I have been searching for years for a good chocolate chip cookie recipe friends. No seriously, it is my baking nemesis check out my previous post on this very topic: chocolate cookie recipe fail. I’ve tried so many recipes it’s embarrassing. Each one just isn’t very good. I finally have a recipe that has succeeded several times! It has taken much trial and error but I finally am proud to say I have an amazing chocolate chip cookie recipe and love them so much they don’t last more than a day or two around here!

Pumpkin Pie in a Mug

Football is back, mornings have a chill in the air, coffee houses have their pumpkin and spice drinks out, and I’m craving pumpkin 🙂 Yes I know fall doesn’t officially begin until September 22. That isn’t putting a damper on my excitement for the upcoming season though! Sometimes I want pumpkin dessert but don’t feel like putting the time into a full pie or pumpkin roll. That is why I created pumpkin pie in a mug! Simple, fast and oh does it hit the spot when I’m craving a pumpkin spicy dessert 🙂 Continue reading “Pumpkin Pie in a Mug” →

Gluten Free Chocolate Peanut Butter Buckeye Cake

crazyblessedlife

Growing up one of my favorite things my mom made was buckeyes. They are yummy balls of peanut butter dipped in chocolate. Yep, if I had to name one major food weakness (after bread) it is definitely chocolate peanut butter anything! I also have a dear friend who recently had to go gluten free. This girl is super sweet and any time we have food at church (um, weekly y’all) she watches everyone eat dessert and never complains! So this cake was born as a way to make sure my friend has a dessert option 🙂

Snickerdoodle Pie

One of my all time favorite pies is buttermilk pie. Some people call them chess pies and I think there is cornmeal in the chess pie making it slightly different. Recently I had this idea, what if I make a buttermilk pie into a snickerdoodle pie?! I love buttermilk pie and I love snickerdoodles… I didn’t have to try too hard to convince myself to attempt it 🙂

Tractors and Flowers

crazyblessedlife

Last weekend I had the privilege to make cakes for a wedding. I always feel honored to be asked to do cakes, but this one was extra special. The groom was in our youth group for a few years, graduated high school, went to college and then called my husband up last year asking him to perform his wedding. It meant a lot to my husband to officiate the wedding and a lot to me to make their wedding cake and groom’s cake. The family treats us like family and it was a beautiful union of a young man we’ve watched grow up and his lovely bride. I will share the cakes another day but today I am sharing another secret project I was working on. Three of the grandparents had birthdays near the wedding date, so to honor those grandparents at the rehearsal dinner the mother of the groom asked me to make some specialty cookies.
