One of the first things I ever learned how to make as a child were hard boiled eggs. I was pretty obsessed with getting the perfect hard boiled egg; easy to peel, no pale green or undercooked yolks and no rubbery whites. Around Easter I was so proud to be able to make all of the eggs for our easter egg hunts. I took this
I’m a sucker for a good coffee cake and since I’ve been on a blueberry kick lately it was only a matter of time before I whipped up this French Vanilla Blueberry Streusel Coffee Cake. This french vanilla blueberry streusel coffee cake uses french vanilla yogurt to create a fluffy, lightly sweetened cake, with tart fresh blueberries, sweet brown sugar streusel topping and a french
I think I just found my new favorite sugar cookie recipe, cream cheese sugar cookies!!

This is one of my favorite banana puddings to take to potlucks because it tends to please everyone from the kids, adults, true southerners to Yorkers alike! Not to mention it’s so easy and quick to whip up a huge pan of this stuff. This is the recipe my grandmother uses a lot for family get-togethers. It’s just heavenly! The addition of the sour cream really adds
Our final assignment for the Youtube NextChefs was given to us by Top Chef Zac Young. He is so fabu!!! He gave a great message about being yourself and challenging yourself to think outside of the box! Loved it!! He challenged us to create a unique cookie that represented our personality. I was wondering how the heck was I gonna fit all of THIS into
I had a Sunday brunch date with my two favorite men and made this cinnamon roll coffee cake. Now if you’re worried that this coffee cake may be a a little to sweet with all that butter and sugar and stuff, no worries. This cinnamon roll coffee cake is fluffy, light and has just the right amount of sweetness. It went great with coffee and
It’s ridiculous how easy, quick, and delicious these oreo truffles are. I’ve made them twice this week already and now I’m fighting the urge to make a peppermint kind after seeing those yummy looking peppermint Oreos today. I’ve featured these Oreo truffles before as Halloween eyeballs, but I just had to show them again in a more elegant light. These rich, chocolaty little balls of
I use to call these lunchbox chocolate chip cookies when I was little because I can remember waking up to the smell of fresh baked homemade chocolate chip cookies which meant one thing, there would be five wrapped together in seran wrap in my lunchbox. Yeeeeeeah!!! It would only take my mother about 10 minutes to whip up this dough and as soon as the
Some desserts are just so sinfully delicious that you actually wanna slap shoot the person who came up with the recipe. This is one of those times. These caramel apple crisp cheesecake bars are sinfully delicious and addictive. Be warned: they have no mercy on your butt, hips, thighs and waist! Only make these thing if you are DEFINITELY going to share them. Or else
I’ve had a really productive Sunday. I usually get a lot done around the house when the weather is cold and windy like today. It puts me in the mood to clean and/or bake! So I’ve cleaned out my refrigerator, organized my spice drawer and prepped dinner for the entire week. I also managed to bake up this amazing apple pie bread. I’ve been drowning
Squash and zucchini is everywhere!! I’ve been taking full advantage by making recipes like this and this oh and this one too, to name a few. So I might as well add these sweet, moist vegetable muffins to the list. My toddler asked me to make these muffins for him last week. I don’t know why I just light up when he asks me to make him things. I love cooking

Banana Pudding Milkshake If you follow me on facebook then you know how obsessed I am with Chick-fil-a’s new banana pudding milkshake. Yall…like seriously…I was drinking one of those every single day! It was like a milkshake full of comfort. It didn’t matter how stressful my day had been I knew that all would be well once I got my banana pudding milkshake fix. Then
Who knew that letting melons chillax in a pool of triple sec, pineapple juice and raspberry vodka could make for such a refreshing summer treat. I love making these in the summer time when melons are super sweet. Using the melon baller is a lot quicker than slicing the fruit up in my opinion. I keep the fruit ball cut-out close together to avoid
