Birthday Cake Pancakes

September 6, 2011

For DT’s birthday I decided to make him birthday cake pancakes. I saw this genius idea in Rachael Ray’s August Magazine. You simply make any box cake mix or homemade cake mix, mix the eggs, water and oil, make your pancakes with the batter, choose the icing of your choice, mix in a little milk [...]

Tres Leche Cake

August 16, 2011

I made this cake for my mom’s birthday. She loves Tres Leche (three milks) Cake. Loves it! So I was happy to oblige. This cake is heaven and hell all in one. First off, it requires a massive amount of dishes and not 1 or 2 but 3 different uses of the stand mixer. Three different cleans [...]

Almond Joy Cake

July 5, 2011

Almost a whole year ago I made this glorious cake for my Granny’s birthday, somehow, between all the shuffle it was forgotten. Until yesterday as I was looking through old pictures, the memories came back. This cake is ooey gooey, coconut-y, almond-y, joyous, oh just not enough adjectives to describe it. The cake starts off [...]

Zucchini Brownies II

May 25, 2011

This is surely turning into one of my favorites ways to make zucchini. My niece, one of the pickiest eaters I’ve ever known, ate about half the pan. Even after we told her they had zucchini in them, she loved them. Truth be known the zucchini melts into these brownies and you can’t taste it [...]

Zucchini Brownies I

May 24, 2011

I made this recipe last May, took pictures, saved them on my computer, and promptly forgot about them. Until I asked on facebook what are some of your favorite ways to cook zucchini and my friend Keri reminded me of this very recipe. A recipe that she shared with me last May that I quickly [...]

Zucchini Bread

May 17, 2011

This time of year when the zucchini over run our household I try to get creative with the things I can put Zukes in. This recipe is one of my favorites to double and bake in a variety of different pans and freeze. It’s perfect for a midday snack or dare I say it, even [...]

Banana Nut Cake

May 10, 2011

I’ll never forget that afternoon in my early teens. Mom made this cake and it was still baking in the oven when she left the house with strict instructions for Dad to reset the timer for another 30 minutes when the timer went off and after that take it out of the oven. So Dad was outside working [...]

Lemon Brownies

April 26, 2011

I ran across this recipe from Red Couch Recipes and knew this would be perfect to make for Easter. They are lemony, sweet and very moist little brownies. Very simple to make indeed and everyone loved them. I was hoping to make them into brownie bites like Jani did in her post, but time was [...]

Peanut Butter Sheet Cake

March 1, 2011

Sometimes I run across a recipe that I’d love to make, but the time and circumstances never seem to arise, so I mentally file the recipe away until the perfect occasion comes up that I can make it. Like this sheet cake, I wanted to make it the instant I saw the recipe on Lynn’s [...]

Fudge Brownies (Sugar and Gluten Free)

January 25, 2011

Just because I am on a sugar and gluten free diet, doesn’t mean I can’t have brownies!! A girl’s gotta live you know. So let me give you the heads up on these brownies. It’s hard to believe, it may gross you out a bit, but they contain black beans! There I said it, nothing [...]

Howdy, y’all! Welcome to my blog world. I am Sweet Pea, a 20-something Texas native and a newlywed…well, almost. We wed May 2006. Shortly after we were blessed with identical twins boys born November 2007.

My husband, whom I lovingly call Double Trouble (DT), owns and operates a trucking company, and we use our CB handles as our names here.

I however recently converted from a working mom to a stay-at-home mom. I love the new challenges that it brings and enjoy sharing my triumphs, messes, and adventures with you. I hope you enjoy reading about our busy lives with babies, cooking, gardening, trucking, and bargain shopping.
