Homemade Chocolate Syrup

So last week I shared with you my favorite Chocolate Butterfinger Cake that was made extra special because I made my own chocolate syrup.  There have been many times when having some frozen yogurt or chocolate chip pancakes or making a milkshake where I have thought to myself, “I wish I had some chocolate syrup […]

Chocolate Butterfinger Cake

I put one bite of this cake in my mouth and I was instantly transported to somewhere amazing.  It’s other worldly I tell you! The cake is so moist and the sweetness from the chocolate and caramel and the creaminess of the whipped topping is just heavenly.  I amped it up another notch and made […]

Southern Style Potato Salad

Nothing quite says summer like a cookout with burgers, potato salad and baked beans, and of course watermelon for dessert.  I know there’s this stigma about potato salad with mayo, but I promise this isn’t your basic run of the mill potato salad.  It has great flavor and is very fresh tasting! I love me […]

Homemade Marshmallow Fluff

Marshmallow Fluff is heavenly isn’t it!? When I was little my mom would make me peanut butter and fluff sandwiches for a special treat and I loved them so.  After I made the homemade graham crackers I got to thinking about s’mores and how it would be fun to just use marshmallow fluff instead of […]

Homemade Graham Crackers

So it’s graham cracker/s’mores week here are Macaroni and Cheesecake! I probably mention this too often, but I just love s’mores. That and red velvet are my two favorite flavors of desserts whether it be cookies, ice cream, cake, etc.  But of course I love s’mores in their pure form too and that made me […]

Strawberry Cheesecake Sandwich Cookies (Guest Post)

When Carrie of Bakeaholic Mama asked me to guest post on her blog with a strawberry treat, I knew I wanted to incorporate cheesecake in some way because Adam is CRAZY for cheesecake.  We even had cheesecake as the groom’s cake at our wedding.  These cookies are a fun spin on traditional cheesecake and perfect […]

Easy Southern Style Baked Beans

I adore baked beans.  If there’s barbecue or burgers, I want baked beans on the side.  I realized I’ve never made baked beans aside from opening a can of Bush’s!;) So I found this recipe and it’s semi-homemade as it does start with Pork & Beans, but you could easily soak your beans overnight and […]

Actually Delicious Turkey Burgers

So it’s May and we all know what that means! The start of grilling and burger season!! We’ve already broken in our new grill very nicely.  In fact, we grilled last night and accidentally locked ourselves out of the house with the oven on! Yikes! We were sitting out back listening to music and grilling […]
