Spiced Cranberry Chocolate Cake

By Sherry K on December 14th, 2012

Here I go layering again.

I guess I just can’t help myself.

Just like I can’t help but add cranberries and cream cheese to a chocolate cake. I mean, who does these things?

At first it didn’t seem like a match made in […]

Peanut Butter Caramel Chewy Christmas Wreaths

By Sherry K on December 6th, 2012

One of my very first posts was Peanut Butter Caramel Chewy Easter Egg Nests, where I took a basic 4-ingredient recipe and shaped it into a cute holiday treat.

At the time, I said I would be introducing Christmas wreaths in a few months.

My, […]

Note: The word “Grateful” is a Christmas card that my good friend Cary at ZFactory made. Feel free to check out his other card designs here: ZFactory Christmas cards.

Chocolate Pumpkin Mousse Pie

By Sherry K on October 25th, 2012

I just love layers. I don’t know, maybe I am influenced by the Legos and Lincoln Logs of my youth; but there’s something about stacking that intrigues me.

So when it comes to stacking flavors, I’m particularly interested. And if those flavors happen to be pumpkin and […]

My S.O. has been after me to create some variations on the Peanut Butter Caramel Chewy recipe that I use to make Christmas wreaths, Easter Egg Nests and other treats. After all, the recipe lends itself nicely to a host of fun and interesting additions.

So since […]

The day that Burger King released their Hot Fudge Bacon Sundae, my S.O. and I headed for the nearest location. As we sat at the drive-up window, we could hear the employees commenting as they made our sundae:

“I think this is the grossest thing ever!”

“Who […]

Ginger Peach Cheesecake Ice Cream

By Sherry K on September 14th, 2012

My best childhood memories involve standing around my grandma’s homemade ice cream maker at family gatherings.

She’d pack the ice and salt around the canister, plug it in, and we’d wait…and wait…and wait…for what seemed like an eternity.

If we were really lucky, […]

Banana Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream

By Sherry K on August 31st, 2012

I hesitated for the longest time to buy the ice cream maker attachment to my KitchenAid stand mixer.

After all, if I bought the attachment, wouldn’t I be tempted to make (and eat) ice cream everyday? Who needs temptations like that? But the thought of getting […]

Have you ever had one of those days when you just wanted to come home to a little bliss?

Perhaps a hot luxurious bubble bath?

Maybe a glass of wine on the back deck?

Possibly a little indulgent dessert?

Freezing Blueberries

By Sherry K on July 31st, 2012

It’s Zippy Tip Tuesday!

Without a doubt, my favorite way to consume blueberries is straight off the blueberry bush. Not only are they tasty, but they are so darned good for us too. So rather than depriving myself of these precious little blue gems the rest of […]
