Sweets — Delish

Zucchini Bread

27 May 2010

Its that time of year! Zucchini overload! We don’t have any zucchini planted but our friends/neighbors do and we’ve already gotten a few good large zucchinis from them. So of course I whipped up some Zucchini bread! I love love love zucchini bread. I can still remember the first time my mom made zucchini bread [...]

Pineapple Sherbet

4 May 2010

I’m not sure how May snuck up on me; time really does go faster as you get older. Speaking of getting older, May means birthdays for both hubby and I Which means I need to start experimenting with some cake recipes! I rarely make cake but our birthdays give me a good excuse to experiment [...]

Caramel Popcorn

1 February 2010

I made my first batch of Caramel Corn several months ago for Girls’ Night. Then I made some again for the holidays. Then I got hooked and have made several more batches. I can’t help myself its delicious. I’ve tried trimming this recipe down several times with less butter and sugar but its never as [...]

Pecan Sandies

17 December 2009

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 [...]

Soft Sugar Cookies

7 December 2009

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 [...]

Lemon Bars

31 May 2009

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

4 May 2009

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 [...]

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies

19 April 2009

I’m growing more and more fond of the peanut butter and chocolate combo. I used to hate it. And generally speaking I still don’t LOVE it like so many people do but I have come to appreciate the complimentary flavors. Some day when I really love the combination, I want to try BakingBlonde’s recipe which [...]

Key Lime Meltaways

17 March 2009

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I contemplated making something special for St. Patrick’s day this year… Guinness Cake or something of the sort but decided I’d contribute a little green to St. Patty’s day by making something with the key limes sitting in our kitchen instead. Hubby loves key limes and I always tell him I’ll [...]

Banana Chocolate Crumb Muffins

15 March 2009

I absolutely love muffins for breakfast. They’re perfect to whip up on the weekend to keep through the week. A good muffin and a piece of fruit and I’m a happy camper in the morning! I love making banana muffins cause I’m not big on bananas even though they’re good for you, but put them [...]

Foodbuzz 24,24,24: A Night of Texas Hold 'Em

1 March 2009

We love entertaining and don’t do it as much as we should but we’re working on it! One of the things we’ve been trying to stick to over the last 8-9 months is having a regularly scheduled game night. We’ve had 3 or 4 to date and they’re always a hit. The thing we haven’t [...]

Chocolate Cupcakes with Cream Filling

25 February 2009

Hubby has a total sweet tooth, especially for bad for you store-bought treats like Hostess cakes and Little Debbies. Its been awhile since I’ve done any real baking so I figured I’d whip up something for him this weekend and remembered seeing these Homemade Hostess Cupcakes awhile back. I did some searching and found several [...]

Muddy Buddies

2 February 2009

I’ve been bad about keeping up with the blog! I’m trying to do better but honestly, right now I’m doing good if I even bother to spend 10 minutes cleaning up the house. I’m embarrassed by how big of a mess it is. Work is crazy and probably only going to get worse before it [...]

Vanilla Chocolate Chunk Muffins

19 January 2009

Hi. My name is ashley. I am a cookbook addict. I have a problem — a constantly growing collection of cookbooks; the majority of which I haven’t made a single recipe from. Great Coffee Cakes, Sticky Buns, Muffins & More by Carole Walter is the perfect example. I still remember when Cream Puffs in Venice [...]

Vanilla Sugar

15 January 2009

Sorry, I’ve gone MIA longer than I intended but work has been crazy. It was decided at the last minute a week ago that I needed to go overseas for work. I left three days and here I am back in Singapore again. I won’t be back home until the end of the month. I [...]
