sundae – they are slightly “longer” sprinkles, rather than the small round non-pariel type sprinkles. These […]
I am dining on my own tonight, so thought I would make myself a pizza! My Mom’s pizza dough is super simple, and I have everything I need to make it. I have to go pick up my dog from daycare, so that will give me about an hour for […]
I’m not a big fan of “cake pops”. Just not into smashed up cake and frosting on a stick – although my grand babies love them! But take that idea, and make it out of cheesecake?? I’m all over that! I’ve posted a key lime cake, and key lime cupcakes. […]
These cupcakes are “grand baby-inspired” for sure! Vanilla cake, with vanilla butter cream cheese frosting. Then topped with bright, colorful, whimsical sprinkles! I put together a variety of shapes, sizes, and a bright color combination with the help of my faithful assistant Natalie. I made little unicorn horns, with white […]
I’ve made these fresh banana cupcakes in the past – in a post I called “banana split cupcakes”. That banana cake recipe is one of my favorites! It’s full of fresh banana flavor, and has a hint of cinnamon as well. So what better way to top them, than with […]
I’ve been thinking about this cake for a while now. I love chocolate, and I love strawberries. I also love a chocolate covered strawberry! So this cake makes perfect, delicious, sense! I started with my favorite Hershey’s “Perfectly Chocolate chocolate cake” recipe. I made 1 1/2 recipes, to make 3 […]
Every time I have a peach mango cosmo, I think of this pizza salad from Charley’s in the New London, Conn. Crystal Mall. It closed a few years back (sadly), but it remains embedded among my favorite memories from home! Even after I moved away, I would return once a […]
In my eternal quest to come up with new and amazing cupcakes, I came up with this little gem! Pastel swirl cupcakes. My grand babies will love these for sure! I started with my favorite Golden Vanilla Cake mix from King Arthur Flour. This is the only vanilla cake I […]
My favorite pizza topping combination is meatball and mushroom. I’ll ask for this even if it’s not on the menu! And when I make pizza at home – with my Mom’s pizza dough recipe – these are my go-to toppings. I like my own homemade meatballs for sure – but […]
I recently spent a week at “home” in Connecticut with my 2 sisters and brother. We try to get together once a year – as 2 of us now live out of state. It’s just like old times, however, and we find so many things to laugh about – as […]
My Mom’s sugar cookie recipe gets yet another remake, in these adorable and whimsical cookies. Of course I had my 3 grand babies in mind – as they too are both colorful, and sweet! I’ll say it again – there is no better sugar cookie recipe on the planet! Well, […]
If you’re a fan of “Turtles” like I am, then you will love these cupcakes. “Turtle” is the original candy name for chocolate covered caramel and pecans. I wanted to mimic the flavors, but add my own design twist. I started with my chocolate cupcake. I have copied the recipe […]
