Banana Fudge Pops

I had three sad looking bananas sitting in my fruit basket, but I wasn’t in the mood to make banana bread, so each day they sat there drawing guilt from me because I couldn’t bring myself to throw them away, but I couldn’t bring myself to make banana bread either. So I decided to turn…

Vegan Chocolate Mousse

This definitely satisfies the chocolate craving while staying healthy and animal-product free. It is creamy, smooth, rich, and delicious. Unsuspecting guests (or children, in my case) will never know you used avocado. Or soy milk…Or agave.         Save Print Vegan Chocolate Mousse Prep time:  10 mins Total time:  10 mins Serves: 2  …

Mini Pies

In honor of Pi Day today, (3-14-15) I have made some mini pies! These are so fun, so quick, and extra delicious. I got this recipe idea from Gimme Some Oven and I like it because I don’t have to make anything from scratch. All you need is a muffin tin, some pie filling, some pie crusts…and…

Tie-dye Cake

I promised my 8-year-old I’d make her a gummy bear layer cake for her birthday, but she happens to be a tie-dye fiend as well, so I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to do a tie-dye pattern in the layers. And here goes… This recipe allows for two layers at a time. Any white cake mix will do….

Jell-o Float

Turn a boring drink into an invigorating experience with a little jell-o and whipped cream. Here’s how:   1. Pour your “bubbly” of choice into a glass.     2. Place a small serving of your favorite jell-o into the glass.   3. Top with whipped cream…   and a maraschino cherry, and sip with a straw.   Also,…

Cookie Monster Cupcakes

There is NOTHING to this recipe. I did it for my son’s 1st birthday in like 5 seconds flat, and it was pretty cute. All you do is buy colored cake mix (they sell them in single packages so you can make rainbow cakes with them). If you don’t have blue cake mix, then use…

No-Crust Lemon Meringue

My girls and I were watching Junior Master Chef last night and there was a contest where all the kids got to smash lemon meringue pies in the Chef’s faces. Those pies looked so creamy and delicious, my kids convinced me to bake one on the spot. Which is funny because I have never baked…

Baked Pumpkin Ice Cream

This no-churn ice cream is so smooth and rich, and the baked pumpkin so tender, your family will think you spent hours on this dessert. What they won’t know is that the entire recipe takes all of 20 minutes to prepare! If you are at ALL a pumpkin fan, you will be in heaven to the last bite….

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cupcakes

These are actually considered “muffins,” and the recipe does call for pumpkin, which is in the squash family, so I suppose it’s kind of healthy….? But who are we kidding? These are straight-up cupcakes. They are so sweet and moist, and with the chocolate chips and cream cheese frosting they make a phenomenal dessert. Part of you will want to share…
