Thick, gooey caramel filling over buttery shortbread cookie and covered with swirled chocolate ganache is the golden ticket to get anything you want. My husband and I are quite lucky. We have a roof over our heads.
Summer is on the horizon and I have been inspired lately to create recipes that are just plain fun. You know, desserts with swirls, extra sprinkles, and whimsical flavors. My appetite for dark chocolate and rich, decadent desserts have been packed away with my boots and sweaters for the season and the warmer weather has got me craving fresh and fruity treats.
Everybody loves churros, mostly because of their crispy exterior covered with cinnamon and sugar. But, churros are not exactly healthy food since they are fried in a lot of oil, in the same way as doughnuts. To make slightly healthier version, I made baked doughnuts, brushed them with melted butter and sprinkled with sugar-cinnamon mixture.
Donuts halves are dipped in a custard batter to make French Toast Donuts. Decisions Decisions. Do I want donuts for breakfast? Or French toast? I'm usually good at narrowing my choices down to two and then I get stuck. So this recipe combines the best of both.
Smooth and creamy vanilla fudge filled with Golden Oreos and sprinkles. Easy to prepare and even easier to eat! I had the best weekend at home in Philly. It was my parents' 40th anniversary and my sister Sarah was in town from St. Louis. I love it when the whole fam is together again!
This stripy lemon and raspberry cake speaks for itself: elegant and refined on the outside, yet quirky on the inside - great if you feel like a change from the usual, and you're in the mood for something fun. Unlike most layer cakes, the stripes are vertical.
Frozen bananas and mini chocolate chips are all it takes to make these tasty little ice cream bites that are the perfect healthy summer treat! Well, ready or not, summer is here! Schools are letting out and the weather is starting to warm up, for most of us.
This is now the cake with the most compliments. Originally made for one of my good friends birthdays, I knew instantly it was something I'd need to make again for Better Happier. The fresh raspberries give an electric pink color that's perfect for any warm weather gathering.

This easy cookie recipe for Hot Chocolate Cookie Cups is made with Pillsbury Sugar Cookie dough. They're filled with chocolate ganache and have a pretzel handle! I checked the weather and read that there are multiple Alberta Clippers on the way.
