These Oreo Cookie Dough Brownies are so delicious! They combine everything I love: chocolate chip cookies, brownies, and Oreos. With the summer in full swing, I made this pick-me-up for my coworkers on Friday. So what makes this brownie so…

Ginger Spiced Icebox Cake

December 20, 2017
Ginger Spiced Icebox Cake

Holy cannoli. When Fatima was explaining that she wanted to make an icebox cake, the look on my face was utter confusion. An icebox cake, what is that? Cookies and cool whip. Did I ever mention I don’t like cool whip? She said she wanted to make a ginger spiced icebox cake for the holidays. I said I didn’t like cool whip, right? There’s this amazing Gingerbread Cookie recipe we…

Boston Creme Cupcakes

Yum, yum, yum.  This weekend, we celebrated my dad’s birthday.  Some of his favorite things are Raisinets, the Giants, Despicable Me, trains, and Dunkin’s Boston Kreme donuts.  So I thought I would invite him to a screening of Despicable Me 2, and make some boston creme cupcakes! I should disclose that my company’s parent company, Comcast, owns Universal Pictures.  Any reviews/expressions of the film are that of my own and…

Even though the Twisted Key Lime Pie is made from avocados, it tastes like a key lime pie.  There is an avocado taste, so if you’re like Fatima and hate…

Strawberry Margarita Cupcakes

strawberry margarita cupcakes

An easy take on those delicious MarquisRita cupcakes we featured earlier this week.  Add some booze and fruit to your cupcakes for some delicious and surprisingly refreshing strawberry margarita cupcakes.  We used the same recipe as the MarquisRita cupcakes, and all we added were some chopped strawberries to the batter. As we experimented with the tequila in the batter, we noticed it didn’t really mix into the batter, so as…

Red Velvet Cheesecake

June 14, 2013
Red Velvet Cheesecake

We were so obsessed with Magnolia’s Red Velvet Cheesecake that we wanted to make our own.  Last week we featured a to-die-for Cookie Monster Cheesecake.  We adapted it from this very simple cheesecake recipe.  We made this delicious Red Velvet Cheesecake before making the Cookie Monster one, and learned from our mistakes.  We never used a water bath when we made the red velvet cheesecake, it cracked and dried a…

Old Fashioned Chocolate Glazed Donuts

March 27, 2013
Baked Donuts

Chocoholic?  Yes.  Any chance to make something chocolatey and I’m the first one in line.  The chocolate donuts were so good!  We were going for the chocolate glazed donuts you get from the Dunkin Donuts – the kind that melt in your mouth.  I believe we nailed it. This past fall, we made some yummy pumpkin donuts.  We sort of cut through that recipe and opted in for cake mix –…

chocolate chip cookie dough truffles

Yummy, yummy, yummy, I’ve got edible cookie dough in my tummy.  You know you’re in heaven when you can eat eggless cookie dough.  This Chocolate Cookie Dough Truffle recipe was inspired from a red velvet truffle recipe.  Our weaknesses consist only of a few things: chocolate, cookie dough, and a good dessert that can combine the two. So what happens when you combine everything together?…

Cheesecake Bites

February 13, 2013

We love cheesecake.  Why not take this delicious dessert and make it bite-size?  Very easy to make.  Be sure to give yourself some time to bake and then let sit in the fridge.  We sort of modified our other recipe to make these.  You’ll need a mini muffin tin if you want to make these itty bitty… BTW – this recipe is great for a normal sized cheesecake, too!  Just use…

Pecan Pie

January 14, 2013
Pecan Pie

I’ve never made – let alone tasted – pecan pie.  The first time I tasted pecan pie was last week.  It was delicious!  I was hooked. Side note – this was supposed to be for a bake off at work and I failed to remember the date. Being that it was my first time making this dish, I went a step further and created my own.  Nuts, you say?  Maybe. …

Peppermint Oreo Truffles

December 17, 2012

A while ago, we made some delicious Oreo Truffles.  We took this recipe and added some holiday flair by adding a dash of peppermint extract.  These truffles were soooo good.  Relatively easy to make, these truffles didn’t take up too much time.  It was trying to melt the white chocolate that took up most of my time.  Last time I melted white chocolate, it was no bueno.  Adding in the…
