The month of October seems to be exiting as quickly as it entered. Since autumn is definitely my favorite season here in Ohio, it saddens me to see the gorgeous leaves hitting the ground and the temperature rapidly descending. The month of October is not just about the turning leaves, the warm sweaters, and the …
Last week the Fall season hit me like a brick! All of the sudden I wanted to snuggle up in cardigans, rock my UGG boots and sniff in the delicious scents of cinnamon, pumpkin and crisp apples. While my UGG boots are still buried in the depths of my closet, I have in fact worn …
I stumbled upon a sale on cake mixes two week ago and stocked up on a some, hell they were 78 cents! Although I am not an avid cake mix user, I do have a couple recipes in my repertoire that are “doctored up” versions or regular old boxed mixes. One of these recipes being …
Since it is super close to Valentine’s Day, I thought I would tempt you with a butter laden, ultra sweet treat from the queen of butter, Paula Deen.

I made this for Thanksgiving because my little bro, Jared, does not dig anything pumpkin or pecan, but he loves some cheesecake. This recipe was a first for me, but the thought of a turtle cheesecake sounded delicious to me. …
As mentioned in a previous post, I received walnuts, pecans, and dried cranberries from Oh Nuts last week. The pecans I got were amazing, so I wanted to bake something that truly highlighted their flavor and texture. I have never made pecan pie, so that was my first thought, but I ended up choosing a …
If you come here often, you may notice a little change…my blog has been given a makeover! I found Hannah of Craner Design Studio through the Engineer Baker’s blog. I had been wanting to change my blog for quite some time and loved Hannah’s work, so I enlisted her to design a brand spanking new …
Kugel…what? That is exactly what I said to myself when I spotted this recipe on the TwD site. This was yet another one of Dorie’s desserts that I have never heard of…do I live under a rock or am I lacking the in the area of cultural exploration? Luckily I have google at my at …
This week’s TwD recipe is for one of my favorite desserts…cupcakes. If you frequent my blog, you know I have a thing for those yummy pieces of cake heaven, so I was super excited to try a recipe from Dorie. I had everything on hand to make these cupcakes, which is quite a change of …
Well, it’s Tuesday, so I am sure you stopped by my blog looking for a delicious Caramel-Peanut-Topped Brownie Cake…I have made this recipe before and although it was quite tasty, I was not in the mood to make it again. In fact the Caramel-Peanut-Topped Brownie Cake was my very first blog post! Instead, I stayed …
