As fall or autumn approaches, I have apples on my brain. Probably because of school and apple season. As I mentioned before, it is the beginning of my baking season. These apple cider donut muffins looked good and then I saw they were filled with salted caramel! They look even better. Although, I might not fill all of the muffins … Read More ...
Amaretti Apple Tart
An Amaretti cookie is an Italian Almond Cookie. If you aren’t able to locate it in the cookie aisle, then try the ethnic aisle of your store. For me a tart is a fancy pie that you serve to impress people. I’ll keep this handy if that day ever comes. Since I’m a lazy cook, my friends and family are … Read More ...
6 – Layer Mexican Pinwheels
This could also be vegan if you used vegan cheese. This will be a great dish for a pot luck, tailgate, and after school snack. A different variety than the cold cuts that are usually used to make pinwheels. I’m sure you could add some meats of your choice, if you wanted.

Nutty Buddy Inspired Cupcakes
I love Nutty Buddy ice cream cones. My favorite part was the chocolate coating with the nuts. Am I the only one that took the nuts on the bottom of the bag and poured them onto the ice cream? I am so excited to make these cupcakes. I might actually sprinkle some sugar cone to the frosting before dipping.

The Best Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies
When I eat a cookie, I want it to be soft and chewy. The gluten-free cookies that I have tried are usually the opposite. Michaell at Foodscape is in agreement with me and has created a softer gluten-free chocolate chip cookie.

White Chocolate Cinnamon Roll Energy Bites
Some of these energy bites just don’t sound healthy, not that I’m complaining. Although, when you think about what you crave when you are hungry, the names seem just about right. I’m all about the easy snack or quick breakfast and love either a smoothie or energy bites. Of course I would much prefer a cinnamon roll, but I’m trying … Read More ...
Caramel Apple Pie Bars
As the saying goes, “An apple a day, keeps the Dr. away”. I’m pretty sure they don’t mean having the apples like this.

It is just a wonderful combination, especially when you use … Read More ...

For my sliders I usually just buy rolls to use, but I might just use this recipe before it is downsized to itty bitty buns. What a … Read More ...
Carrot Cake Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting
I love carrot cake, but I hate that so many people put raisins in them. Plus, it is usually like three layers of cake. Since I’m not a raisin, big dessert or cake person, it is too much for me. I think I have found my solution. Plus, it has less sugar, oil and no raisins!

Pizza Bite Pops
In the restaurant world, the meals seem to be getting bigger and more than than average person should eat. Luckily, in the real world, things are getting smaller. I don’t know if it’s because they look cuter for entertaining or just people are tired of the big size. I love these pizza bites and all Nikki Gladd did was put … Read More ...

Everyone seems to have a certain way to cut an avocado. I usually scoop it out or cut it in cubes or slices before scooping it out with a spoon. All depends on how I plan to use it. Of course the cutting and scooping happens after I take the seed out.

Frosted Oatmeal Zucchini Cookies
It seems every year someone has more zucchinis than they could possibly eat or freeze for later use. Why is that? If only I had that problem with my cucumbers and tomatoes every year. If you are tired of your zucchini breads, maybe these oatmeal cookies can be the perfect change.
