Caramel Toffee Crunch Cheesecake

You will love this Caramel Toffee Crunch Cheesecake! The homemade caramel is so easy and the chocolate covered crust is outrageous!

 So, I have a problem.

I feel like half of my posts start like that. I guess I have a lot of problems.

But this particular problem occurs when I'm starving for dinner and it's still like TEN MINUTES away. What is a girl supposed to do?

White Chocolate Mousse Truffle Cake

There are two types of days: there are regular days and there are crazed, ravenously ferocious, stressful, chocolate emergency days.

Guess which kind today was.

It all started out when Nemo announced that we would be having Grandma and Grandpa over for dinner. That part was pretty good though. Especially because it meant I could make you a dessert.

After about a five hour brain fart during which I scoured the cupboards for inspiration that wasn't there, I finally decided to fall back on my good old flourless chocolate cake. Because I wanted it.

I needed it.

Auntie Anne's Pretzels: Copycat Recipe

These smell and taste just like your favorite mall pretzels! You might need to double this recipe! Complete with delicious cheddar cheese dipping sauce. 

Is there ANYTHING better than the smell of Auntie Anne's pretzels wafting through the mall? 

 

Yes, one thing: the taste of them in your belly. 

 

Even though I rarely ever shop at the mall anymore, it's worth a trip just for these bad boys.  

PB&J Cookies

 So last weekend we went up to The Ranch. It was a grand old time as usual. That probably goes without saying considering the fact that I brought funfetti whoopie pies.

Funfetti Whoopie Pies

 

Soft sugar cookies sandwiched together with fluffy buttercream! These have the flavor of birthday cake batter!

 

 

 I'm the kind of person who hates making decisions. I know, you're really super surprised cause I'm such a control-freak. You would think it would be hard to be controlling if you don't even know what the heck you want. But you would be wrong.

Smothered Skillet Chicken

 Yesterday I woke up with a sore throat, and the first thought that popped into my head was REESE'S EGGS. They were also the second thing that popped into my head. And the third. Well, it was pretty much the only thought that really entered my skull yesterday. What can I say? Peanut butter is the best thing for sore throats. It was nothing more than divine providence that I acquired such a ginormous stash over the weekend.

Marshmallow Flower Cupcakes

Guess what, my friends. Easter is in TWO DAYS. Are you feeling unprepared? Are you feeling lame and boring? Do you want to make your guests think that you've been slaving away in the kitchen for weeks preparing elaborate confections for them that are almost too beautiful to eat?

Chocolate Caramel Cream Puffs

You guys probably always imagine me sitting around coating my teeth in gobs of frosting all day and gnawing on slabs of toffee. You probably think I work for some kind of fabulous bakery where they condone such conduct.

Well, I'm sorry to tell you, you're wrong.

In fact, I work at a dentist's office, of all places. And to make it worse, this dentist happens to be my father.

Spaghetti Sauce 5 ways

Yesterday morning I woke up thinking, "Oh, what a wonderfully normal day it is today! I'm sure it will be filled with honesty and truthfulness."

Oh how wrong I was.
