Dark Chocolate Bacon Cupcakes

At the end of this post, feel free to cast your vote as to whether you would try a dark chocolate bacon cupcake! You either love it or you hate it – the dark chocolate bacon cupcake.  When I first heard about this cupcake over at No One Puts Cupcake In A Corner I was [...]

Microwave Chocolate Mug Cake

DSCN0301

I was a huge skeptic of the microwave mug cake when I first heard about it, well over a year ago now.  How could a microwave produce a good cake?  I tried out the recipe soon and discovered that the microwave could not produce a good cake!  I believe I overcooked it, as it was super rubbery [...]

Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies

I’m not sure if I was looking in the wrong place, but it seems I had a hard time finding a chocolate oatmeal cookie recipe.  I could have just made up my own recipe, or a sort of Frankenstein combination, if you will, of a few different cookie recipes, but just as I was about [...]

English Toffee

I’m not too fond of hard candy, but I’ve been determined to make my own toffee for a few months now.  I kept putting it off because, like a lot of others, I was scared of using the candy thermometer!  In my search for an easy toffee recipe, I came across Paula Deen’s, which looked [...]

Cowboy Cookies

Okay, so that wasn’t much of a hiatus, was it!  Let’s just say that I guess I won’t be going on a hiatus, I just won’t be updating quite as often! Anyway, what did bring me out of my hiatus was Bakerella’s post about cowgirl/boy cookies.  Her cookie-mix-in-a-jar was so adorable!  I’m definitely going to [...]

Lemon Chocolate Cupcakes

I was this close to entering July’s Iron Cupcake: Earth herb challenge, but couldn’t find the herbs I wanted – I wanted them fresh.  But I decided to go ahead and try the cupcake I wanted to make, but without the herbs, just for fun.  It ended up being one of my favorite cupcakes that [...]

Faux Hostess Cupcakes

DSCN7056

On a recent visit to My Baking Addiction I saw a faux Hostess cupcake.  Like Jamie, I keep seeing these cupcakes over and over again and have tried to keep from baking them myself.  I thought that there were way too many out there already, and they looked just a little time-consuming.  But Jamie’s version [...]

Pillsbury Biscuit Donuts

DSCN6910

When I first heard that one could make donuts out of Pillsbury’s refrigerated biscuit dough, I had to give it a go.  It didn’t seem to make much sense, after all, this is a biscuit that you eat with dinner, not dessert! It took me a while to get around to making these.  I think [...]

Chocolate Raspberry Jello Pie

DSCN6693

When I was living with my parents and in my later years of high school, there was a watermelon Jello pie recipe that I just loved.  I made it at family gatherings and a few cookouts over the years.  I haven’t been able to find watermelon Jello anymore, but this particular recipe will accomodate any [...]

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Pancakes

DSCN6683

I really have been in a pancake mood lately.  I really liked my chocolate chip pancakes and wanted to make them again, but I thought I’d do something different this time – make peanut butter chocolate chip pancakes! The peanut butter pancake recipe comes from Sunny Anderson; I just added the chocolate chips myself.  I [...]
