S’mores Snack Mix: 3 Ingredients Mix and Go

June 4, 2018 by Susan 2 Comments

 

Sometimes, I am not my mother’s daughter.  I run late..a lot.  And I forget things.  Lots of things.  Things like when I’m in charge of bringing snacks for after church.

I’ll admit it’s gotten better since I’ve been paired with my niece.  She is much more like my mom.  Organized.  Totally on top of things.  She typically texts me during the week to ask what I’m bringing, which is usually my reminder that I’m on treat duty that Sunday. (Thanks, Steph!)

Sweet and Buttery Cherry Coffee Cake

May 21, 2018 by Susan 2 Comments

 

Do you have a favorite meal of the year?  Maybe it’s Thanksgiving dinner with all the fixings?  A special New Years Day menu?  I’ve been saying for years that our Christmas brunch is my favorite meal of the year, but I realized recently that it may be tied with our Mother’s Day brunch.

Notice a theme?  This girl likes brunch.

Individual Cakes in Jars

March 26, 2018 by Susan 2 Comments

Do you usually make dessert for dinner?  Unless we have guests, I don’t.  But every once in a while it’s nice to surprise my guys with a sweet treat, and these cuties are one of my favorites.

Each person getting their own little cake in a jar…adorable!  The cuteness is lost on the boys, but being the only girl in the house, I am used to that.

They love them because they’re totally delish.

Easy Dulce de Leche Cookie Scoops

February 5, 2018 by Susan Leave a Comment

This easy recipe takes a recipe for sweetened condensed milk cookies and swaps it out for dulce de leche. The result is rich and yummy, especially when you add chocolate chips!

Have you ever had an ‘a-ha’ moment in the kitchen?  I was talking to my dulce de leche loving niece recently about recipes using the sweet elixir of the gods when lightening struck.

One of the easiest cookie recipes I’ve made uses a can of sweetened condensed milk.  Dulce de leche is sweetened condensed milk that has been caramelized.  TA-DA!

Guess what I made the next day?

Alfajores: Dulce de Leche Sandwich Cookies

December 14, 2017 by Susan 5 Comments

Alfajores. Sweet sandwich cookies filled with Dulce de Leche. Amazing!!

 

Have you boarded the dulce de leche train yet?  Thick, rich caramel.  Amazingly decadent.

I found this recipe when looking for recipes to make for a girls movie night a couple of years ago.  We were watching Evita, and I was searching for recipes from Argentina.  These little gems appeared, and I was smitten.

Shortcut Coconut Cream Pie

November 20, 2017 by Susan Leave a Comment

Shortcut Coconut Cream Pie. It's amazing how such an easy recipe can be so rich and delicious!

Isn’t it terrible when you like something, but no one else in your family does?  Frequently, when we got to potlucks, or other events, I’ll make one of these recipes.

Coconut is one of those things around my house.

I looooovve coconut, but my family won’t eat it.  Weirdos.

So can you guess what I made for our church’s annual Harvest Supper dessert on Saturday?  Coconut cream pies of course.
