Zombie Cookies

Zombie Cookies

Clearly a “nailed it” post. These were so cute. We saw a post on Not Quite Nigella for Voodoo Doll cookies and thought they were adorable. We used a sugar cookie mix to make these little Zombie cookies. Fatima did a great job with the decorations and improvised when we lost a few limbs. We had a few mummy cookies, mostly zombies, and human victims. When one of the cookies lost…

Colleen’s Banana Bread

Banana Bread

My sister made some delicious banana bread at Christmas last year, and again about a month ago. Last week, some of our bananas didn’t make it though the heat wave here in the city, so Fatima thought we should make some banana bread. So I called my sister and requested her recipe. Banana bread is a great way to use your bananas that may have browned too much. Rather than…

Cookie Dough Cupcakes

Cookie Dough Cupcakes

I’m not sure if Cookie Monster would react like this, but it’s a reaction I’d hope to get if he saw these Cookie Dough Cupcakes. As you’ve read on many posts before, I love cookie dough. I think I might like it more than the actual cookie. Yes, consuming raw cookie dough is not advised. However, I think everyone should try their cookie dough before baking cookies. If you like…

Super Bowl Cupcakes

It’s never too late to post something, right? It’s been really busy in the Marquis-Sow household. Fatima’s been swamped with work, going about 7 days a week straight, coming back at midnight, and I’ve been swamped with my accounting class. Figures, right? The semester where I’m taking accounting, Fatima is in the trenches of busy season. For throwback Thursday, I’m going to discuss our Super Bowl cupcakes. For Super Bowl,…

Apple Crisp Cheesecake

February 11, 2014

Close your eyes and think of a time when you were outside during the peak of fall. If you can think of a time when you were in the northeast (dare I say New England?) then you’ll be more in tune to what I’m describing. Feel the crisp autumn air around you, listen to the ruffling of the leaves scraping the road as they tumble away, and the smell of…

Stephanie and I make it our daily lunch tradition to grab a snickers from the little corner shop before heading back to the real world. And if you love snickers too, you’ll love these snickers brownie bites, too. Head…

Witch Brooms

Need some last minute Halloween ideas?  I saw this cute idea on Pinterest and made them for my Halloween party.  If you want to make some edible, tasty witch brooms, take pretzel sticks and insert them into upside-down mini Reese’s peanut butter cups.  These will fly right off the plate. For our cupcakes, we placed creepy eyes and ears on top of these delicious red velvet cupcakes. And if you…
