My sister and I used to beg my mom for things like Fruity Pebbles and Frosted Flakes. She didn't cave often, but I remember the few times she did... she'd sigh and say "If I buy this, are you really going to eat it this time?"
The first year Jack and I were together, he was working in Austin while I was finishing college in Chicago. He'd come visit me nearly once a month. It feels like such long time ago now (11 years, yikes) ... many of those early memories are fuzzy, but a few stand out.
I'm rolling through this week with one dessert after another. It might be a manic period or a start of a new trend. Whichever it is, I'm not making a declaration of it, being that all my other ones have immediately failed or the trend goes away when I do.
Vanilla Caramel Gelato: Creamy, cold, sweet and delicious, this Gelato is the perfect Summer treat! This is a story all about how I eat Gelato the best way I know HOW! Once upon a time I lived in the big city, worked as an executive, and paid a rent price that was double the mortgage that I pay now.
Apricot Ricotta Cheesecake: This light and fluffy Ricotta Cheesecake is sweetened with honey and packed with delicious chunks of apricots. Welcome to *unintended* Ricotta week. Ricotta Cake on Monday and Ricotta Cheesecake on Wednesday. Not too shabby. You know how it's summer and 80+ degrees out there?
Ice Cream Filled Vanilla Cupcakes: Sweet Vanilla Cupcakes are filled with Vanilla Ice Cream and topped with a Whipped Cream Frosting. Whatever happened to predictability? The milkman, the paper boy, and evening TV? (I SO hope you can name that tune!) I'm not sure about the milkman or the paper boy, but evening TV and I are good buds.
Just saying the name of this beautiful drink makes me feel refreshed and tipsy! Say it... just do it! See! I told you! You feel refreshed already! On days like this I figure that not everything has to be baked or fried; hubs is on grill-duty and I'm on drink( ing)-duty.
Rich chocolate cake stuffed with a gooey marshmallow filling, these homemade ding dongs are just as good or even better than the store-bought ones. My husband loves Ding Dong cakes. Every now and then he used to come home with some and enjoyed them over a cup of coffee.
Quick and easy flaky bacon biscuits made with leftover mashed potatoes and fresh rosemary. It will take less than 30 minutes to make them! Serve the biscuits with eggs in the morning, soup or a salad for lunch, or with a bowl of chili for dinner.
Sandwiched between a chocolate crust and chocolate crumble topping , these creamy dreamy chocolate cherry cheesecake bars are loaded with fresh cherries and chocolate chips If I had to pick one fruit to describe summer spend at my grandparents when I was a wee one, cherry would be the perfect fit.
