Cream cheese cornflake cookies make the perfect early morning breakfast when you’re on the go.

You always fail at one point. But that’s the secret—you always learn from your mistakes. After failing, you slowly try to perfect the actions until you can do it even with your eyes closed. That’s how life is, isn’t it? You fail, you stand up, and you do it again.

Sometimes, we even fail for a number of times that we start to lose hope. But never worry. Life is a continuous cycle. There will always be downs, but there will also be ups. We just have to be patient.

So what’s with all the life teachings? Nothing really. It’s just that when I saw this recipe and read how it came to be, I was a bit touched and then amused. Touched because of my best friend, who owns this recipe, had a few realizations about life and mistakes that she told me about. Amused because it was a bit funny how her simple mistake turned out to be a really good one.

Her husband and her kids all loved the recipe she thought was a failure! And they seemed to even have gotten addicted to it. Check out this recipe and find out what’s so addicting about these cream cheese cornflake cookies.

The end of the school year was upon us, and I was about to have my house overrun with kids again for the next few months.

With four children of my own and each of them having friends, it doesn’t take long for the house to fill up. After they have been outside playing hard, they are hungry too, so my cupboards and refrigerator get completely cleaned out all the time. It seems like I have to go to the grocery store just about every single day to keep food in the house.

So, one day, instead of letting them snack all day long, I decided that I was going to make a special treat for them to have. I made these fruity pastries that I found on Facebook, and I couldn’t believe how simple they were.

Of, course I made a double batch, but they were still cooked up in no time. I gave them to the kids outside so they didn’t even have to come in. All my cupboards stayed closed and I didn’t have to go grocery shopping the next day!

Add These Layers of AWESOME Into a Serving Dish For a Dessert To Die For

I do not know how it’s even possible but, I had completely forgotten about this incredible dessert recipe for a couple of years. I remember the first time I came across this one on Daily Waffle – it was such an Ah-Ha moment for me. I had always enjoyed savory, layered dips but it hadn’t occurred to me that I could create a dessert the same way. I know. Sometimes my brain runs a little slow.

I’ve made this dessert dip for many occasions and now that I found it again, I am most definitely making it over the holidays. You won’t find an easier way to whip up a mind-blowing dessert for your whole family!

Even if everyone is coming over, you can always fill two or even three dishes with these scrumptious layers. There will be plenty of dip – but you’ll still probably end up with no leftovers!

It’s also very easy to tweak the flavors a little bit. We have a cousin who’s very allergic to strawberries, so I’m thinking of making two dishes this year – one with strawberries and one with raspberries.

The other day I sat back and thought of the reasons I love Fall, and not just because it’s a heat index of 110° down south!

One of them was pumpkin flavors. I love it in my coffee and especially in my desserts. I thought, why not make a pumpkin treat today? So I picked up a can of pumpkin and the rest of the ingredients for this amazing looking Pumpkin Cheese Coffee Cake.The moment I smelled it baking I knew I’d made a smart decision. I’m not one to limit my food choices to the season. I like to live it up on a whim! Join me in trying this amazing coffee cake that has the perfect balance of cream cheese topping cut through the batter and baked right in, delish!

When it comes to fall desserts you can never have too many. I love pumpkin pie but I find that dessert to get boring and repetitive, especially during the Thanksgiving season. So, coming across recipes like this pumpkin cream cheese coffee cake is pretty awesome!

It’s The Perfect Combination Of Flavors That Will Knock Your Socks Off

I have always loved red velvet cake and peppermint desserts. I also enjoy brownies like, a lot. So, as you can imagine, these red velvet brownies with peppermint frosting are right up my alley.

I mean, man oh man, does this dessert ever make my skirt fly up! It is delicious! I love sprinkling on the little peppermint candies as a garnish at the end. They make these brownies look super pretty. I would definitely set these on the table as a centerpiece while dinner is being served. They’re just too elegant to be hidden away in the kitchen.

You’ll be so proud of yourself for making such a lovely Christmas dessert . Just wait until you see how impressed your dinner guests are. Don’t be surprised if you are asked if these brownies came from a bakery to which you can proudly exclaim, “Yep! It’s called the my-own-kitchen bakery.”

Quick tip: Try adding chopped nuts, white or dark chocolate chips, some shredded coconut… it’s up to you!

I don’t know about you, my dear ladies and gentlemen, but when spring and summer get closer I always tend to look for recipes with fresh and tropical flavors.

Maybe it’s because I am so bored of the winter already, that I want to do everything in my power to get to the sunny days as fast as possible! I look for these flavors in every recipe, whether it’s an entree, a side dish or a dessert. And cakes are definitely no exception! The other day I came across this delicious looking cake recipe and I knew I just had to give it a try right away.

It certainly didn’t disappoint! This super moist and dense cake is supremely decadent – the toasted coconut compliments it well. The cream cheese frosting is sweet enough but not too sweet and brings a great balance to this dessert.

I could eat a whole one – and who says I haven’t..! We’d love to hear how many pieces of this delicious cake you had at once unless you’re afraid to admit you had more than one!
