Flourless Chocolate Cake
This is one of our favorite quick and easy desserts! It gets bonus points because it is gluten free! Ingredients Cake: Ganache Instructions Note: This is a very rich cake, so you can serve thin slices. An 8 inch cake could probably serve 12 people modestly. While this cake stands up for itself on its own, I love to serve it with whipped cream and berries, or caramel sauce (which you can find HERE). Enjoy!

Meteor Ice Cream
Peanut Butter Chocolate Ice Cream with Meteors! One of my kids loves to watch the “I Draw, You Cook” series on YouTube by Tasty. He has been begging for us to do that same thing so, after putting it off for a bit, I agreed! He came up with Meteor Ice Cream… No specifics were given, so I had plenty of creative freedom. Now I won’t say this is the quickest or easiest recipe to throw together, but you will notice there is one component you could leave out to make things easier and still have amazing ice cream! How do I make a meteor??? Something crunchy, but not too…

Banana and Candied Walnut Ice Cream
Before you start, if you don’t like nuts, or you have an allergy, just ditch them! The banana ice cream is delicious all on it’s own! I LOVE making ice cream. I use to have an ice cream machine that you packed with salt and ice, but then I did the math and realized if I was constantly making ice cream then I was better off investing in a machine that I didn’t have to buy ice and salt for (we didn’t have an ice maker at the time..). Plus it saved me time! HERE is a link to the ice cream maker I have, and it’s amazing! My ice…

Caramel Sauce
I absolutely LOVE this caramel sauce! It’s the perfect consistency to keep in the fridge and take big spoonfuls out of the snack on…or dip your apples in…. and if you warm it up for just a few seconds it’s a great ice cream topper! We even poured it on top of our pecan pie this past Thanksgiving and it was wonderful! Ingredients 1 Cup of Sugar 1/4 Cup of Water 2/3 Cup of Heavy Cream 3 TBL of Unsalted Butter 1 tsp of Vanilla Instructions Get a saucepan that seems way bigger than necessary. (At some point the caramel will bubble up and you will be thankful you used…

Sprinkle Shortbread Rounds
One of my favorite things in the world is cooking for my kids. I absolutely love it! And there is one question I get repeatedly for people, “How do you have the time???” I get it, that’s a very fair question. My secret is early preparation. I’ll mention this a little more in some future blog posts, but I am well known for taking the day to cook large batches of a food item and then freezing it to cut down on my meal prep time. The other day I was finishing up school registration and started think about school lunches. I had this idea that I wanted to make…

Chunky Brownies
All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt. Charles M. Schulz Happy April Fool’s Day! I woke up the kids this morning and told them there was a big pan of brownies in the kitchen. They ran in to find this: They loved it and then had fun Facetiming our family and telling them they got to eat brownies (Brown E’s) for breakfast! But after all of that I promised them that we could make real brownies! Now I will admit, this recipe has a couple weird ingredients that probably aren’t a staple in many houses, but I totally recommend giving them a try.…

Chocolate Chip Cookies
A balanced diet is a cookie in each hand. Barbara Johnson Chocolate Chip Cookies are a staple in my house. If you don’t see a jar of them on my countertop then just go look for my hidden stash in the freezer. nothing is better than a frozen chocolate chip cookie in summer! This recipe came from my grandma and will make about 60 cookies. They are the perfect mix of chewy and just a little crispy. Not too thin and not too thick. Obviously I think they are simply the best! Now, before I give you the recipe, I have a tip I want to talk about. Be very…
