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 [...]

Pumpkin Blondies

October 5, 2010

I wanted to try this recipe since last year as I included it in my pumpkin round-up. I made it last week for our play group and so glad I did because I could have eaten the whole pan myself, they were moist, chewy and pumpkin-y. Just about everything you could look for in a [...]

German Chocolate Upside Down Cake

September 7, 2010

For DT’s birthday last week I wanted to shake things up a bit, make something familiar, but yet slightly different. I am crazy like that, ha ha. Any-who, I came across this recipe somewhere on the internet, and with DT’s 2nd favorite cake being German chocolate, I figured it would be perfect. In case you’re [...]

Lemon Buttermilk Pudding Cake

June 25, 2010

Lemon desserts are my favorite, so when I ran across this recipe on Brenda’s blog I knew I had to try it. This dessert is light and airy on top, and pudding smooth on bottom with the delicious tang of lemons and buttermilk. Can I get a mmmmm??? Also lately I love any recipe that [...]

Chocolate Butter Cake with the best frosting I’ve ever had

May 19, 2010

Today is the last Food Network Chef’s Challenge. I can’t believe we’ve cooked through all of the chef’s on food network, I’ve found some really great recipes and really great blogging friends through this process. Thanks Sarah from I Blame My Mother for hosting this fun challenge, I will miss it. During the whole challenge [...]

Pound Cake with Lemon Curd

March 2, 2010

*Be sure to stop by The Granola giveaway JK Gourmet.* My Aunt recently made my great grandmother’s pound cake and posted about it on facebook. I don’t recall ever eating her pound cake (though I am sure I did) as I was 5 or 6 when she passed away. But I just knew in her [...]

Cherry Mini Cakes

February 9, 2010

I love making and creating sweet little treats to share with loved ones on Valentines day. DT requested that I make a strawberry cake, or red velvet cupcakes or even a flour-less chocolate cake and ice cream (all of which I made last year, obsess much??) But see I’ve done all of those and while [...]

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.
