Super Easy Brookies
Everyone loves brownies and cookies, but why not have both in one Super Easy Brookie?! With a chewy, buttery chocolate chip cookie on the bottom and a fudgy brownie on top, it's the best of both worlds in one unique bar!
I can't believe I don't really have brookie recipes on my blog!
Once I realized this unfortunate news, I knew I had to fix it ASAP... because brookies

Easy Homemade Microwave Lemon Curd
I'm going back to the basics with this recipe, people.
As I'm getting older (and I know everyone is now collectively rolling their eyes whenever a 25-year old says they're getting older), I'm finding that I'm starting to feel like I'm becoming who I'm supposed to be. I know that sounds like a terrible Taylor Swift song or a tampon commercial, but truly, I'm becoming my own

Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake Bars
You guys. I can't even with these bars!
So lately I've been on a cinnamon roll kick. This is probably because I never make cinnamon rolls because when I do, I promptly make it a one-woman race to see how many I can eat in a single sitting. Not surprisingly, I always win. Also not surprisingly, all the cinnamon rolls are gone.
In my head, I've been plotting and planning

Classic, All Butter Peanut Butter Blossoms
Everyone and their mother knows about these cookies.
The ever classic peanut butter blossom.
And I'm here with a wonderful rendition of this family favorite!
You see, on my quest to create the perfect - or perfect in my eyes - peanut butter blossom, I realized most recipes had shortening in them. I happen to dislike shortening for the texture it gives baked goods, so I

The Best Banana Cake with Banana Frosting
I have always loved grocery shopping. Mostly because our local supermarket gave kids free cookies in the bakery if you asked politely. They were sprinkle sugar cookies, and they were amazing because they were free, smothered in sprinkles, and because you didn't need your parents permission to eat a giant sugar cookie before dinner. (However, in later years I would try this as a

Red Velvet Dessert Dip
I'm someone who is always hungry. Â Just ate a huge meal? Â Still hungry. Â Just had lunch? Â Still hungry. Â Finished dessert? Â Yep, still hungry. Â And fortunately, my hunger is usually taken care of since we always have food in the house.
But my reality isn't everyone else's. Â In fact, in 2012 there were 17.6 million households that were food-insecure -- meaning, they didn't

Funfetti Banana Bread {Funfetti Week!!}
Really, at this point I'm using any excuse I can get my greedy hands on to eat sprinkles for breakfast.
But I guarantee if you have picky eaters at home, this is one easy way to trick them into eating fruit.  Okay, so banana bread isn't a fruit -- you guys are so technical -- but it is a sneaky way to get them to eat a fruit product.  And let's all agree that Funfetti Banana

Funfetti Gooey S’mores Bars {Funfetti Week!}
I can't remember when or for what, but awhile ago I was looking at a feature that was written up about Funfetti goodies, and a couple of my recipes were featured. Â I made the mistake of scrolling to the comments section.
Most of the comments featured your standard "looks like a bunch of di-uh-bee-tus" or "mm!", but then there was one that particularly haunted my soul to the

Nutella-Filled Monster Cookie Bars
Were you ever scared of monsters under your bed or hiding in your closet?
I was, but I was weirdly scared more of human monsters lurking around.  I was, and always have been paranoid about someone trying to kill me for some reason.  Maybe it was all of the Forensic Files I was exposed to as a child.
It was as if the second I heard Peter Thomas' iconic voice, I knew some
