I’ve been working with Weight Watchers on testing some of their newest dessert recipes which utilize some of their pre-packaged Weight Watchers sweet baked goods. Since I’ve been running and losing weight but still have a massive sweet tooth, having desserts that don’t tip the scale in the wrong direction is an important focus of [...]
The Ice Cream Social {Recipe: Old Fashioned Banana Pudding Ice Cream}
First of all today, I’m going to tell you that this is probably the most amazing homemade ice cream I have ever tasted. Ever. In my life. It was so good that I had to have neighbor kids over to eat it so that it would be out of my house. It was too dangerous [...]
Savory Sweet Life Cookbook Giveaway {Recipe: 4 Ingredient Oreo Ice Cream}
I’ve been sitting on this cookbook for a couple months now. Not because I don’t like it. Quite the contrary. The Savory Sweet Life Cookbook is a gorgeous book, full of wonderful stories accompanied by family friendly, unique recipes. I’ve sat on the cookbook because I know how difficult it is to write and stay [...]
Homemade Root Beer Flavored Sno Cone Syrup Recipe
It’s about this time each year that I start to get that uneasy feeling about summer being close to over. We have one month left before my kids go back to school, and I know and don’t like how fast that last month of summer speeds by. We’re doing an ok job getting through our [...]
Desserts in Jars Cookbook Giveaway {Recipe: Tres Leches Cakes} – CLOSED
This giveaway is now closed. Congrats to Lindsey from Growing Kids Ministry for winning! I used to stand by the glass counter, staring longingly into the dessert case, hoping my parents would budge and buy me one of the little “parfait buckets”. Banana Cream pie, strawberry shortcake, triple chocolate brownie… all made even more appealing [...]
Indivisible {Recipe: Pink Lemonade Dessert Bars}
I have no red, white and blue masterpiece for you today. No berry topped dessert or patriotic themed beverage has been made. You’ll have to go elsewhere for gorgeous flag cakes, star spangled drinks and patriotic Popsicles. Oh, we’ll be celebrating, don’t worry about that. There will be time for reflection on the true meaning [...]
Great Expectations {Recipe: Root Beer Float Cupcakes with Swiss Meringue Buttercream}
The other day I received a big package of goodies from my friends at Zatarain’s. At the very top of the box was a bottle of their Root Beer Extract, including a recipe for making homemade root beer. The box couldn’t have come at a better time as I was in the middle of making [...]

Failure Rebound {Recipe: Peanut Butter Bundt Cake with Jelly Glaze}
Food blogging isn’t always pretty…not everything I make comes out in the nice little package I envision when starting a new recipe. Take this Peanut Butter Bundt Cake with Jelly Glaze. I make bundt cakes all the time and think they are one of the most beautiful cakes around. I don’t always blog the cakes [...]
Time to Brag {Recipe: Mom’s Best Angel Food Cake}
I know that bragging isn’t always flattering, but I’m throwing all of that out the window today and am going to spend this post bragging about my husband. I married a really good guy and am very lucky. Sure there are times we don’t get along and when I can’t wait for him to leave [...]
