Lots of baking recipes lately! With all the guilt that’s come along with all that bad eating… I decided to make something healthy! Cookies! ha! [...]

I have an egg intolerance. It sucks. I didn’t always have an intolerance for eggs, but its developed over the last few years. I’ve been tested and I’m not allergic so I can eat eggs but its not good. I feel sick for hours/days depending upon the quantity. The exception seems to be baked goods [...]

Project Pastry Queen has officially commenced with week two of recipe posting! This recipe was my first pick for our little project; I’ve had my eye on this recipe forever. I’d love to make actual fried pies but I’ve never fried anything at home so I opted for the baked version. Not such a bad “alternative” [...]

I recently posted a quick poll on our Facebook fan page to see what kind of ice cream recipes y’all wanted to see on the blog.

I really don’t know when I started liking lemon. I used to say I only liked things that were mildly lemony but I hardly think that’s the case anymore. It all started with Ina’s fabulously Lemon Yogurt Cake. These cookies actually remind me of that cake a lot. These are lemony delicious. The ricotta makes [...]

I’ve been doing some baking recently with butter! I know, strange way to start a post but this really is exciting for me. The last year has been so full of whole wheat, low fat baking goodies that its nice to be baking occassionally with the good stuff. Weight watchers has been good to me. I haven’t [...]

I forgot how much I loved butter until I made this pound cake. haha. But really, I haven’t made anything with this much butter in probably well over a year. I’m constantly cutting fat in recipes and I never bake anything that requires much more than one stick of butter, simply because I worked too [...]

Cookies, cookies galore! Its amazing I haven’t gained an ounce this season yet. I guess weight watchers did me good in helping me moderate portions, etc. cause so far so good! I haven’t tracked points in months but have managed to maintain my weight so I’m a happy camper. These suckers though… there was nothing [...]

I have no idea when I started enjoying sugar cookies so much. Don’t get me wrong, I’d still prefer chocolate *anything* 9 times out of 10 but somehow these sugar cookies have made their way into my favorites! Sneaky little buggers! But if you give them a taste, you’ll know why. They’re delicious. Soft and [...]

Hubby loves lemon bars. Honestly I don’t like them at all. I’m just not a huge fan of lemon although I recently fell in love with this Lemon Yogurt Cake. I couldn’t stop eating it! The concept of lemon bars sounds fabulous – that buttery shortbread type crust with gooey lemony filling (if you like [...]

Lemon Yogurt Cake. Honestly, its something I skipped right past when I got my Barefoot Contessa at Home cookbook years ago. I’m just not that into citrus desserts. Hubby loves them though and as I bake more goodies for him, my fondness of all things citrus is growing. This was definitely a lemon cake but [...]
