Dessert Baked Potato
When I was growing up there was a restaurant in our town that served “dessert baked potatoes.” It was ice cream rolled in a sweetened cocoa mixture then topped with whipped cream and a few other toppings. We only ate there once or twice, but it had a lasting effect on our family and was…

Chocolate Icebox Pie
Recently my grandfather and I were talking about pie, which isn’t really abnormal; but, he was telling me that he grew up eating Chocolate Icebox Pie. Having never heard of this pie before I wondered how it was different from Chocolate Meringue Pie, Chocolate Cream Pie, Chocolate Chess Pie or Chocolate Silk Pie. I’m still…

Classic Buttermilk Waffles
After trying King Arthur’s pancake recipe I decided it was time to crack open their King Arthur Baking Companion and try their waffle recipe. Personally I’m more of a waffle girl so I’m always game to taste test waffle recipes. 🙂 There’s four steps to this recipe; it really can’t get any easier than that!…

Cherries Jubilee
I’ve been really excited to try this recipe for a few weeks now. It may not look super exciting in the photo above, but you get to flambé the cherries which basically means you pour alcohol into the pan and set it on fire to caramelize the sugar. I chose the recipe from Saving Room…

Best-Ever Key Lime Pie
I’ve made Key Lime Pie before, but never fully from scratch. So I was really excited when I ran across this recipe that not only made a graham cracker crust from scratch, but also skipped the Key Lime juice as an ingredient and used fresh limes. . I was a little nervous about the fact…

Banana Pudding
Is it even a 4th of July celebration without Banana Pudding?!? This is hands down the easiest recipe you’ll ever make and I’m pretty sure it took about 10 minutes. Outside of an amazing banana pudding I had at Germantown Commissary in Memphis years ago, (you know what I’m talking about HH) this is one…

Strawberry Cream Cake
Imagine a giant strawberry shortcake and that’s this cake. I don’t want to give any spoilers on the taste here but I can’t help it – this cake is soooo good! This cake portion of this recipe isn’t too difficult but I continue to have issues when I have to fold whipped egg whites into…
