Bake Me Happy - Pretzel Bottomed Reeses Peanut Butter Cup Cookie Pie. I tend to be a fairly conventional person.

Bake Me Happy - Pretzel Bottomed Reeses Peanut Butter Cup Cookie Pie

I’m not a “fly by the seat of my pants” kinda gal. I like the norm. The status quo. 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. Maple Syrup Blueberry Muffins. I’ve said it before, but one of the best things about this little blog is all the great recipes folks have been sharing with me.

Maple Syrup Blueberry Muffins

This delectable muffin recipe is one of them, given to me by my good friend Toni who is one of my favorite fellow cooking enthusiasts, and who has promised to bring me over some of her homemade gnocchi one day. Hopefully it will be one day SOON. In the meantime she passed along this recipe for blueberry muffins. These muffins are sweetened with maple syrup instead of sugar, which makes them just perfect to be sharing with you while I am off in the mountains of Vermont, undoubtedly stocking up on maple syrup and maple sugar candy left and right. The recipe says these are just like little pancakes you can eat with your hands — sweet and buttery with the blueberries and the syrup baked right in. So thanks for the recipe, Toni!

I really really wish I liked to drink coffee, but I just don’t like it. It would be SO much more convenient. Coffee is pretty much everywhere you turn, and us poor second class citizen tea drinkers are doing great if we can find some lukewarm hot water and a tea bag. Banana Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting. I do love baking with bananas.

Banana Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting

But somehow, I always seem to fall into a banana-baking rut by making the same old thing over and over. Banana bread, right? You see those, um, aging bananas on your counter and your mind goes blank except for the banana bread. Raspberry Crumble Squares. Ridiculously Easy Peach Crumble. This incredibly, addictively delicious dessert was SO easy in so many ways, it almost doesn’t seem fair. The recipe itself almost doesn’t require a bowl, a mixer or even a spoon.

The lovely picture above was definitely the easiest one I’ve ever posted (more on that later). Ice Cream Cupcakes. Some recipes are just a work of genius — you run across them and first you think “I have GOT to make this as soon as possible,” and for me that is quickly followed by “now, why didn’t I think of this??”

Ice Cream Cupcakes

These delectable little ice cream cupcakes are from one of those recipes, and are from Joy The Baker, who is a virtuoso when it comes to inventive and irresistible desserts. A virtuoso, plain and simple. Here’s the drill: you make up a batch of brownie batter (Joy makes her own, I went right for that Duncan Hines box in my pantry), and you spoon just a little bit into foil cupcake liners. Just enough to cook up a fabulous brownie base for your cupcake. Bake and freeze. Adult Brownies.

Okay, let me clear one thing up right this very minute.

Adult Brownies

These are not called Adult Brownies for the any of the various and sundry reasons some of you might think they are, anymore than my Naked Ravioli was called Naked Ravioli for any of the various and sundry reasons folks on my Framed Cooks Facebook page thought they were. That’s an imaginative group on that page, and I don’t know if they will be happy or deeply disappointed when I tell them the real reasons for the title of this recipe. First of all, the recipe calls for three different kinds of chocolate. GOOD chocolate. I used Ghiradelli, because as far as I am concerned, that is as good as it gets, chocolate-wise. But the main reason these are adult brownies is because they have a good dose of this in them. Blueberry Cobbler Bars. Ahh, blueberry season, I love you so!

Blueberry Cobbler Bars

Blueberry muffins, blueberry pie, blueberries eaten straight out of the carton. Blueberries, you may just be my favorite berry. Oreo Cupcakes. Oreo Cupcakes November 11, 2009 by Kate 17 Comments.

Devil’s Food Butterfinger Cake. Oh, this cake.

Devil’s Food Butterfinger Cake

I’m kind of at a loss, and probably the best thing to say is simply the following: 1. Devil’s food cake. 2. Slow Cooker Brownie Pudding Cake. Oh, this cake. Oh, this cake. Oh, oh, oh, this cake. Homemade Snickers Bars. Insanity. That’s what this is. Pure In.San.It.TEEEEE. You know those days when you’re in desperate need of sugar and you’ve already downed more gummy vitamins than recommended while seriously considering how many more you can ingest without causing severe harm to your internal organs? They’re just so gooooood. Andes Mint Cupcakes. New photo from my cookbook “Your Cup of Cake” I was introduced to Andes Mints at a very young age. Though, my strongest memory was not of eating them, it was of being attacked by them. My family commonly went to a little Mexican restaurant in town, and when we finished eating we would get these mints with the check.

My two older brothers would make a sort of blow dart from the wrapper, and choose their target. Chocolate Caramel Tart Recipe. Dangerous Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies. Chocolate Chip Cookies.
