Witch Brooms and Easy Halloween Food

October 30, 2013

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…

Pumpkin Bread

September 23, 2013

What’s fall without pumpkin bread? Seriously – if you don’t like pumpkin, sorry, but what is wrong with you? If you’re not from New England, and you don’t like pumpkin, then you get a free pass. I could literally eat pumpkin bread every day of the year, but I somehow hold off until the fall. When I was in college, I looked forward from that finals week care package, filled…

Cookies and Cream Cupcakes

September 13, 2013

Happy birthday to Fatima! Last year, I made Fatima a cookies and cream cake. She loves anything cookies and cream – especially those Hershey’s cookies and cream bars. I’m not a fan, but that’s one of the only sweets she’ll eat. This year, to pair with my peanut butter cup cupcakes, I made her some cookies and cream cupcakes. I used a butter golden cake mix, a can of vanilla…

Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

July 31, 2013

Remember that time we made chocolate chip cookies using a Pinterest tip telling us adding cornstarch would make them fluffy? Yes, it was an epic fail. However, on our second time around visiting the cornstarch theory, we’ve hit the jackpot. These are some delicious and chewy chocolate chip cookies I have ever had. These will ruin you; you’ll never want to make them any other way ever again. Think Mrs.…

Happy National Ice Cream Day

July 21, 2013

One of my favorite ice cream places is in Center Harbor, NH. Dewey’s Ice Cream Parlor is right up the rock from the public docks and offers exceptional homemade ice cream. Another one of my favorite places is Bailey’s Bubble in Wolfeboro, NH. I eat their ice cream way too fast, they have amahhhzing ice cream – probably one of the best on Lake Winnipesaukee. A personal favorite of mine…

Corn on the Cob Cupcakes

June 20, 2013

Here’s a fun way to decorate your cupcakes for your summer picnics. Make Corn on the Cob Cupcakes! Haha – no corn involved – just jelly beans. Out of a small bag of mixed jelly beans, there were only enough yellow beans to make one of these cupcakes, so I’m not sure where you can find only yellow jelly beans, but good luck!! We found the corn skewers at Michael’s for…

Strawberry Margarita Cupcakes

June 16, 2013

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

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…

MarquisRita aka Margarita Cupcakes

June 12, 2013

I could have a margarita (in my case a MarquisRita) any day of the week. So yummy. I took that love for MarquisRitas and turned it into a cupcake; MarquisRita aka Margarita Cupcakes! They came out better than expected. The recipe is a simple “1-2-3-4” basic cupcake/cake mix with an addition of tequila and lime. The batter makes a lot of cupcakes, I got about 3 dozen cupcakes. I’d probably cut…

St. Germain Cupcakes

June 4, 2013

Ummm, YUM! I first had St. Germain when my friend Stephanie (check out Pop! Goes My Culture) got me out of the kitchen and onto Governor’s Island in NYC for the Jazz Age Lawn Party. It was magical. I had a cup of the St. Germain Cocktail, and after the first sip, I fell in love. Lucky for me (and for you), I entered a photo of the event in…

Old Fashioned Chocolate Glazed Donuts

March 27, 2013

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 –…

Old Fashioned Red Velvet Donuts

March 26, 2013

Red Velvet? Donuts? Um, yum! These were absolutely delicious. The kind of donut you wait for at brunch after going to church in the morning. Ugghghg…I wish we made more… This past fall, we made some yummy pumpkin donuts. We sort of cut through that recipe and opted in for cake mix instead – it made it so much easier. Experimenting with cake mix is always fun. It’s easy and…
