When Erin emailed me about participating in Caroline’s virtual baby shower I could not say yes fast enough. Caroline is one of my favorite bloggers and I’ve loved seeing her excitement about the soon-to-come baby over the last several months. It is so obvious that she and Logan are going to be amazing parents. Deciding…

Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies

Posted on April 13, 2012

Even though I LOVE my job now and am so proud of how successful Keep It Sweet Desserts seems to be so far, I still look forward to the weekend.  This week I crammed as much work as possible into Monday-Thursday so that I can spend three full days out of the kitchen and (for…

Chocolate Chunk Meringues

Posted on April 9, 2012

How was everyone’s weekend?  I can’t help but be envious of anyone who got an Easter basket yesterday.  For my entire life I’ve wanted one, is that weird?  You better believe that I will be taking advantage of the post-Easter candy sales, though!  I hope I can get my hands on some of those solid…

Magic Cake Bars for Easter

Posted on April 5, 2012

For the record, Matt wanted me to take a picture of my hand over the cake and pretend it was the hand of our little niece or nephew helping in the kitchen. 1) We don’t have any nieces or nephews 2) No one wants to see my hands after twelve hour days in the kitchen…

Birthday Brunch

Posted on April 3, 2012

A couple of weeks ago we celebrated my mother-in-law’s 60th birthday with a brunch party. Marcia decided that for her birthday, she wanted to thank all her friends and family for being a part of her life.  She even asked that no one get her a gift but donate to a family charity instead. Brunch…

Ooey Gooey Peep Stuffed Cookies

Posted on March 30, 2012

These days, it is very rare that I make a dessert recipe a second time.  Other than what I am selling, I like to constantly try new things and am always on a mission to share something new and creative with you. But sometimes, your friends and family cling onto that cookie you made and…

Spring Cleaning Chocolate & Peanut Butter Lover's Bark

Posted on March 23, 2012

One week down and I’m feeling really good about this working from home thing.  I’m sure that some of the beginner’s high will die down after a while, but I’m glad to be off to such a productive start!  Sure, I might have left out half of the baking soda in a cookie recipe and…

Cappuccino Cheesecake Cake Bars

Posted on March 14, 2012

I made these cheesecake bars a few weeks ago after going through my collection of recipes that I’d emailed to myself over time.  There was expired cream cheese in my kitchen that I wanted to bake with and was lacking for ideas. Luckily I found this recipe on Noble Pig a while ago and was…
