Upside-down Caramel Banana Coffee Cake
Posted on March 16, 2015
Dense and moist coffee-flavored cake topped with gooey caramelized bananas! Every year it’s the same challenge for my dad’s birthday: What special dessert can I make that isn’t too sweet and doesn’t include frosting (well, I did sneak in frosting one year)? Since last year’s dessert was such a hit, I decided to find another…
Keep It Sweet Desserts Weekly Wrap-up 3/14/15
Posted on March 14, 2015
There are some weeks that really feel like an eternity. Not in that, “oh man when will it be Friday?” way, but in that, “how was Monday only four days ago?” way. Sometimes big things happen (good and bad) that make one day feel like a big storm. This week, that’s what we got. Monday…
Monster Cookie Dough Ice Cream (No Churn!)
Posted on March 9, 2015
Vanilla ice cream loaded with monster cookie dough (peanut butter oatmeal cookie dough with M&Ms and chocolate chips!). You will enjoy cookie dough in every bite! I think the deep freeze is over (said crossing fingers and knocking on wood). And in case it’s not obvious, I (and everyone else in the northeast) am more…
Keep It Sweet Desserts Weekly Wrap-up 3/7/15
Posted on March 7, 2015
The last ten days have been a complete and crazy whirlwind. Last Wednesday we rushed to Philly when I found out my mom was having an emergency surgery (thank g-d she paid attention to pain she was having and is now recovering well). Then we came back Thursday night to pack and get ready for…
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Lactation Cookies
Posted on March 2, 2015
Chewy chocolate chip peanut butter oatmeal cookies that just so happen to be perfect for breastfeeding moms! Loaded with oats, brewer’s yeast, flax and whole wheat flour, these are a delicious way to get your milk supply up! If you had asked me a year ago if I’d ever make lactation cookies, I’d probably look…
New Mom Real Talk Edition 6
Posted on February 26, 2015
New Mom Real Talk: A Day In The Life with a Four Month Old I’ve always enjoyed reading day-in-the-life posts so I figured I’d put one together for you. It ended up being pretty long and probably will bore you, but if you are interested, read on (or just skip the text for cute pictures…
Comfort Food Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Posted on February 23, 2015
Perfect chocolate chunk cookies. Chewy in the center and crispy around the edges, these cookies are pure comfort. A good friend of mine recently brought her second baby home from the hospital. Even though I’m still getting a handle on some aspects of life with a baby, I realized it was time I started returning…
Keep It Sweet Desserts Weekly Wrap-up 2/21/15
Posted on February 21, 2015
From the long holiday weekend, to starting L on oatmeal a few days ago, and then to celebrating my sister’s birthday (HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESSICA!!!), it’s actually been a pretty great week. On top of that, we are heading down to Florida to visit my best friends on Friday and I can NOT wait! They haven’t…
Thin Mint Cookie Cake
Posted on February 16, 2015
Thick and fudgy cookie cake loaded with Thin Mints and topped with Thin Mint Buttercream! I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again, one of the reasons I’ve loved blogging so much (and probably why I’ve stuck with it for almost five years) is that I’ve made some great friends. Not only have I…
Peanut Butter Caramel Candy Cups
Posted on February 12, 2015
Rich homemade candy cups filled with peanut butter caramel sauce and topped with the perfect amount of flaky sea salt. I told you I had something up my sleeve for the caramel sauce. I don’t even think I need to talk too much about these little candy cups, the pictures say it all. Last minute…
