Chocolate Peanut Butter Truffles

December 14, 2012

I found the recipe for these Chocolate Peanut Butter Truffles at Six Sisters Stuff (Chubby Hubby Truffles) and I knew I had to try it. No recipe modifications were made here. Chocolate Peanut Butter – Need I say more? I just took a bite so I could take a picture (featured image) and I literally died and went to heaven. These are really sweet, and soooooo good. The chocolate peanut butter combination won…

Shrimp Spring Rolls

December 12, 2012

Every family gathering is not a family gathering unless my aunt Helen brings her delicious egg rolls – a recipe that I have unsuccessfully been able to get out of her… Regardless, these egg rolls bring smiles to everyone who sees them. I thought I should try to find a recipe that switches up this family favorite. Enter the shrimp spring roll. These do take up a good amount of…

Winter White Sangria

December 10, 2012

Note: If you’re going to make this sangria, make it 4-24 hours in advance to let the fruit marinate. The longer the better 🙂 I needed a sangria recipe for the holidays, and I wanted to try something a little different. The Fall Sangria is delicious. It’s full, has body, is sweet, won over our friends, but was not a hit with the older adults in my family. I made this sangria…

Toffee Shortbread Cookies

December 6, 2012

Sweets! Much like the salted caramel donuts, these delicious toffee shortbread cookies offer a sweet and salty flavor to any party setting. I thought these were very easy to make. Believe it or not, the caramel topping was harder to make than the shortbread. A coworker gave me the recipe for these cookies; after reading it, I knew I had to make these Toffee Shortbread Cookies! Most of this time…

Orange Stuff

December 3, 2012

It’s not a family gathering unless Auntie Jean brings her famous Orange Stuff. I had to beg and plea with her in order to get her to share the secret recipe. Usually, we ge this twice a year, more if we’re lucky. Thanksgiving and Christmas – this year, it made an appearance at my Dad’s 50th Birthday. Once the orange stuff is presented at the table, it’s only custom, among…

Pumpkin Cream Cheese Truffles

September 27, 2012

Tuesday night, I may have screwed up a really good recipe for these Pumpkin Cream Cheese Truffles, and may might have become very angry with the dessert gods – I needed to cool off and try it again. I redeemed myself last night by hashing out the recipe once more by switching some things up, and yes, reading the directions a bit more carefully. NOTE: my cross outs below are…

Lofthouse Cookies

August 10, 2012

Lofthouse cookie. You probably have not heard of them, but you definitely have had them before. I like to call them the Walmart or Stop and Shop cookies. The sugar cookies with the frosting in the packages of 12. Yeah, those cookies. I was talking about these at work the other day, and it inspired me to make them. So that’s what I did. Let me just say that they…
