Caramel Apple Dump Cake
Last fall I discovered the beauty of dump cake. The name is really not the most appealing (let’s be honest) but the end result – so good! I was shocked to discover that it takes about 5 minutes to put together. You literally dump the ingredients into a pan, give it a quick mix with a fork, and sprinkle it with cake mix and melted butter. Uh, I can totally do that. And so can you! I take mine to the next level with my own spiced whip... Read More

Zabaione: A Fashionable Delight!
Zabaione is a sophisticated dessert that’s perfect for a fashion week party! It’s meant to be served as an aperitif. It’s a creamy confection originated in Italy and can be served with an array of fresh fruit… figs being the customary choice. It’s made with egg yolks, sugar and a sweet white wine. I used a Prosecco made by Lamarca and a tablespoon of Marsala, which both worked perfectly when whipping up this yummy treat. The texture... Read More
PB Caramel Ice Cream Sammies
There’s a fine line between me being lazy and me chasing down the ice cream truck for an ice cream sandwich. That and the fact that my tastes have changed as I have gotten older, inspired me to make these super yummy Mini Salted Caramel Peanut Butter Brownie Ice Cream Sandwiches. The title is a mouthful… but then again, so are the ice cream sandwiches. These sandwiches take a few steps, but are actually quite easy to make. First, m... Read More
Polka Dot Rainbow Cupcakes
Party Rainbow Chip - It’s like a party every time you take a bite! Party Rainbow Chip has always been my favorite box cake. I remember asking my mom to make it for several birthdays.  They are really cute as cupcakes. To match the adorable dots inside, I pipe rainbow polka dots on the top. I have to say, these little dots add a lot of charm to the cupcakes! Polka Dot Rainbow Cupcakes are adorable and the bright colors are a dose of happiness.... Read More
I Want S’more Cake
I only like one thing about camping – S’mores. Camping was the only time growing up that we ever got them. Maybe because my mother was opposed to the idea of setting up a bonfire in the living room. All I know is that for something so simple, I sure did love them. Still do to this day. Since I still can’t make a bonfire in my home, I had to find alternatives like this I Want S’mores Cake. All of the flavors are there - chocolate, grah... Read More
Honey Nut Cheerios Ice Cream Crunch Cake
When I was a kid we were the fun house on the block. My mother was the one that allowed sugared cereals (Count Chocula was my all-time favorite) while the other neighbor kids ate Grape Nuts (there are no nuts!) and Shredded Wheat. Cheerios were the only acceptable healthy cereal to me. The neighbor kids suffered through until the creation of their cereal savior…Honey Nut Cheerios. Finally they had a cereal that was good for them and had a hint... Read More
Strawberry-Rhubarb Bars
Growing up, we visited my grandparents and other relatives in Michigan every summer. And every time we were there they made Rhubarb Grunt (like a cobbler). I thought it was dreadful. Way too tart. But everybody, especially my mother, loved it and we seemed to have it everywhere we went...to my dismay. Then, while visiting a cousin, they offered up some Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie. I quickly turned them down when I heard the word “rhubarb.”... Read More
S’mores Crescent Rolls
S'mores tucked inside warm and flaky Crescent rolls. That about says it all. It’s probably not necessary for me to explain to you how delicious s’mores are. I mean, everyone pretty much knows that melted chocolate and marshmallows are a winning combination. So how do we make a winning combination even more winning? Add Pillsbury Crescent rolls. Obviously. The directions for these S'mores Crescent Rolls are uber simple. Pick your po... Read More
