I finally tried Deborah’s Red Velvet Cheese Ball recipe over on Taste and Tell. If you love red velvet cake you have to taste this. It’s all the goodness of the red velvet and cream cheese icing rolled into a big ball and covered in chocolate chips. I served mine with vanilla wafers and chocolate graham crackers. Yum [...]
I get excited for Christmas when September arrives, so I’ve been craving a Christmassy dessert lately. Peanut Butter Balls are my holiday go to, but my recipe makes a zillion and calls for an entire pound of butter (no wonder I start every new year with muffin top). After a little experimenting I’ve found the [...]
Summer is definitely not my favorite season, but all the sweet, ripe fruit available this time of year helps make up for it. I can’t decide which I enjoyed more—photographing these gleaming berries or gobbling up my first piece of delicious triple berry crisp. This recipe is a keeper. I’m going to munch on this all [...]
I came across this recipe on Pinterest recently, and since lately I’ve been a dessert making fiend I had to try it. These bars are so good that they rival the s’mores bars I posted last month! When I was photographing them I said to myself, “How about a photo with a bite taken out [...]
I found this recipe for White Chocolate Lemon Truffles a few months ago, and I was waiting for a special occasion to try them. Today I decided that a Thursday afternoon was occasion enough. I mostly wanted to make them because they’re so stinking pretty, but it turns out they’re delicious too. Lately I’ve been on [...]
Today I tried rhubarb for the first time, and I was pleasantly surprised. I love it! This rhubarb pie has the perfect balance of sweet and tart. If you’re one of those make-your-own-piecrust overachievers you could win a contest with this recipe. It’s so simple to make too! 4 cups chopped rhubarb (if using frozen [...]
If you need a simple dessert made from ingredients you already have on hand, look no further! These are scrumptious. Next time I make them I’m going to experiment with different jams for the filling. 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar 1 cup all-purpose flour 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1/8 teaspoon salt 1 cup rolled [...]
When browsing for new recipes to try I’m usually drawn to the simple ones with fewer ingredients. This frozen yogurt recipe only calls for yogurt, blackberries, and sweetened condensed milk. The flavor is amazing, and it’s the perfect summer dessert (or lunch… ehem). 3 cups fresh blackberries 3 cups yogurt cheese (or greek yogurt) 1 [...]
If you’re looking for a healthy holiday treat, look elsewhere! Peanut butter balls (aka buckeyes) are easily my favorite Christmastime dessert. My Mom and I get together to make them around the holidays, and it’s a good thing we only make them once a year. If I had access to these goodies year-round I would [...]
These are delicious & creepy. The perfect Halloween dessert! Make them if you dare: 1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter 1/2 cup butter, softened 2 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar, sifted 1 tablespoon vanilla extract red food coloring (optional) 12 ounces white chocolate, chopped 2 tablespoons shortening blue food coloring 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips red [...]
