I love this Chocolate Party theme (buttermilk and chocolate). I adore tangy, rich buttermilk and the flavor and texture it brings to baked goods. There are many great chocolate cakes made with buttermilk, but I wanted to really be able to taste the buttermilk, so I chose this crumb cake, studded with miniature chocolate chips. Neither the…
Pumpkin Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting
Happy Thanksgiving! I had not originally planned to share these cupcakes. I was not super enthused about making them, is the honest truth. But Sammy had requested pumpkin cupcakes for her birthday celebration at school, so, being a good mother who only forces dessert choices on her kids for about half of their birthday celebrations,…
Triple Chocolate Pancakes with Hot Chocolate Sauce & Whipped Cream
For Sammy’s family birthday meal, when John and I gave her our presents, she requested breakfast for dinner. Although I love breakfast for dinner, it left me with a dilemma. I don’t usually serve dessert when we have breakfast for dinner, because we love breakfast dishes like pancakes, waffles and French toast. in other words,…
Blueberry Streusel Coffee Cake
Like many people, we tend to get into ruts where breakfast is concerned. This problem is even worse for non-morning people, like myself, because we are not going to get up earlier–even by 10 minutes–to add cooking time to our morning routine.

Pink Peppercorn Vanilla Bundt Cake
I love all cake and especially bundt pans. Representatives ones, abstract or pattern-based ones, traditional ones.
Bake And Decorate: Family Chocolate Cake
In case you haven’t noticed, I love cookbooks. So when I looked around the web and saw bloggers receiving free cookbooks to review, I thought hey I can do that! So I contacted Rodale Books and asked them if they had any cookbooks coming out they’d like reviewed and they said yes. And sent me…
Dulce De Leche Pound Cake
Dulce de Leche Pound Cake is a delicious way to enjoy the rich and indulgent flavor of milk caramel. Pictures of the whole cake were updated in November 2017. Much like exercise, there is a rhythmic routine to cooking dinner for your family. Unlike baking, which I do to relax at my own convenience, dinner…
Best Waffles Ever, A.K.A. Classic Buttermilk Waffles
I bet you all thought my new waffle iron was gathering dust. Admit it, you did. That I had purchased a unitasker of the worst kind and after having played with it for a while, it was now sitting lonely and neglected somewhere. Not so fast, my friend! (Any Lee Corso fans in the house?)…
