Triple Berry Pie

Hello. Let me re-introduce myself. It’s been a while, I know. But I’m back and have so missing writing, shooting photos and sharing wonderful recipes with you. Sometimes we need a break. Since my mother’s passing last November, life has handed me a series of challenges including losing my mother-in-law this past spring as well. Additionally […]

Chocolate Bourbon Tart with Pretzel Crust

Okay Kids. This is it! Round Three of the Saucy Mama Mustard’s “SLICED” contest…dessert using MUSTARD! Yes, that’s right. Dessert using mustard.  I never thought I would make it this far in the contest but from the beginning, I had the end in mind and it’s this dessert. I made it through the first two rounds […]

Blueberry Pie

Summer was slipping through our fingers this weekend and I realized that I had not made one pie! What the heck have I been doing? With the rainy weekend cancelling our cookout plans, we opted for a dinner out with good friends with dessert afterwards at our house. I had no problem deciding what to […]

Lemon Frozen Yogurt

I have a little secret to share with you… When I was a little girl, I used to sneak into my Mom’s freezer and open a can of frozen lemonade and eat it right from the can! Mmmmm…it was tart and sweet and full of citrusy flavor! I kept a little can way back in […]

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Who doesn’t like chocolate chip cookies? I long for the days when I would eat them as fast as I can scoop the gooey morsels off the hot pan. One…then two…three… and beyond that, I would never admit to how many. I stopped making them years ago because of my inability to stop reasonably. It’s […]

Lemon Bars

This weekend, we had friends over for a night of food, laughter and dessert! I already had Cherry Coke Cupcakes for a fun summertime dessert but needed something non-chocolate. I asked Hubby what to make with them? He shouted out “Lemon Bars! I love Lemon Bars!” How can I argue with that? Lemon Bars it is. But […]

Rosemary Olive Oil Cake

I like trying new recipes. I like trying recipes with a twist of flavor. I like trying recipes that seem a bit odd. I have to make them for myself to see what I missing. This is one of those recipes. We were having friends over for dessert last night and my original thought was […]

Lemon Ricotta Cheesecake

My dear friend, Shari invited us to her house for dinner and I offered to make dessert. All week, I wanted to bring a special dessert and wanted to bring one that was so “Shari”… Luscious and sweet with a hint of rum! I found all that in this recipe. I’m not a big fan […]

My Funny Valentines

This post is not about fancy recipes and exotic cooking… There’s plenty out there in the last few days from other bloggers on the perfect meal and dessert for Valentine’s Day. This post is about a perfect Valentine. We had the joy of watching our 4 year old twins this weekend and I had the […]

Texas Sheet Cake

What has a pound of butter… a pound of sugar… decadent chocolate… and pecans? Texas Sheet Cake! This recipe is not for the faint of heart…nor the faint of spirit. You won’t be able to resist once you see the goey-ness and smell the chocolate. One bite leads to one piece of cake which leads […]
