Pumpkin Bread with Pumpkin Buttercream. I make a lot of pumpkin bread in the fall and winter, and wanted to try out a new recipe.

Skinny frozen peanut butter pie. This pie. Wow. When I was brainstorming birthday cake recipes to make for Kevin’s birthday, I got a brainfreeze. It may OR may not have been from the orange creamsicle I was inhaling, but I’m pretty sure it was because I was SO overwhelmed with all the sprinkle-y, chocolate buttercream-y, and death-by-chocolate thoughts swirling in my head. I threw up my hands and asked friends on my Facebook what I should make.

I know, it is terrible. I wasn't working the last half of my pregnancy so I spent most of my day on the couch watching TLC and other shows my husband wouldn't have enjoyed watching with me had he been home.

I would eat junk food all day because nothing ever sounded good and I hated preparing food for myself. It was so much easier to just grab something rather than make something good for me. I have always been a huge sweets fan and it was only worse when I was pregnant!

Other recipes you'll love: Apple Fritter Muffins. There are two areas of the grocery store that I know to avoid if I happen to go shopping on an empty stomach...the deli with the chicken strips and fried potatoes, and the donuts. Why exactly are fried foods so tasty? I learned long ago to just walk the other way rather than try and fight the temptation.

Every so often though I give into the siren song of the apple fritter...crispy fried exterior, soft donut and cinnamony apple insides all wrapped up with a yummy sugary glaze. Rather than completely deprive this house of apple cinnamon goodness, I've combined all of the same flavors, minus the fried yumminess, into a muffin. I won't pretend it's healthy with the double dip into the glaze, but it has to be a bit healthier than it would be if it was tossed into a deep fryer. Of course you have to start with the apples. After the apples are cooked, toss them with the 1/3 cup flour to prevent them from sinking during baking.

Let them cool for a bit before you dip in the glaze. 2 tsp cinnamon. Chocolate Espresso Cupcakes. Reese’s KrispieTreats. No-bake energy bites - gimme some oven.

The only thing better than a full sized cheesecake is a mini cheesecake. One could argue that a full sized cheesecake is better because you get so much more – but there is a lot to be said for single-serving cheesecakes that can be made easily in small batches. They’re quick and convenient to bake, and they offer both portion control and portability. And on top of all that, they taste just as good as the full-sized version.

These Chocolate Chip Mini Cheesecakes are a simple cheesecake batter baked in a standard muffin pan, and no waterbath or other special equipment is required. The pans are lined with muffin wrappers, which make them easy to remove after baking, and a graham cracker crumb mixture is pressed into each one. The crust bakes along with the cheesecake. The cheesecake batter is a thick, creamy mixture of cream cheese and a bit of sour cream (or greek yogurt will also work) and it bakes up to have a rich, creamy texture. Preheat oven to 350F.
