I don’t know if there’s an official chocolate season, but I think the entire month of October leading up to Halloween, and probably November and December and January… well, let’s just call it October through February shall we? Chocolate season is October through February. That’s a lot of chocolate, y’all. A lot of chocolate…
Do you have a snack that whisks you back to the sticky fingers, smudged faces, gap toothed smiles, full bellies, and pure happiness of childhood? Caramel Corn is one of those foods that immediately takes me back to baseball games, county fairs, rodeos, and lazy afternoons sharing bowls of sticky caramel coated corn with my…
Do you remember your first Chex mix? I vividly remember the first salty, crunchy handful of Chex cereal mixed with pretzels and spices. It was intoxicating and completely addicting. Playing with Chex cereals to create different mixes, blends, holiday recipes etc… is something that I find great pleasure in, and I’ve been known…
What cookie takes you on a trip back to childhood? What cookie whisks you back to flour coated faces, sticky fingers, and snatching barely cooled straight-out-of-the-oven-still-too-hot-to-eat cookies? One bite of an Oatmeal Scotchie sends me straight back to my Granny’s kitchen. Straight back to fighting with my brothers over pouring, stirring, mixing, spoon licking, and…
Perhaps I should have called this slightly tipsy, just a little bit adult cranberry avocado pumpkin bread? C’est la vie.

I have so many memories that involve sitting on sun-warmed curbs licking the ice cream from the…
Let’s talk about turning banana splits on their sides – because it’s summer and that means grilling, but it also means ice cream, and Hershey’s Syrup so I combined my love for both, and I’m here to tell you; the result is mouth-watering, delectable, sweet, rich, and bottom of the bowl lickable good. Grilling fruits…
Do you remember Dirt Cakes? Chocolate cake and pudding topped with crushed chocolate sandwich cookie crumbs and candy worms? Both shudder worthy and totally delicious. What kid doesn’t love pretending to eat worms and dirt?
Is there anything more cozy and comforting than walking into a house that smells of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies? There’s a reason that real estate specialists and home stylists pop a tray of chocolate chip cookies into the oven prior to open houses and showings…. Chocolate Chip Cookies are one of the ultimate feel…
I love homemade ice cream, but I don’t have an ice cream maker – so I’m limited as to what homemade ice creams I can have. Ever since making the Spiked Peach Cobbler Ice Cream with Bourbon Caramel Sauce, I’ve been a bit obsessed with the ease of making super creamy, rich ice cream and…
Chewy, rich dark chocolate cookies, dipped in creamy white chocolate and topped with crushed candy canes. I am so excited to be a part of this year’s Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap, the brainchild of two people whom I absolutely adore: Julie and Lindsay. If you want to learn more about the Great Food Blogger…
Sugar. Bourbon. Pecans. Chocolate. All good things, yes? One of my very favorite desserts of all time is my Texas Chocolate Sheet Cake, it was even featured on the Williams-Sonoma blog!
