Sweet Potato Marshmallow Bars with White Chocolate Chips

Last week Kelly over at Evil Shenanigans posted a recipe for White Chocolate, Cranberry, Pecan and Sweet Potato Cookies. While the pictures looked amazing and made me want to eat each and every one, I realized I’d never thought about using sweet potatoes to make a cookie.  Then I remembered there’s sweet potato pie and… Continue reading Sweet Potato Marshmallow Bars with White Chocolate Chips

Pumpkin Flan

I always know when it’s November.  No, it’s not by looking on the calendar, it’s because all the stores have somehow managed to take down their Halloween decorations and put up their Christmas decorations in one night. It’s because Starbucks starts serving their drinks in Christmas cups.  It’s because on the cover of almost every… Continue reading Pumpkin Flan

White Russian Brownies in honor of BHF10PP

Blogher.com is the web’s leading guide to women in the social media world.  They’ve been holding conferences on blogging and the blogging community for the past six years.  But with all the food bloggers out there, one two-day conference just wasn’t enough. Hence Blogher Food was born.  In its infancy, the conference is only in its second year, but… Continue reading White Russian Brownies in honor of BHF10PP

Lemon/Lime Bars

I love lemon bars. They’re always so yummy, so easy to make and a nice addition to any picnic. But the other day when I wanted them for an outdoor concert, I discovered I was low on lemons.  I did have a ton of limes, though.  So I started thinking what if I made lime bars instead?  But… Continue reading Lemon/Lime Bars

Cafe au Lait Cupcakes

As some of you know, a cupcake shop in Florida, Sweet Surrender Cupcake and Cookie Cafe,  was having a contest several weeks ago.  I heard about it from Bake it Pretty and thought I’d enter.  So I asked several close friends and relatives which cupcake I should make? A chocolate cupcake with fresh strawberry frosting, a… Continue reading Cafe au Lait Cupcakes

Lemon Mousse Pie

  Now that summer’s officially here, that means amazing fruit is back in season and light, fruity desserts are a must have for all those outdoor parties.  I love my chocolate, but I also love a good fruit tart or pie.  It doesn’t matter if it’s blueberry, strawberry, peach or plum, they’re all wonderful.  But… Continue reading Lemon Mousse Pie
