Country-Fried “Steaks” with Chipotle Gravy

I’ve been looking for something more to do with hamburger and I think I’ve found it.  Supposedly, this recipe only takes about 28 minutes (it’s from the Pampered Chef 29 Minutes to Dinner Vol. 2), but it did take me a little longer to do.  Granted, a lot of that had to do with me […]

White Chocolate Velvet Cake

This is a twist on the Chocolate Velvet Cake recipe from the Pampered Chef. The idea of replacing the devil’s food cake with the angel food cake seemed simple enough when I wanted to do something with white chocolate.  The cake came out well enough, however, I have made some slight adjustments to the original […]

Quick & Easy Breakfast Cookies

This was one of those “why not” moments I had awhile ago.  The three of us tend to have pancakes pretty regularly, but we always have leftover batter.  Before, I would end up making up the batter and/or throwing it away because no one liked cold or reheated pancakes.  Then I got the idea of […]

The one thing William did tell me is that […]

Cinnamon Coffee Cake

So the hubby found this recipe and requested that I make it (so he could take it to work). It is rather simple and quick. All of the hubby’s co-workers also just loved it (they’ve requested that I make 2 pans next time…and that next time is rather soon:-)). I added about 1/2 tablespoon of […]

Peanut Butter and Jelly Bread

This was better than I thought it would be. It’s still kind of weird, but I have to admit, I liked the peanut butter and jelly flavoring in the bread. It’s definitely a bread that doesn’t need a lot of extra on it, but I could see using jam instead of butter when serving. This […]

Raspberry Buckle

I’ll be honest, this is one recipe I haven’t tried in awhile. The original recipe is for the classic blueberry buckle, but I wanted to try it with raspberries instead. The crumble topping isn’t very crumbly when you’re making it.  It’s more of a wet doughy texture.  It still works as a crumble, you just […]
