That Topping Is Out Of This World!

I love breakfast time. I didn’t use to be a morning person at all, so it was really hard for me to get out of bed early, let alone eat something at that hour.

I don’t know if it’s because I’ve gotten older, or if my “inner clock” has somehow fixed itself over the years, but now I really enjoy early mornings and tasty breakfast dishes. And, of course, I can’t start my day without a nice cup of dark roast coffee!

Whatever I’m having for breakfast, there’s gotta be coffee. And when there’s coffee, I really love a little sweet treat to go with it. Sometimes it is hard to come by as I do not always stock up on donuts or cake since I will just spend the whole day eating that. But, every now and then I find a recipe that I am able to make over the weekend and enjoy a little bit every morning with breakfast.

This coffee cake is one of my favorites, and even though it has some classic fall flavors, I wouldn’t mind eating this year ’round!

I Call This The OMG Fudge!

To be honest with you, this is actually called Snickers fudge but I prefer using “OMG fudge”. I can’t take credit for the name – I simply came up with it because everyone I’ve ever served this to has always said the same thing; “Oh my gosh!” This fudge is so unbelievably, mouth-watering, to-die-for delicious that it’s hard to describe it without sounding a little crazy. In a way, I guess this does make you a little nuts. You’ll understand when you sink your teeth into this.

Another awesome thing about this yummy recipe from Cooking Mamas is that it’s ridiculously easy to make. No candy thermometers involved, and you mostly just need to stir a few things together. There are only 7 ingredients so it’s definitely not rocket science.

Without a doubt, the hardest part about making this Snickers fudge is waiting for it to chill in the refrigerator until you can cut it to pieces. Now, that is another OMG moment! I’m pretty sure I could just eat the mixture with a spoon and it would still be delicious!

Rumor Says This Cake Will Make You Slap Your Mama!

Tell me, when was the last time you had a slice of cake that made you think it was created by the dessert gods? You know the feeling; when you have a bite of something and it’s as if your taste buds just started playing a wonderful symphony.

This simple lemon loaf cake made me feel that way, and it took me by surprise. You know, because it doesn’t necessarily look like it’s the most delightful cake in the universe – but it sure tastes like it! I think it’s the freshly grated lemon zest that makes this super flavorful; or maybe it’s the cream.

I really don’t care what it is – all I care about is stuffing my face with as many pieces of this as I possibly can! You can, of course, add your favorite frosting or glaze, but this cake doesn’t necessarily need either of those. A dollop of whipped cream on top of a slice is enough to make your eyes roll to the back of your head! Serve this for dessert, Sunday breakfast or just an amazing pick-me-up after work.

Quick Tip: How about a blueberry lemon cake? Add 1/2 – 1 cup of blueberries into the batter.

This Spinach And Cheese Bake Is Far From Ordinary!

If you’re looking for a great, easy-to-make casserole, you’ve come to the right place. This spinach bake, filled with ooey-gooey cheese is going to give your taste buds a ride they’ll never forget!

And it doesn’t just taste good; it’s also healthy! We all know spinach is a great choice if you want to add more greens to your diet – or simply if you’d like to eat something lip-smacking tasty. It’s not always easy to convince your picky eaters of the health benefits of this super veggie, but soon you won’t have to. As soon as they have a taste of this casserole, they will be begging you to make this every week!

That’s what happened with my 5-year-old, and believe me, I will make this as often as he wants! You see, it isn’t just my son who fell in love with this. My whole family enjoyed this and there were no leftovers, whatsoever! All you need are a few simple ingredients and 20 minutes of baking time, and you can start filling your belly with this goodness. You’ll be slappin’ your knees through the whole meal and going for seconds before your plate is empty!

Well, hello there ladies and gentlemen! I hope you are all doing well today. I thought I’d share a wonderful recipe with y’all because you are some of my favorite people. I know how you guys and gals love your bundt cake and boy, do I have a special treat for you! So, who here likes rum glazed pounders? I know that I certainly do! This recipe will teach you how to make the best rum glazed pound cake this side of the Mississippi. It’s moist, flavorful, and a snap to make.

Don’t worry, there will be no buzzes caught when enjoying this dessert, I promise! LOL! Although I have to say your head might start spinning – this cake is just so delicious! The rum combined with the honey makes the most irresistible glaze I’ve ever tried on a cake.

I like serving this cake in the morning with coffee or tea. It makes a great brunch cake or ladies/mens breakfast food. Maybe add a scoop of your favorite ice cream to the tops of individual servings for a bit of extra sweetness. Yum!

To Say These Are A Hit Is An Understatement!

Don’t you just love it when you find a new recipe that instantly goes on your list of all-time favorites? I certainly do, and this is one of those recipes.

I would even say that these chocolate cheesecake brownies are the best dessert bars ever – and trust me; I’ve tried plenty over the years! I love the fact that I don’t have to decide between brownies and cheesecake. They’re both beautifully combined in this recipe, in the most mouth-watering kind of way. These are great for any occasion; whether it’s a special birthday party, baby shower or a church potluck.

And you don’t have to bend over backwards to get these done! Despite the incredible flavor these are rather simple to make. You probably already have most, if not all, of the ingredients on hand, and the instructions are straightforward. I love to make a double batch of these, serve half of them right away and freeze the other one in bite-sized pieces. That way I will always have a sweet treat ready to go with my coffee – you know, a nice little pick-me-up after a long day at work!

Quick Tip: Want to make this even easier? Just pour the whole chocolate batter into the pan first and top it with the cheesecake batter, if you don’t want to create the marble effect.

If You Haven’t Tried This Yet, You’ve Been Missing Out BIG TIME

When it comes to desserts, I have noticed that there are a few recipes I always return to, no matter how many new ones I try.

One of these staples is the classic cheesecake. It’s perfect for any and every occasion, and by serving it with different kinds of sides you can make it taste fresh and new each time. My favorite side is strawberry sauce or jam, but my best friend likes her cheesecake slice served with fresh peaches. And you know what my husband wants on top of his? Melted chocolate. To me that sounds really weird!

I have tried some cheesecake recipes that were “cutting the corners”, and while they were tasty, they didn’t give me that feeling of WOW. This recipe takes a little bit more effort but the end result is so worth it!

The first time I made this, my husband actually thought I had stopped by our favorite place to buy this. I had to make it again on another occasion to make him believe it had really come from our home kitchen! (Some wives might say that was an insult, but trust me when I tell you, this cheesecake is THAT good.)
