Fall has definitely arrived here in Alexandria,VA. Cooler temps and falling leaves are a constant reminder that summer is over. Very soon, the holiday season will be in full swing. I am not a fan of cooler weather, but do love the holidays and all that comes with it. Especially the food. This Sweet […]

Choco-Mallow Brownies
I apologize in advance to everyone that has made new year’s resolutions to eat healthier by cutting out sweets. From the bottom of my heart, I’m truly sorry that you won’t be able to enjoy these decadent brownies. Just so you don’t feel like you are missing out, I’ll describe them to you. These moist […]
Pumpkin Dip
This Crack Dip, aka Pumpkin Dip, is one recipe that helps me get through fall without becoming too depressed since I know that winter is on the way. If you read my last post (which I am sure you did) you know that I am not really a fan of fall. This dip accidentally became […]
Coconut Sour Cream Layer Cake
It’s been said that patience is a virtue and good things come to those who wait. The Bible also teaches that patience is one of the attributes of the fruit of the Spirit along with love, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Although practicing patience is beneficial, I dare to say that patience […]
Chocolate Eclair Cake
I absolutely love this dessert! The creaminess of the pudding, the softened texture of the graham crackers and the rich chocolate icing are a perfectly delicious combination. Not only is this dessert decadent, but it is super simple too. No baking required, just a little mixing and layering is all there is to it. Well, […]

The hardest part was deciding which pie filling to use. There are so many choices. There’s apple, cherry, key […]

Sweet and salty desserts are all the rage these days. These made-from-scratch Decadent Salted Caramel Cupcakes are delightfully delicious. Perfect for everyday and spectacular enough for a special occasion. They would be beautiful garnished with coarse salt or drizzled with melted caramel. Buon Appetito!
Guiltless Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
Since eating clean I have learned to make many sweet treats without sugar. Instead, I use natural sweeteners like fruit, no sugar added preserves, maple syrup, honey, molasses, or stevia. I can honestly say, most of the time I don’t miss the sugar. However, about once a week I have a cheat day and will […]
No-Bake Layer Bites
Ya’ll these No-Bake Layer Bites are fantastic!! I made these Friday, and they were so good I had them for dinner which was totally not planned, but just could not stop eating them. 🙂 Peanut butter and chocolate are a perfect marriage and the fact that these bites are clean (mostly) make them guilt free […]
White Chocolate and Cranberry Cookies
These cookies are my favorite variation of Mom’s Famous Cookies. The basic cookie recipe is so versatile and can be used for many different flavors of cookies by adding different flavored chips, dry fruit, or nuts. Buon Appetito!
