These Butterbeer Cupcakes truly are the best ever! Moist, fluffy butterscotch-vanilla creme cake topped with a fluffy butterscotch frosting and caramel sauce. Incredible!
So I guess I'm on a cupcake roll? I posted cupcakes last week, and cupcakes this week. Cupcake Monday should be a thing, don't ya think?
Besides that, my book party was this weekend and it was a success!

Frozen Bananas Foster
Some of you may know from prior posts, but I cook dinner for my family every single night.
And have since I was 14. I'm now 25. That means I've been cooking for over a decade. I feel supremely old and exhausted.
ANYWAY.
Lately, I've been in such a major cooking rut. I feel like we eat the same 5 things week after week, and honestly, I'm just over the whole cooking bit.

Triple Chip Blondies
One of my favorite stores on earth is Trader Joe's.
I've talked about Trader Joe's before, and I still feel the same way. But in case you don't know, IÂ love the store but I hate the clientele.
Every time I go, everyone and their mother is there shopping, so there's never a great time to shop there. And everyone and their mother push their carts at about -58736 mph, thus

Tropical Pina Colada Ambrosia Salad
So. Easter's coming up -- it's hard to believe it's so soon with an early April 5th this year! So if ya don't mind me, I'm going to be posting Easter recipes up the wazoo, mmkay? First up: Tropical Pina Colada Ambrosia. But first, a story! *collective sighs* As a kid, my family and I would go to my grandma's house for Easter breakfast every year. And every year, she'd hide

Coconut Ranger Cookies {And My Caribbean Vacay Recap!}
So if you've been following me on Instagram, you know I went on a blog-related Caribbean cruise a couple weeks ago. And it was amazing. It was my first time cruising, so I was a little *teensy* bit skeptical. I mean, what if we encountered a rogue iceberg? Or killer pirates? Or sharks with laser beams on their heads, Austin Powers-style? It could happen. But none of it did

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Baklava
So. I kinda sorta trashed the living ish outta this baklava, but I'm not sure anyone will be too upset about it. I remember the first time I tried Greek food. I was dating this guy -- we'll call him A -- and he and his family lived in downtown Sacramento in this gorgeous 40's-era mansion. 'A' and his folks were really liberal and artsy and totally not at all like what I was

As a kid, one of my favorite snacks were Snack Pack Puddings! Â Chocolate was my favorite, but I didn't turn up my nose at vanilla. Â There was just something so comforting, satisfying and delicious about pudding snacks that has

Turtle Seven Layer Bars
Turtles are easily the most underrated candy ever.
Like, for the longest time I thought turtles were those candies only grandmas liked, along with those horrid strawberry hard candies or butterscotch discs that collect lint at the bottom of their purses.
But then I realized turtles are actually awesome and have no place at the bottom of an old lady purse next to those

The BEST Chewy Pumpkin Chip Cookies
Can you believe there was a time when I disliked pumpkin?
I know. It's like I was abducted by aliens or under some terrible influence of pumpkin-hating hallucinogens or something. Thank goodness I found my way down the appropriate pumpkin-loving path because had I not, I would have never discovered the joy that are these cookies.
A couple weeks ago, a reader named Holly

The BEST Banana Bread
Bananas are one of those love-it-or-hate-it fruits, and I happen to love it.
However.. I only like bananas if they're a certain texture and ripeness.
Those bananas that are just a little too spotty and are softer are no bueno. Â They make the mashiest noises when you eat them, and those mashy noises are basically the fruit-eating version of nails on a chalkboard. Â But
