Vanilla Oreo Mason Jar Cakes

It was Laurel Tribute last night (a recognition night for the graduating seniors) and even though I’m not in Young Women anymore, my friend Diana, the new YW president, asked if I would make the treats, yippee!!  It was held in the Bishop’s backyard so I thought these little mason jar cakes would go just … Continue reading

M&M Pudding Cookies

These were delicious!  The pudding in the mix gives them the perfect little crisp on the outside with a soft and gooey inside.  They come from “Six Sisters’ Stuff” and I will be making them again for sure. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup brown sugar 1 egg 1/2 teaspoon vanilla … Continue reading

Lemon Sugar Cookies

Bridal Shower for my sweet friend Brianne yesterday so I contributed these beauties which looked and tasted divine!  Not hard to make, a little time consuming but not too bad.  The recipe comes from “Cooking Classy”.  The next time I make these I will probably double the amount of lemon extract in both the cookies … Continue reading

Loaded M&M Oreo Cookie Bars

These were the second treat for the big shindig for the boys from church.  I actually preferred these to the Snickers bars but then, like I said, I’m not a Snickers fan.  The recipe comes from “Averie Cooks”. 1 cup butter (2 sticks), melted 2 eggs 2 cups brown sugar, packed 2 tablespoons vanilla 2 … Continue reading

Snickers Brownie Bites

And now the treats for Bob’s party for the boys.  These little beauties come from “Six Sisters’ Stuff” and I am told that they did indeed taste like Snickers.  I tried one but I’m not really a Snickers fan so wouldn’t know but they were really yummy. 1 box brownie mix plus ingredients to make … Continue reading

Premium Tres Leches Cake

Here’s our Cinco de Mayo dessert which was outstanding!  I have another Tres Leches cake on the blog that is made from scratch so I wanted to try one made with a cake mix to compare and this is by far the winner, everyone liked this one better, it was moister and fluffier and tastier.  … Continue reading

Strawberry Shortcakes

Spent some of the day Saturday making treats for a church activity that night, I made these from the Food Network and also made a chocolate version which you can find here.  Both are pretty easy to make, I changed up the Food Network recipe a bit so you can check the link for the … Continue reading

Black Magic Cake

Courtney and Jaren come over a lot for Sunday dinner and Cort always wants chocolate cake for dessert so yesterday I just made this cake without even asking her what she wanted since I knew the answer already.  The recipe comes from “allrecipes” and is delicious! 1 3/4 cups flour 2 cups sugar 3/4 cup … Continue reading

Three Ingredient Lemon Loaf

This recipe seemed to good to be true so I had to give it a try.  It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t great either, it just wasn’t lemony enough but I think with a little tweaking it could be great.  It’s a Betty Crocker recipe and I’ll try it again at some point with some … Continue reading
