I find it hard to explain why I love pound cakes so much, as there is nothing really fancy about a pound cake. It's simple, made with only a few basic ingredients, and it's dense by nature.

This is the 2nd year in a row that I have participated in 1,000 Cooks for the Cure, an event run by KitchenAid. The main goal is to promote breast cancer awareness and raise funds. I'm proud to participate in honor of both my grandmother and my friend, Pam, who are both survivors.
Before preparing the cheesecake, the peppermint bark needs to be made. It's best to do this step at least a day ahead. Melt 4oz dark chocolate with 1/2 tsp vegetable oil. Mix in 1/8 tsp peppermint extract. Spread thin over a sheet of wax paper on a baking sheet.

Easy no bake desserts are always a quick and easy treat to make up. These easy no bake Banana Cream Pies in a jar make the perfect end to any dinner. Did you know that today was Pi Day? March 14th = 3/14 = 3.14 Yeah, that's kind of losing me too.
This Loaded Butterscotch Cheesecake might literally be the best cheesecake I've ever had, let alone made. It is so darn good. It's loaded with butterscotch and is the dream dessert for a butterscotch lover. Every bite is like a creamy, delicious bite of butterscotch. Mmmm...
