Fresh and Light Apple Crisp
Apple Crisp! Fall must be in the air. I really hadn’t planned on blogging this, I mean why? Apple Crisp has been published a million times…but it is a dessert staple around my house and I really do love it and it was just sitting there, waiting for the attention it deserves. A few questions you…

This Caramel Banana Upside Down Bread is so pretty but so easy to make! It’s a bread…no it’s a cake! It taste like cake to me…like really, really good cake but it’s cooked in a loaf pan so it’s bread? I really don’t know and don’t care…I just love it! Caramel Banana Upside Down Bread Ingredients…

This was such a hit! Mr. LaughingSpatula had two, yes two pieces! Salty, sweet, caramely, chocolaty goodness…all served up over a cookie crumb crust. And how long does this masterpiece take to make? Oh, ’bout 10 minutes to assemble. Pop in the freezer for about an hour and you got summer yum! NOTE: You could…
Blueberry Pie Bars
I found several variations of this recipe on Pinterest (cause’ that’s where all the groovy recipes are). I eventually settled on Kleinworth & Co. version. Why?.. well they had the best picture of course so they must be the best, turns out I was right! You can use fresh or frozen blueberries and I’ll just bet you…
Magic Cake – One Batter, 3 Layers!
The first time I tried to bake this I killed it, I mean that literally …a total disaster! I shouldn’t have been near an oven that day, let alone a European recipe that I didn’t understand! After I put the cake in the oven and was cleaning up, it was not a big surprise to…

Starbucks Pumpkin Bread
As some of you may know, I used to work in the corporate offices for Starbucks…and no, I do not have any inside information on the recipe for this bread…but what I got is a daughter who is an amazing cook and loves Pinterest! She found this recipe yesterday and whipped it up last night, and…
Caramel Apple Cake
I love, love apple cake! This is a dense pound cake type with tons of topping and homemade caramel sauce. I think you could easily use store bought caramel sauce and save yourself the time…but it’s kinda cool to make your own! Let me save you some time on this cake. I learned it the hard…

We never seem to be able to finish a big sheet cake…I know!!! I can’t believe it either! I end up tossing half and I hate to waste food…hate, hate, hate! This is the perfect size. Lemon Curd and Yogurt are the secrets to this moist, yummy snack cake! If you haven’t cooked with Lemon…

Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake – Lightened Up!
Still trying to use the plethora of lemons I have! Thought thowing one in a cake would be good idea. This lightened up version of a dense pound cake is based on a recipe I have been making for years from Cooking Light Magazine in 2005. The low fat cream cheese and yogurt are a great substitute…
Outrageous Chocolate Cookies!
These are the hubby’s favorite cookies ever! Fist pumping chocolaty goodness and of course, easy to prepare. These can be a bit sticky to get off the pan, if you have parchment paper or a silicone baking liner hanging around, use them! If not, make sure you give a good solid spray of non stick. Do…
Cinnamon Apple Cake
As my friend said to me yesterday…’ For me, food and weight are associated with quantity…you should eat the things you love in moderation’. That was all I needed to hear to break out the cake pans! Jeeze, I’m so easy. The good news is that this is a lightened up version. It was adapted from Cooking Light…
