When the holidays come around there is nothing I want more then a huge slice of pecan pie. This year I wanted to change it up a little and add chocolate. If I am making something for the first time I usually go to the NYTimes recipe section online. They always have incredible recipes with […]
Buttermilk Waffles With Extra Vanilla!!!
Usually I dread the time change. I know you “get” an extra hour, but then it gets dark early and I just feel like I lose out somehow. Not this time! I woke up last Sunday so refreshed. I usually work later on Sundays so I had so much extra time to play in the […]
Nacho Cheese Burgers
I have been craving a plate of nachos lately. Unfortunately, Patrick is not a big fan of tortilla chips so I am always trying to come up with a new spin on nachos. Homemade nacho cheese is what makes this fantastic burger. Fresh garlic and jalapenos sauteed before adding in sharp cheddar and monteray jack. […]
Salty Olive and Cheddar Bread
Something about fresh baked bread just gives my house such a homey feel. We do not eat a lot of bread believe it or not which is really hard on my Italian roots. My mother makes some of the greatest bread I have ever had. Growing up we always had home made yeast rolls with […]

Happy Halloween! Today’s post is going to be super short and sweet! I just had to get this yummy recipe up before the day was over! I made this cupcakes with my all time favorite coca cola cake recipe then stuffed them with coca cola ganache then topped them off with a perfect cream cheese […]
Caramel Chocolate Cake With Nutella Frosting
Halloween treats are my favorite kinds of desserts to make! This Caramel Chocolate Cake is no different. I used a basic chocolate cake batter and elevated it with layers of salted caramel, nutella frosting, and sugar glass shards. I will warn you- these sugar shards were pretty sharp. They taste awesome, but I removed them […]
Nutella Caramel Fudge Brownies
I know – who do I think I am posting two Nutella recipes in a row? I just cannot help myself! I have no idea how I have somehow lumped Nutella and the fall season together. Something about this cocoa hazelnut spread just has my taste buds singing! I also needed a reason to use […]
Cinnamon Toast Crunch French Toast
I very rarely eat cereal, but we seem to always have it on hand. Publix had a huge Cinnamon Toast Crunch display and I just couldn’t resist buying a box. I have been toying with the idea of using it in a french toast dish. After I made this Challah bread I knew exactly what […]
Caramel Corn Apple Stuffed Cupcakes
I am so excited for the fall season! This is my first official Halloween post. I have so many things happening this month that I can’t wait to share! These caramel corn apple stuffed cupcakes look complicated, but actually didn’t take me long at all. I started with a vanilla cupcake and added cinnamon apples, […]
Po Boys with Yum Yum Sauce
I know I know. Another FRIED CHICKEN RECIPE!? I promise this is different. You can swap the chicken out for white fish or shrimp, but we just happened to have chicken on hand. Did I mention that once a month I load up on every cut of chicken and beef I can find and freeze […]
