In all honesty, I never saw my mom make this…I have never had this…but OMG, this is right up my alley, and likely was made for my dad (who was a big peanut butter fan). I just can’t imagine this not working — it has brownies (you don’t have to even do them from scratch, …
I remember HATING these cookies as a child…why? Well, as an adult, I can’t really recall, because I made them and ate them; and they were AMAZING! The carrots added some wonderful depth to the sweetness of the cookies, and the orange icing adds a tartness that really makes this cookie a worthy addition to …
This is THE recipe, well, one version of THE recipe — THE CUSTARD RECIPE! See, when I was growing up custard was one of those amazing treats that I couldn’t get enough of…early on mom made mostly “baked custard” (which I make and post for all you lovely people soon, I promise, but we are …
Guys, I found this amazing cake…and made it…and it was so good I’ve got to share: Chocoflan ¼ cup cajeta — if you don’t have this just make a soft caramel (or melt down some caramels from the store) Cake: 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour 6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon …
I don’t ever remember my mom making this one, but I do remember the “pick your own” farm down the road. They had asparagus (which we picked A LOT of) and later blueberries — which was not as much fun as it sounded because they had only recently planted those bushes and they were like …

My sister is the source of this cake, but mom loved it as well. It is one of those cakes that you dream about after you’ve made it. It is gone too soon, and you always envy the person who got the last slice. If you decide to carve the cake into a shape (you …
My dad loved peanut butter. It was his favorite ice cream, cookie, pie, and bar…my mother knew this, so we often had peanut butter things laying around specifically to make him happy. This recipe was one of my favorites. It must have been my dad’s too, because every time I went home there were a …
So, Life Love and Sugar makes this amazing Bailey Irish Cream Poke Cake…it is all about chocolate and alcohol, which I cannot argue with generally. It is basically a chocolate cake (with Bailey’s in it). Topped with a fudge (with Bailey’s in it) that melts into the holes poked in the cake. Iced with a …
If you live in DC and you love cookies, you’ve heard of the Teaism’s Salty Oat Cookie. This national treasure comes in two flavors: plain and chocolate. It is divine, and lots of people have tried to figure out the recipe (it’s a SECRET) but it never really turns out just right — it isn’t …
