Donut Cake (Pumpkin Spice)
Donut cake was on my list of recipes to try ever since my sister told me about it over a month ago. It was a fun little cake to make! Reminds me of this Crumb (Coffee) Cake we used to make pretty frequently. We enjoyed the Donut Cake by itself the first day, and got fancy... (see the full recipe!)
Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
When I was a little girl, my family took a trip to visit our grandparents. One of the days we were with them just so happened to be my birthday. I don't remember what kind of cake I asked for, but it was probably chocolate or pink or something like that. When my grandma... (see the full recipe!)
Chocolate Covered Dates with Almonds
My husband visited Switzerland recently and of course stocked up on delicious gourmet chocolates (which sadly are all gone now). Some of the chocolates he brought home that were surprisingly really good were chocolate covered dates with almonds in the middle. As a kid, dates... (see the full recipe!)
Cranberry Jello Dessert
One thing I love about my siblings is that we all kinda speak "food". We appreciate good food and get pretty excited to try new recipes. We generally try to eat healthy, nutritious things. Some of my favorite recipes have come from, or been inspired by, a sister or brother... (see the full recipe!)
Fruit Cobbler (Canned Peaches and Frozen Berries)

Almost made a small 8x8 square dish of it, but I figured we'd make a 9x13 sized dish to have plenty of leftovers for breakfast. And the 9x13 size was... (see the full recipe!)
French Hot Chocolate (Chocolat Chaud)
This French Hot Chocolate recipe is totally gourmet style. Definitely not your everyday hot cocoa (unless you live in France maybe??) It's like drinking a thick, rich, liquid chocolate. I would recommend this as a once a year special hot chocolate, maybe to sip on during... (see the full recipe!)
Rice Krispie Treats on the Stovetop
We actually like to call these Celebration Rice Krispie Treats. We made them to celebrate Busy Dad coming home from a work trip, and kids learning how to tie shoe laces. The addition of whole mini marshmallows throughout the treats and colorful sprinkles on top make these extra... (see the full recipe!)
Vegan Banana Muffins with Crumb Topping
These Vegan Banana Muffins are probably the most divine thing you can make with four speckled bananas. Seriously. And the crumb topping is soft, and sort of melts onto the top of the muffin. These would make a great breakfast, snack or even dessert! Although there is sugar and... (see the full recipe!)
