Confession: Box brownies are where it’s at. Why mess with perfection? Especially when someone has already done all of the hard work FOR YOU? Brownies are finicky enough with their bake time, so I take the low road and rely on the old standby: the box brownie. If you wanted to know, this recipe is…

Red Velvet Cheesecake Cake
This post is going to involve lots of confessions. Cue Usher. Now we’re ready. Confession #1: When I make recipes, I don’t *usually* test them. I get an idea and make it happen. Yes, this could lead to a flaws in my recipes here and there, but (a) I am not a professional, (b) remaking…
Chocolate Chip Cookie Cups with Whipped Salted Caramel Frosting!
IT’S SPRING BREAK! Except Memphis decided to be awesome and bring back winter for a week. It’s all 20s, 30s, 40s, and rain here. Yuck. But I’ve got a “new” cookie recipe for you. It’s inspired by Sally and Tieghan. I took some from here and some from there, and BOOM! new chocolate chip cookie…
#NoBanNoWall Cupcakes
So I’ve been pretty quiet up in here on the political scene, and that’s not without cause. (Disclaimer: When I speak up on something, I want to be 100% sure I know what the heck I’m talking about and 100% sure that I support it.) In the past few weeks, though, it’s painfully obvious how…

Heyyyyy 2017. I’m sorry I’m a few days late, but hey, I got a snow day. Snow days=my favorites. Spoiler alert: They’re not my favorite because I love to play in the snow or sleep until 1 PM or watch movies all day long. They’re my favorite because I can get a lot done. I’m…
Mexican Double Chocolate Cookies
When I was growing up, my Mom and I would be cooking or baking, and without much warning, we’d jab spoons of (insert whatever we were making) and say, “Try this!” Sometimes we paused to ask what it was, and sometimes we just went ahead and opened our mouths. Fast forward to how this has…
Cookie Dough Chocolate Cake: 2 Ways!
I like to have options. I like to be picky and get what I feel like, not be constrained to one thing. If I was a kid who had to wear a uniform to school, it would have been a rough K-12 life. Says the girl who ALWAYS picks her clothes out for work the…
Samoa Cupcakes
It’s Girl Scout cookie season! A.k.a. so many reasons to indulge in Girl Scout cookies and trash up other baked goods to mimic them! Honestly, this recipe was born out of a necessity to use up some of my Caramel & Coconut Coffee Creamer. I bought it and had high expectations that were not met…
Double-Baked Molten Lava Cake
Some people jump out of airplanes to get their adrenaline rushes. Others run marathons. Me? I get my adrenaline from crazy recipes like this one. I tell you, it’s not for the faint of heart, but oh it is worth it. It all started when I was trying to plan a Valentine’s Day dinner for…
Rolo + Reese’s Cookies
Move over, milk. Coffee is hot on your trail. And look out, chocolate chip stand-bys. There’s a new girl in town. It’s been a little while since my last post. Excuses include a new semester at school, lack of inspiration, feeling inferior to pro food bloggers, a few kitchen fails, extra time , etc. But my hubby‘s recent…
