I’ve posted this recipe before, but I don’t think it gets the love it deserves. It’s a fabulous recipe and one that I often crave! But I think the reason it isn’t more popular is because it was meant for a jelly roll pan. Those are awesome pans, let me tell you — but they’re really only great if you often have need to cook for a bigger crowd AND if you actually have one. (That said, I only used to do desserts on my jelly roll pan, but lately, I’ve been roasting lots of meats and veggies on them (like fajitas!) and they work beautifully even for that!) Read More…

My husband loves the taste of cinnamon.  And why shouldn’t he?  It’s a great flavor!  I love it with apples – especially in apple crisp, or Chex Mix, dump cake, or cheesecake bars.  So any time I come across a dessert that contains cinnamon, it’s definitely worth a try. I was doubtful about it while Read more

It’s a cake!  It’s a brownie!  It’s actually both…so does that make it a cawnie?  Or maybe a broke?  Okay, neither of those are good names, so let’s just call this a Brownie Cake.  It couldn’t be any easier – it’s essentially the marriage between a cake mix and a brownie mix.  Add in some Read more

I once went on a road trip with Peter Pan.  It was really skippy, but it didn’t last very long – you might say it was over in a jif when our car got smuckered by an oncoming taxi cab. Nevertheless, some good times were plantered in my memory. As you may have guessed, I have Read more

Sometimes you wanna go where everybody knows your name.  And they’re always glad you came.  When that happens, you go to a bar named Cheers. Sometimes you feel like a nut.  Sometimes you don’t.  When that happens, you eat an Almond Joy or a Mounds candy bar. Sometimes, you can’t always get what you want Read more

This recipe is awesome and it couldn’t be any easier!  It’s very similar to the Cherry & Pineapple Dump Cake that I posted before – just with apple pie filling!  It has many of the same flavors as Apple Crisp, but it comes together very quickly.  It’ll take you more time to take the items Read more

Sometimes, you’re feeling just a little bit festive around the holiday times.  Holiday times, you may be wondering?  What holidays!?  Why St. Patrick’s Day, of course.  It’s a holiday worth celebrating.  And how exactly should we celebrate St. Patrick’s Day?  Why mint chocolate chip cookies, of course! Do they go well with milk?  You bet Read more

How did Monkey Bread get its name anyway? Was the inventor a woman named Sally Monkey? Is it because monkeys go gaga for the stuff? Is it because it was originally shaped to look like a monkey? I have no idea – I can make up a story about it, but that’s not really necessary Read more
