Chocolate Dessert Nachos

Emilie — Mon, 21 May 2012 04:44:08 +0000

I am not sure why but it seems as if any time I am challenged with creating something new in terms of recipes, I’m always drawn to two categories: desserts and brunch/breakfast. It isn’t because I don’t love savory dishes, I just seem to enjoy creating sweet ones so much more! Mission Foods sent some [...]

Simple Orange Rolls – Perfect for Easter Brunch

Emilie — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 16:53:43 +0000

This Easter I had this strong desire to make homemade sweet rolls. I found a great orange rolls recipe and bought some yeast so I would be all set to make them entirely from scratch. And then reality set in. I am a mom to a 3 week old infant. I haven’t been blogging food [...]

Dress Up Your Treats for Valentine’s Day + White Lily Giveaway

Emilie — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 14:32:42 +0000

One sure way to see the changes in the season and holidays is the differences we see in the ingredients we use to bake. For example, with fall you may use a lot of apples, cinnamon and pumpkin which is why that is my favorite time of year to bake. The same is true with [...]

Cinnamon Raisin Nut Pull-Apart Bread

This past weekend I’ll admit I needed to desperately go grocery shopping. We were out of many basics including milk which made preparing something extra yummy for a weekend breakfast tougher. But sometimes I surprise myself by digging deep within my refrigerator and kitchen cabinets to come up with something scrumptious for breakfast. I happened [...]

I love recipes that make me feel like I can get away with eating something sweet first thing in the morning. These banana bread cookies do the trick! Combining my own love for banana bread and the addition of chocolate chunks, these cookies are soft and cake like, much like the bread. They are perfect [...]

Inevitably with the new year comes the desire for many of us to lead healthier lives. Whether that includes actually going on a diet or simply eating healthier foods, many of us are looking for ways to cut back. And with cutting back, dessert can take a back seat. It really doesn’t have to. It [...]

Delicious Cranberry Orange Almond Biscotti

I didn’t do as much baking for the holidays as I would have liked. Being almost in my third trimester of my pregnancy certainly held me back but thankfully my mom shared a lot of her goodies so we definitely didn’t go without. I did make my husband’s favorite, my soft raisin cookies and I [...]

Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

Last month my mother introduced me to these amazing cupcakes. I decided to take the look a step further and after she baked the cupcakes, I tinted the icing with orange Wilton gel coloring to really make the cream cheese frosting stand out. They were the hit of our get together and would be a [...]

This past weekend we had a Halloween party a little early with my extended family. My mother and I planned something fun for my kids, their cousins and some neighborhood friends. Everyone had a blast! I decided to bring my addictive vanilla caramel corn and these worms in a coffin brownies. Aren’t they fun? They [...]
