I'm more of a pie person than a cake person. I had a pie bar at my wedding instead of a traditional wedding cake. I'll reach for the pie at a party before I'll reach for a cake. Pie is just a better dessert option in my opinion. Of all the pies in the world,… Continue reading Dutch Apple Cake

Pumpkin Scones with Vanilla Icing
It's hard to believe that Americans obsession with pumpkin spice is realitvely new. 20 years ago, pumpkin spice lattes and pumpkin-flavored candy weren't as big of sellers as they are now. The pumpkin-spice-everything craze did not really start until Starbucks started promoting it excessively a few years ago. What is the reason behind our obsession… Continue reading Pumpkin Scones with Vanilla Icing
Brownie Pie
September means the start of pie season. I guess you could have pie anytime you want, but don't you normally eat a bunch of pie in the fall/holiday months? I love a good pumpkin pie (the marshmallow pumpkin pie I made last year is AMAZING) and pecan pie also has a special place in my… Continue reading Brownie Pie
Banana Blueberry Smoothie Bowl
Smoothie bowls were all the rage a few years ago. It's like somebody somewhere had a bright idea of just pouring a smoothie into a bowl, adding toppings, and upcharging the heck out of it. It was brilliant, really. It makes smoothies look a little more appetizing and much more photogenic. The #foodie culture ate… Continue reading Banana Blueberry Smoothie Bowl

We FINALLY had a warranty-approved repair man come out and look at it and he said… Continue reading Slow Cooker Blueberry Cobbler

I'm a little late to the spring party, and I think Oklahoma is, too. It's been 30-40 degrees the past few nights. I haven't managed to venture outside in 2-3 days since my allergies have been going haywire. I'm missing the little blossoms on the trees, the weeds that are in bloom, and the cheery… Continue reading Marbled Carrot Cake Cheesecake Bars
Frozen Yogurt Blueberry Bites
Every Wednesday our local newspaper has a section dedicated to food. There are local restaurant reviews, what's happening in the food scene, and an old lady that give recipes like "basic bread" and "green bean casserole" that crack me up. They also run a lot of syndicated recipes from bigger papers, and I get a… Continue reading Frozen Yogurt Blueberry Bites
Banana Pudding Bread
Ah, banana pudding. The quintessential Southern dessert of summer. The elitist pudding that takes up its own shrine at the picnic table. The creamy confection that your Aunt brings tubs of to family barbecues. Banana pudding is the ultimate summer fare. It's so refreshing to dip your spoon in the banana-Nilla wafer-whipped cream concoction after… Continue reading Banana Pudding Bread
