Brownie PB Cup Bites

My aunt made these and brought them over to my mom’s house for Christmas.  When I saw them I though they were unassuming brownies with M&M’s on top.  I was wrong.  These brownie bites have a peanut butter cup hiding in them.  Who’s a happy girl?  ME!!

I can’t believe I’m about to give away this cocktail recipe.  It took me months to get this recipe off the bartender who served this shot to us.  Literally months. I used to wait tables and I bartended for a couple years too.  This is how Mike and I met.  We worked at the same [...]

Honey Pound Cake

I’ve always adored pound cake.  Yes, homemade is best.  But I’ve been known to buy a frozen Sara Lee pound cake and not share and maybe eat it all in one sitting.  Kidding…Unless you do that too.  Then we’re meant to be friends! This pound cake has a little extra sweetness and the crust gets [...]

These cookies arrived a few years ago among the baker’s dozen Food Network sent out.  They are [...]
