Mini Cupcakes & the Solar System
Happy Friday! A few weeks ago my friend Meghan came over and made gluten-free chocolate mini cupcakes with peanut butter frosting. First, let me just say that I think Meghan is the frosting whisperer. I want her to start a…
Brownie Bites
Bite sized brownies covered in ganache. What’s not to like about this recipe?! These were easy to make because I took the easy way out: I used a box brownie mix. The brownie bites can be decorated any way you’d…

Caramel Corn Cookies
These cookies don’t directly involves caramel corn… but have flavors to match! I was sold when I saw the words “butterscotch chips”. :) Caramel Corn Cookies 1/2 cup shortening 1/4 cup butter, softened 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1/2 cup packed…
Worms in the Dirt Cupcakes
Ahh, springtime. Flowers, rain, green-er grass, and worms! I may be in the minority on this, but I always like seeing the worms come out of the ground after a big rainstorm. If you aren’t a fan of real worms,…
Snickerdoodle Blondies
This week will be all sorts of crazy for me. Graduate school is wrapping up, which means final papers, presentations, thesis defense, and many other “fun” tasks. I don’t have much to say about this recipe except that it was…
