When I saw these Football Brownie Bites over at What’s Gaby Cooking, I totally fell in love and knew I had to make them for one of our football gatherings. They turned out so cute and were a huge hit for the Husker game. Don’t you love my Husker platter? Go Big Red! I used my favorite

M&M Cookies
I don’t like plain M&M’s. They are boring and I need something to go with my chocolate. But for some reason, I have always loved M&M’s cookies. I think it’s the crunch that the candy coating provides that just puts them over the top for me. And these are definitely the best M&M cookie that
Cherry Limeade Cupcakes
Joel just got through with his yearly review and got really great feedback. I wanted to surprise him with a dessert he would love and immediately thought of Cotton Candy Cupcakes. He loves cotton candy (I personally do not) and always gets cotton candy ice cream when we visit Cold Stone. Well, I searched Fargo high
Cinnamon Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
I have never been a fan of plain vanilla ice cream. It lacks that something special that I need in ice cream. But if said vanilla ice cream is speckled with beautiful little vanilla beans then I’m totally down. After making these yummy Apple Hand Pies, I knew a fresh vanilla bean ice cream would
Classic Southern Desserts Series: Browned Butter-Pecan Shortbread
I think I may have died and gone to heaven….and I didn’t even follow the recipe. After hours of cooking and cleaning, I finally got around to making these cookies. I had browned the butter hours earlier and I had to get these going. My mom was coming to visit so I was rushing through trying to
Cheesecake Filled Strawberries
I am a perfectionist. I expect everything to be done just right (especially when I am doing it myself). I put way too much stress on myself because I won’t let anyone help me, then it all builds up and I crack. This is something I’m trying to work on and admitting it should be
Vanilla Bean Buttercream and Completed 4th of July Cupcakes!
So this is the final installation of my 4th of July cupcake “series.” The ultimate, sweet, creamy and dreamy frosting! I’m pretty sure if a recipe is from the Brown Eyed Baker that you really can’t go wrong and I’m definitely glad that I gave her Vanilla Bean Buttercream a try! These disappeared quickly among
Tutorial: Layered and Tie-Dye 4th of July Cupcakes
This is my absolute favorite go-to recipe for white cake. It is light, airy, moist and fluffy but still has a dense enough texture to stand up to stacking. The deliciousness and ease of this recipe really is hard to believe. I love that there are so many variations on this cake and I can’t wait to
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream
When I asked my husband what kind of dessert he wanted for Father’s Day he immediately responded with cookie dough ice cream. I think he must have been thinking about this for awhile. I made it once last summer and he has been talking about it ever since. I use the pure and simple vanilla
