This post and recipe was created for #SummerDessertWeek! I was sent samples by some of the sponsor companies but as always opinions are 100% mine. Welcome to the first #SummerDessertWeek event hosted by Angie from Big Bear’s Wife. We’re so glad that you’ve joined us for this week long event of…

homemade chocolates and control freaks
I admit it. I am a control freak. Not to the point where it’s my-way-or-the-highway, but to the point where if my husband asks me where the ketchup is; I just go get it. Or, how to do something… I just do it. Then he says, “You could have just told me.” There…
Chocolate mousse cups
Confession: I meant to post this last Spring. I could be considered very late; or very early for this Spring. Or Valentine’s day… yep, I’m right on time for Valentine’s day. Speaking of Valentines….
spiced apple tart
My daughter and I made this during our study of France, while working on our Five In A Row unit of Madeline. We also made a Swiss, ham and leek quiche, French Onion soup, and crouque mosuiers, which I will share with you soon. But, today I’m sharing this with you. Most of…
toll house cookie dough pie
It’s a pie, it’s a cookie… it’s crunchy and chewy…. It’s perfect for when you don’t know what you want for dessert.
spaghetti n meatball…cupcakes
These are the EASIEST cupcakes to decorate. If you can make a mess, you can decorate these with perfection. As for the meatballs? Can you unwrap a chocolate? You’re good.
key lime pie with a toasted coconut crust
Summer desserts have to be 3 things: creamy cool tropical It’s the thing to have for breakfast dessert on a swealtery summer night.
chocolate mint chiffon pie
This was a recipe I created for Florida Dairy Farmers, and it’s the perfect Springtime dessert, (or, almost Spring-at least) It’s fluffy and minty, and has a chocolate cookie crust that balances the creamy mint filling like nothing else… I created this recipe specifically for St Patricks day, it’s green, it’s the ideal…
strawberry shortcake roll
Believe it or not, this was a partial fail recipe…you see.. I left it a bit too long to cool after I rolled it which equals the “lovely” flat bottom the “roll” has. Hey…isn’t there a Queen song about flat bottoms? Wait. Fat bottoms. Whoops. Hmmm that makes me think of Black Bottom…
salted caramel flan and other events
I made this last week, along with some other items for Florida Dairy. That’s Fleur De Sel on top of it. “Flower of Salt”. Sea salt, just fluffier… in extreme layman terms. I could get really detailed about it, do you want me to? Okay… It’s the top layer of sea salt, set…
homemade twix bars and a giveaway
Am I allowed to call them that? Should I use a ® after”Twix”? Just a thought… Twix are one of my all time favorite candy bars. Zero bars are my first favorite, though. Have you ever had one? Oh…you must try one if not. But Twix are good because they have that cookie…
