German Chocolate Upside Down Cake
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 […]
Guava Cheese Turnovers (Guava Pastelillos)
I love to try new (to me) ingredients. I was watching food network the other day and Daisy Martinez made these turnovers using Guava Paste. I had never heard of this interesting ingredient and immediately sparked my interest so I went to my local grocery store and sure enough they had it. The flavor of […]
Cake Batter Ice Cream
My parents had us over for the 4th of July and I brought this Cake Batter Ice Cream. I wanted something cold, tasty and easy to make. This recipe hit the spot. It was extremely creamy, smooth and silky with a wonderful rich cake flavor. I got a big thumbs up from all that tried […]
Lemon Buttermilk Pudding Cake
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 […]

Pound Cake with Lemon Curd
*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 […]

Baked Custard
As I have mentioned before we’ve been picking quite a few eggs lately. Say 25-30 a week. So I’ve been trying to find as many egg recipes as I can (if you have one, please share) Luckily for me a while ago Lynn posted this yummy baked custard recipe on her blog. We tried it […]
Cherry Mini Cakes
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 […]
Grapefruit Zabaglione over Mixed Berries
This weeks Food Network Chef’s Challenge hosted by I Blame My Mother is Giada De Laurentiis. Giada has a fabulous Italian cooking show with healthy quick meals and lots of pasta. Oh can I tell you how it pains me to not pick one of her pasta recipes (in case your wondering I’m on a […]
