Cherry-Almond Vanilla Cupcakes
All I can think of when I see these cupcakes is the moment, during the process of making them, when I dropped an entire jar of maraschino cherries on the floor of my kitchen. Cherries… lost. Kitchen floor… forever sticky….
Blue Sky Cupcakes
Raise your hand if you’re a fan of Breaking Bad. Well O-M-G… the show is back on Sunday evening for season 5! Sadly, it will be the show’s last season and I’m already missing Jesse Pinkman… and Marie’s obsession with…
Potato Chip Cookies II
Potato chips rank somewhere in the top 3 of my favorite foods. My family used to own a potato chip factory, so I blame my unabashed love for them on that fact. I can still remember how the old chip…
Mini Cinnamon Rolls
Giant, ooey, gooey cinnamon rolls are on my baking Bucket List. I tried to make them once and it was a comical failure. I would love to have a go-to cinnamon roll recipe and be able to make them without…

Red & Blue Poke Cake
A friend of mine mentioned the concept of a Poke Cake to me many, many months ago. I was bewildered. She describe it as, “OK, you bake the cake, and then poke it, and then pour Jello over it, and…
Patriotic Punch
I live in the Midwest, so the 4th of July is usually hot, sweaty, and humid. This colorful punch is a great way to cool down! Since many 4th of July celebrations include kids, this recipe is alcohol-free. Ever wonder…
Sparkler Cupcakes
The 4th of July is almost here! It’s one of my favorite holidays because it involves summertime, explosives, patriotism, and a whole lot of a good food. These cupcakes were inspired by a Betty Crocker magazine that I picked up…
Father’s Day Golf Cake
Happy almost-Father’s Day! My Dad loves golf more than most things on this earth, so I decided to make him golf in cake form. My Dad (and his side of the family) is where I get my love of food…
