    Irresistible Chocolate Cake

    Dear friends, I’m sharing one of my family’s favorite dessert recipes today; Irresistible (and deceptively easy) chocolate cake! Somehow, it ends up on the table during all our special celebrations including birthdays, anniversaries and holidays! This moist and delicious cake is always a hit and stores beautifully. It genuinely tastes as though you spent hours baking it, but it can be our little secret that it contains boxed cake mix! Scroll down for my video tutorial. The recipe is in the caption and the printable recipe is at the end.

    Trix Krispie Treats

    Dear friends, I hope that you are all hanging in there at this challenging and sometimes scary time. I know it is particularly confusing for our little ones to witness these sweeping changes in their lives and routines. At times like this I find that I seek solace in a little bit of cooking as it helps take my mind off other concerns. So, I thought that I’d share a recipe that your kids might enjoy; Trix marshmallow treats. I know that my teenage boys love it. It’s a very easy recipe with only three ingredients. Perhaps you and your kids can make some today! Hope that you’re all staying safe. Take care.

    Cranberry Bliss Bars (Starbucks’ Copycat Recipe)

    Dear friends, I am a huge fan of the “Starbucks'” Cranberry Bliss Bars. However, they are pricey! So, after testing out several copycat recipes for these delicious treats, I’ve come up with my own budget conscious version. I’ve added chopped crystalized ginger (which is not found in the Starbucks’ bars) which adds depth of flavor and a satisfying chewy bite. They would be the perfect addition at a ladies’ brunch or at your next holiday dessert party. Enjoy!
