Pumpkin Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies
I am a sucker for a good chocolate chip cookie. I have to say, these pumpkin dark chocolate chip cookies may even be my favorite new chocolate chip cookies.

They are really almost the perfect chocolate chip cookie. I am not sure if you have ever used pumpkin in your cookies before, but I am here to tell you to go for it. The pumpkin adds a really nice texture along with a light flavor that is amazing. The pumpkin in these pumpkin dark chocolate chip…

No Churn Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream
I love me some chocolate peanut butter ice cream. This No churn chocolate peanut butter ice cream may just be my new favorite.

Triple Chocolate Chip Cookies
Yay!! Chocolate, times 3! Oh yes, sign me up all day, every day! I am not actually much of a sweet tooth. I usually prefer salty foods to sweet desserts. Yet, if chocolate is involved, it is very hard for me to pass up. If there is white chocolate involved, it is even harder for me to pass up. And if it is a fudgy, yet crisp cookie… let’s just say, I am not passing it up! This recipe actually started as a double chocolate cookie recipe that I created for a class at work. They were a huge hit by those that attended the class as well as my coworkers. So, when…

Spring Desserts
I made these two desserts for Easter and they were a huge hit. I made lemon meringue pie and olive oil cake that I served with amarena cherries. The hint of orange with the cherries was incredible. I feel like lemon meringue pie is one of those desserts that people are intimidated to make. Really it is not hard, it is just a little time consuming. I like to break it up to make it easier to get it done. We usually make the pie crust and par bake it and then make the curd and then assemble and bake everything together. It makes it easier to manage, especially when you are doing…

Cadbury Mini Egg Cookies
These are the best Easter Candy cookies EVER!!!! I have always been a Cadbury creme egg fan. I know they are not everyone’s jam, because they are very sweet and the inside can be a lot to get through. Yet, I have always said that the chocolate on them is not like any other. Then when they came out with the Mini eggs… I flipped out! They are AMAZING! The candy coating on the outside of the Mini eggs is not like any other candy coating. So, darn good! With all of that said, when it was time to come up with Easter themed desserts, I could not skip over the amazing…
