Improving my love of life…. through loving God, self and others
This is a favorite in our house, it is quick and easy to make and it satisfies the most intense chocolate craving. I'm pretty sure we originally found it on Allrecipes.com and that is where this picture came from. We are most likely to make it for someone else or when a group of people... Continue Reading →
Bon Appetit magazine shared this recipe in the most recent issue, and I have made it a couple of times already. It is smooth like pudding, and satisfying like a dessert should be. I have used Hershey's cocoa and Special Dark, and prefer the dark chocolate version, but that wasn't surprising to me. If you... Continue Reading →
This is one of my most requested recipes, I don't think I got it from anyone else, I just decided to add some chocolate to a standard pecan pie many years ago. There are some recipes that have a ribbon of fudge going through the pie, this is not like that, it's more of a... Continue Reading →

It was summer of 1990 and my parents and I went out to TGIFriday's for dessert. This was kind of a big deal in my world, as a family we didn't go out much, and we certainly didn't have dessert! I chose the Mocha Mud Pie and was in love, so much so that I... Continue Reading →

They share some of their best selling popsicles, and I pan to make them all over the next month or so!I really like having something sweet... Continue Reading →
It's officially strawberry season, my daughter and I picked almost 20 pounds of 'em over the weekend! This is one of my favorite summer desserts because it's light, easy to make and has a great presentation. I found it on Allrecipes.com at least nine years ago and have made it so many times since then.... Continue Reading →
I have been in a lemon mood lately, not sure why. Last Spring we were in Italy and saw so many lemon trees that I had to buy a plant when we returned. It took 6 or 8 months, but my plant returned one perfect lemon. It was the sweetest thing. So this year I'm... Continue Reading →
This is the ultimate cake for a true chocolate/salted caramel lover. Honestly I can think of only three people I am willing to bake one for because it is such a beast! One of those three had a birthday yesterday and this was the result. I used this recipe for my daughter's high school graduation... Continue Reading →
My son sent me a picture of this with one word, Please?? He is not a big dessert eater and rarely makes a request for food, so I indulged him on this one. It was a hit! I found the recipe on http://www.handletheheat.com/peanut-butter-cup-cheesecake/ and chose it because of the Oreo crust, many others used brownies.... Continue Reading →
