German Chocolate Brownie Bars with Brown Sugar Pecan Crust

Tuesday, June 28, 2011

I got home from Minnesota this weekend, late Saturday evening. I had such a fantastic time with my family that I wasn’t even homesick. Although, I was sick for the hubster…and our boy…and our furry baby, Loki… I guess I was homesick after all. Honestly though, I was the most homesick for the hubster. I ...

White Chocolate Strawberry Ice Cream Cupcakes

Thursday, June 23, 2011

My luggage finally joined me in Minnesota the other day. Tuesday, to be exact. That’s right, my luggage didn’t get to me until five days after I had already been visiting my sis and her family. I was not a happy camper. Luckily, and happily, I’ve had my nephews to distract me. We spent the ...

Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream

Tuesday, June 21, 2011

Raspberry Vanilla Cream Pie

Thursday, June 9, 2011

The last week has been pretty crazy around here, technologically speaking. Lots of changes and tweaks to the blog and website took place that you can’t see, but they’re definitely there. Hopefully, this last week of downtime, 404 errors, and broken links will pay off to a better, faster, more consistent running website for the ...

Gimme Some Sugar: A Sweet List of Tasty Links

Tuesday, June 7, 2011

Hey guys, it’s Andrea. Hope you all are doing well since my last post! To update you, I made the fruit salsa for my family reunion, and it was wonderful! I got so many compliments on it. It was very easy to make. The hardest part is dicing all the fruit. I substituted blackberries for the raspberries because I don’t like ...

Calzones

Thursday, June 2, 2011

Do you have a favorite food that you always want to eat, no matter how often you make it? For me, that food is calzones. I absolutely love them. I could eat them every day and never get sick of them. And the best part? I don’t have to make them, because they’re the Hubster’s ...
