Easy. E…..Z…. Peach Crunch Cake. You need some sliced peaches in syrup. Just dump them in a 13 X 9 dish. Note: this can also be called a dump cake. Cut the peaches into smaller pieces and you can distribute them more evenly. Next up, you need a yellow cake mix. Sprinkle it right over the top of the peaches. Keep sprinkling until it’s all covered up. Then layer 1 stick of butter right on the top. For some reason this photo makes me smile. Design Crush & Popsicles! Not to sound full of myself, but I’m pretty sure this is the be all, end all of popsicle roundups.

Design Crush & Popsicles!

There’s a little something for everyone: the foodies, the purists, the ones who prefer frozen yogurt, the ones who prefer a little alcohol, everyone. Tweny-five options to be exact. Christmas Morning Breakfast - Cinnabons and Breakfast Casserole. Cinnamon Toast Rolls. The USDA released its new food pyramid the other day (which is actually a plate now instead of a pyramid), and I am sorely disappointed to report that cinnamon rolls did not appear anywhere on that plate.

Cinnamon Toast Rolls

I think by now most of us know what should be on our dinner plate in terms of healthy, well-rounded nutrient-laden meals, but it is my considered opinion that our breakfast plate should include cinnamon rolls now and then. Craving: Red Velvet Brownies - freutcake. This weekend I temporarily lost my baking mojo.

Craving: Red Velvet Brownies - freutcake

I burnt a batch of caramel, ruined shortbread and my pizza dough was a disaster. What was happening? Why did my favorite past time turn on me? …Sunday night rolled around and I felt the need to redeem myself with one last recipe for Red Velvet Cream Cheese brownies. Lemon Sugar Crusted Blueberry Muffins. Blueberry Pie for Betsy. My mom left early Saturday morning (like, 4 a.m. early) to drive back to Tennessee after helping my sister, Wetsy, for a few days…but not before she whipped up one of her delicious blueberry pies for all of us to devour, which we did without apologies.

Blueberry Pie for Betsy

It was delicious—simply delicious—and with all the health benefits I’ve been hearing about blueberries, I felt wellness pumping through my veins with every single bite I took. And that natural vanilla ice cream that accompanied it? Well…well…let’s just say it was a health food fest. Kind of. First thing my mom did was whip up one of her pie crusts, which is very, very similar to this one. Next, she threw some blueberries in a mixing bowl and coated them with sugar and possibly a little nutmeg. And to find out why almost all of this shot is out of focus except for one little area, read about BOKEH over in PW Photography.

Then she arranged the blueberries in the pie crust. And then…and then…and then… She dotted the top with butter. Chocolate Chip Lava Cookies. I am so in love with these darn chocolate lava cookies!

Chocolate Chip Lava Cookies

What is it about a warm, gooey chocolate chip cookie stuffed with decadent, rich, melted chocolate that makes it so irresistible?? Especially when topped with vanilla ice cream. Apple Pies. I know, I’ve made a few pies lately. But see how these are different? Look at how adorable these are! Cinnamon Rolls 101. Hey!

Cinnamon Rolls 101

I have a great idea. Why not start a holiday tradition of delivering these delicious cinnamon rolls to your friends and cohorts? Growing up, my mom always made them for her good friends at Christmastime, and you could literally hear the primal groans of pure joy rising from the rooftops of our town. I’ve carried on the tradition through the years and have won friends and influenced people just by delivering these rolls.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles. I’ve never liked chocolate chip cookies.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles

Go ahead and throw tomatoes at me if you’d like, but I don’t like ’em. They’re just a plain old cookie, after all, with a few studs of chocolate chips in them. They’re nothing special to me, unless you get some cookie dough-action before it meets its fate in the oven. Now you’re talkin’. I’d much rather drown my sorrows in a bowl of cookie dough than nibble a dozen “cookies” dipped in milk. I know there are plenty of cookie-dough-nay-sayers out there… you know, the salmonella scare and all . Chilled dough is rolled into 1-inch balls. Those chilled dough balls are dipped in chocolate and then placed onto waxed paper to set. Chocolate Covered Brownie Ice Cream Sandwich Recipe. Chocolate Covered Brownie Ice Cream Sandwich.

Slutty Brownies - StumbleUpon. Now I don’t want to over sell this, so I’m going to be conservative and simply say, that these are… The Best Brownies In The WORLD.

Slutty Brownies - StumbleUpon

I know, big statement. They’re called Slutty Brownies because they’re oh so easy, and more than a little bit filthy. They’re best served warm from the oven, with good quality vanilla ice cream (devastatingly I didn’t have any in the freezer this time, so I guess I’ll just have to make them again). They take about 45mins to make, including baking time. The ultimate comfort food, whipped up within the hour. You will need… 1 Box of cookie mix, 1 Box of brownie mix, 2 Eggs, 2 Packs of Oreos (double stuffed ones are even better if you can find them) Some oil & your favourite ice-cream (optional) Cookies N Cream Parfaits. Come to mama, little chocolate sandwich cookie Let me crumble you into my glass I’ll spoon some silky, chocolate pudding over you And after, a smooth cloud of creamy, chocolate fluffiness I’ll then sprinkle in a bit more of you, little chocolate sandwich cookie And layer more velvety goodness over top Until my entire glass has been filled to the brim With dark chocolate richness, and your sweet, crumbled cookie-ness Taste what’s good and pass it on.
