If there is one dessert I cannot turn away, it is an apple flavored dessert. Yep, whether it actually has apples, is a fake with just some apple extract (is that a thing?) or just has apple juice, I am a sucker for all things apple (especially with vanilla ice cream over the top!).  I mean, just ask my waist.

It will definitely tell how much apple desserts I actually eat.  Well, the goodness of apple desserts is something I like to make at home because if not I will spend a fortune at the supermarket keeping my apple sweets stocked.

This past week was a teacher planning day at school, so my granddaughter Alexa came over to spend the night.  I had promised her we would make an apple cake because I know she likes apples as much as I do.  She was thrilled at the idea so she gladly came and was excited for the following morning so we could make the cake.

Well, we were so excited, we decided to make it that night to eat a slice while watching Eloise at The Plaza.  Oh goodness, gracious, thank God I had Alexa to share this with or I would have eaten the whole thing by myself.  It was so good, I now cannot get enough!

Basic buttermints recipe got me like, “woah”.

As a little girl, I can remember my great grandma always having crystal candy dishes in almost every room that contained buttermints. My siblings and I would eat them by the handful and my mom would get so mad at us! Grandma would just smile and refill the candy dish with more buttermints. LOL! Grandma’s are so awesome, aren’t they? Anyway, I found a delicious recipe for homemade buttermints on one of ym favorite food blogs. I really think you are going to like this recipe as it only contains five ingredients!

I am beyond excited that I found this recipe over on the Making Memories With Your Kids website. Homemade buttermitns are my new go-to candy.

Oatmeal and Rolo candy go together like Forrest and Jenny.

Wow. I can’t even begin to tell you how awesome these oatmeal Rolo cookie bars are. Talk about a wholesome comforting treat during the dreary days of winter. I know that I shouldn’t be using food to comfort myself but winter in January in the Northeast is so blah! The sky is always gray, the air is cold, and all I wanna do is curl up on the couch with desserts and Netflix. Erin, from the fabulous food blog known as “Making Memories With Your Kids” shared a wonderful recipe with us for oatmeal Rolo bars. Yum!

I am beyond excited that I found this recipe over on the Making Memories With Your Kids website. These dessert bars are what heaven tastes like. I’m convinced!

If You Love Lemon, These Luscious Layers Will Sweep You Off Your Feet!

I was walking down the street last week, in the freezing cold wind, desperately hoping I could live somewhere else during the winter months. It’s not like I’m new to snow and ice – I’ve lived here all my life, but I just can’t seem to get used to it. I would happily move to Florida or pretty much any place where you can wear T-shirts and flip flops all year long.

To make myself feel better I decided to make the most summery dessert I could think of! Lemon delight is something we always had in the summer when I was little, although there’s no reason why it should only be considered a summer dish.

I found an awesome recipe on Crouton Crackerjacks and I thought it looked super easy, so I gave it a try. It wasn’t just easy – it was also way too yummy and I probably would have eaten half of it on my own, but my family made me share! You should go check out all of their recipes, they’ve got some really good ones!

Everyone I Know Is Crazy About This Fantastic Cake!

The older I get, the faster the years seem to fly by. It’s hard to believe we only have a couple of days of this year left – even though it seems like it was just a couple of months ago that I was shouting “Happy New Year!” It seems, when you’re young, you can’t wait to grow up as fast as possible. And when you’re getting old, you wish you could go back to being a kid again. Haha!

When it comes to New Year’s resolutions, I’ve decided not to waste a moment of my life anymore. What that means to me is that I will try and spend my time doing what I think is important, instead of spending those precious hours and days on things that don’t matter to me.

Ok, well maybe baking cakes isn’t that big of an issue for me but I still don’t want to spend too much time making them. That’s why I love recipes like this one from TheCulinarycorner! Very basic ingredients, very little preparation, yet a very awesome result!
