A Big Keep It Sweet Desserts Thank You
Posted on November 22, 2012
It’s Thanksgiving morning and after a week of crazy, I’m finally taking a few minutes to sit down, reflect, and just enjoy the holiday that brings together two of my favorite things, food and family.

Posted on November 15, 2012
1 week. 7 days. Some amount of hours that does not feel like enough. That’s how much time there is until Thanksgiving. Don’t get me wrong, I’m so excited for the holiday, but boy did things get crazy really fast! It seems like just yesterday I was in the summer lull and just like that…

Posted on October 28, 2012
Well, with everyone hunkering down for the next couple of days to hopefully stay safe from the storm, I’ll officially start to make my way through the piles of recipes and cookbooks in my apartment to come up with a Thanksgiving menu. Ok, who are we kidding, I need to decide on desserts! While I…
Cookie Butter Lava Whole Wheat Banana Muffins
Posted on October 19, 2012
Healthy banana muffins with a surprise cookie butter filling. I think I looked at about fifty different banana muffin and bread variations before finally deciding to make these muffins.

Sweet and Salty Candy Bar Blondies
Posted on October 16, 2012
The fudgiest blondies loaded with everyone's favorite sweet and salty candies. When I asked my Father-in-Law what he wanted for his birthday dessert, his only request was chocolate covered pretzels. Sweet and salty, who doesn’t love those? But come on, it is a birthday dessert! And since chocolate covered pretzels are what I make as…

This post is brought to you by Ghirardelli Intense Dark™ Chocolate. Lately I’ve been trying not to eat about a billion cookies a day. Shocking, I know. But would you believe that something like that caught up with me and apparently my clothes are all a bit tight? Apparently I need to get back to…
Easy Low Fat Pumpkin Sheet Cake
Posted on October 8, 2012
This 5-ingredient pumpkin cake is so good, you would never know it is guilt-free! This past Saturday, I took some of my own advice and set aside a day where no work would be done! It was actually something I scheduled a few weeks ago when the Jewish holidays had me swamped. Scheduling time off…
Mini Halloween Confetti Cookie Sandwiches
Posted on October 3, 2012
These cookies are so much fun for Halloween, not to mention, delicious! Cater them to your holiday of choice with different colors. As much as I prepared before launching Keep It Sweet Desserts, there is so much learning that I’ve done on the job over the last few months. Countless lessons learned, mistakes made, products…

Dessert for Breakfast or Breakfast for Dessert
Posted on September 19, 2012
I might be an oatmeal girl most days of the week, but pancakes and other sweet treats will always have a special place in my heart. Often, when we go on vacation, we will try to balance breakfast with an egg white omelet and a side of donuts, pancakes or waffles. We all deserve to…
