Dulce de Leche Bars

Since I usually enjoy a light herbal or fruit tea in the afternoon, I thought a decadent, buttery confection would be the perfect accompaniment.

Scrumptious Eggnog Bars

These bars are a personal favorite of mine because the eggnog flavor is intensified with nutmeg and rum.

The season of fall definitely comes with a variety of sweet treats. Besides everything pumpkin spice and an array of apple confections, let’s not forget the abundance of candy that comes with Halloween. As an adult, I have thoroughly enjoyed buying all my favorite candies to pass out to the kiddies on October 31st. IContinue reading “Chocolate Hangover Cake”

Pumpkin Spice Caramel Corn Pizzazz

I thought this additional boost of flavor would make the caramel corn even better and was I right. This recipe of caramel corn is honestly some of the best popcorn I’ve tasted.

To name a few of my favorites there’s National Hug Your Cat day, National Donut Day, Juneteenth, Black Music month and of course Pride month. I recently returned from vacation at the end ofContinue reading “Pride Mocha Donuts”

Carrot Cake Bread Pudding with Cream Cheese Whiskey Glaze

I’m not sure why but most of my dessert ideas come to me at night. Maybe its the fact that my wildest fantasies are food focused. (Greedy girl at heart). One eventful evening I had an idea about combining carrot cake and bread pudding. I woke up thinking “why have I never thought of thisContinue reading “Carrot Cake Bread Pudding with Cream Cheese Whiskey Glaze”

There are so many asterisks throughout history full of feminine energy and triumphs. Not only is it March a celebrationContinue reading “Pink Lemonade Velvet Cupcakes”

I’m so glad this holiday takes place during my favorite season. I thought that this was the best time to perfect my chocolate cupcake recipe and decorate withContinue reading “National Chocolate Cupcake Day!”

A to Z Cake (Apple Butter/ Zucchini) Cake

Once again it’s another fabulous day in Fall. For many, including myself, that means frolicking through someone’s orchard picking apples and stuffing one’s face full of cider and doughnuts. After a few weeks there comes a realization that I may have been a little over zealous during my apple picking. Then comes the panic ofContinue reading “A to Z Cake (Apple Butter/ Zucchini) Cake”

Candy Corn Cookies

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! To me this means its Fall and I can start consuming massive amounts of pumpkin items and filling my home with the smells of such. I love everything that comes with this season. That even includes the controversial confection candy corn. Some love to love it, whileContinue reading “Candy Corn Cookies”
