Strawberry Mint Sorbet
Hey! No April foolin’ here – this Strawberry Mint Sorbet is a quick, easy, and super delicious treat you’ll want to make no matter what the weather is where you live. I say that because I’m about to head to freezing cold Chicago from sunny, warm California, but I might just make a batch of...
Guinness and Jameson Cinnamon Rolls
Yesterday I was issued a challenge. My friend Mike sent me a link to this recipe saying nothing but, “Thanks in advance.” Now, I’m not one to back down from a challenge, but as soon as I looked at the recipe I dropped everything and started baking. And that’s what you need to do right...

Chocolate Pumpkin Spice Rice Krispies Treats
Who needs a Monday pick-me-up? (Is it wrong that I am raising my own hand?) My little brother recently had a birthday. By “little” I mean he is about 6’5″ and has a beard-or maybe a mustache, is that what is happening this month?- so, he’s not technically little anymore, but he’ll always be my...
