The day I figured out how to make sugar-free frosting I was elated. The problem I kept running into was that I couldn’t find a good sugar substitute for powdered sugar. Then, I learned how to make Italian Meringue Buttercream. IMBC uses granulated sugar, which opens the door to more…
For Day 10 of my 30 Day Challenge I’m being a bit selfish. You see, it’s my birthday tomorrow and I wanted to bake something good. I love cinnamon rolls. I really love the Pillsbury Grands cinnamon rolls, but have been without them for a couple years now. When I…
Hands down, brownies are my favorite dessert. It’s funny because when I was a kid I didn’t like chocolate. I even cried once when my hot fudge sundae turned out to have chocolate on top of my ice cream. Now that I have kids of my own, I find that…
I’m so excited by my bake for Day 6 of my 30 Day Challenge. In my college years, I used to bring home a box of frozen cream puffs from BJ’s (you know, the jumbo box) then I’d eat 1 or 2 each day. I didn’t even wait for them…
I am on Day 5 of my 30 Day Challenge. It is Apple Pie day! No, it isn’t March 14 (3/14, get it?), just a good day for pie! Seems fitting to make the most American food on the day of the Super Bowl – the largest American sporting event….
For Day 4 of my 30 Day Challenge, we’re making gluten free cornbread. On Day 2 I made these amazing Blueberry Muffins. While they were baking, my daughter tells me they smell so good and she wanted one. When they came out of the oven (and cooled of course), she…
Easy peasy. I used to hate that phrase. Up until my daughter started saying it. Then it transformed from overdone to cute. Today’s recipe from Simply Quinoa promises to be just that. Easy Peasy. I like to make Friday nights a family night, though we are not entirely consistent! Some…
Blueberries are one of my favorite fruits. I eat them almost nightly in my bowl of cornflakes. It’s actually kind of pathetic how predictable I am! The kids go to bed, I pull out my cornflakes and Blueberries. 😊 It’s no surprise that these muffins are chock full of blueberries….
Snickerdoodles were my Father-in-Law’s all-time favorite cookie! Every Christmas I would make him a batch of Snickerdoodles and he would have them all eaten before we left at the end of the week. He passed away a couple years ago. The first year without him, I couldn’t bring myself to make…
