I'm kinda sorta bummed that my town doesn't have a bakery. Anytime I travel, I immediately google the current city I'm in + bakery so I can check out where the locals eat, and of course, where I can get some desserts. You know, for research. #alltheresearch But my town doesn't have anything like that. We have a single cupcake shop, but the cupcakes are pricey and they play too

Fudgy Frosted Brownies
A couple days ago, my family and I were all sitting in the living room watching TV when we heard this really loud music creeping closer and closer to the house. We paused our TV show and looked around at each other confusedly, only to see a random man on a motorcycle pull into my neighbor's driveway blasting Beach Boys. Seriously. Riding a freakin' Harley and blasting - and I

Copycat S’mores Frappuccino
I have been on such a frappuccino kick lately. Like, it's getting ridiculous (and expensive). But I am such a marketer's dream come true and will buy any new flavored frappe available. Birthday cake? Had to try... and recreated it HERE. Java Chip? An old favorite. Caramel Coconut - remember that one? Deliciousness. And s'mores? Done for. I live for s'mores flavored anything.

Donut Tiramisu
You guys. This tiramisu is out of control in the best way possible. I mean, instead of boring old ladyfingers, I made it with yeasty, maple-y donuts. WHAT COULD BE BETTER? (The answer: another slice. Because I'm woefully lacking it right now). This idea came at me in a couple of different directions. First, I knew I wanted to make tiramisu because I just got this brand spankin'

No-Bake Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs
A couple days ago, my dad wanted me to make some more of my Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs but it was creeping on 100 degrees outside and I was not about to turn on that oven. But then it hit me: I could totally make no-bake bombs with a couple of simple ingredient swaps. And thus, these No-Bake Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs were born. The secret?

No-Bake Margarita Cheesecake Pie
Happy Monday, you guys! This Margarita Cheesecake Pie is to-die for. For reals. Cinco de Mayo is tomorrow and I figured I was better late than never with this recipe. I knew that after trying my No-Bake Pink Lemonade Cheesecake Pie that I had to make a margarita version and here it is. Creamy, luscious, sweet and tart and just packed with a margarita punch. And non-drinkers,

Strawberries & Cream Sheet Cake
Today, I'm super excited to bring you this Strawberries & Cream Sheet Cake! Not only is it a delicious cake bursting with strawberry flavor and a creamy whipped topping, it's also pink for breast cancer awareness, just in time for Mother's Day. I've teamed up with KitchenAid and their Cook For The Cure program, which since partnering with Susan G. Komen 14 years ago, has

Churro Cupcakes
So as I'm writing this, I'm on hold for the IRS. I guess they get angry with you if you neglect to select a payment plan before April 15. In my defense, their online portal doesn't work and calling them means shaving off four hours of waiting time off of my life, so I didn't do either. I figure, if they want their money, they'll call me, right? Well. Not really. They just send

Nutty Buddy Popcorn
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #PopIntoSAMS #CollectiveBias I love popcorn. It's one of those treats that the second the aroma hits your nose, you instantly crave it. Or is that just me with all the foods? Don't answer that. I mean, you can't go to a movie theater and walk past the popcorn, even if it is

They have a fabulous key lime filling and a thick, luscious key lime pie frosting that's garnished with little sprinkles of honey graham crackers. Talk about the ultimate Key Lime Pie! Or
