My treat of choice is always a baked good. Not a candy bar or ice cream or chips. It must be a cake, cookie, donut or pie. That's just the way it is. I love fancied up cakes, especially. I took a regular chocolate cake mix and added a few extra ingredients to make it more dense and delicious, kinda like the kind you get from a bakery. Then I added marshmallows. Then Lucky Leaf pie filling. The result is this to-die-for Cherry Chocolate Marshmallow Cake. Valentine's Day is coming up so why not … [Read more...]

Cookies & Cream Donuts
Since I received my donut pan for Christmas, I am on a mission to make all kinds of delicious donuts. (Check out this link for the pans.) my first donut recipe was Chocolate Cake Donuts. Perfect recipe to start with. These Cookies and Cream Donuts are just as easy. The donut is a vanilla cake donut that tastes like it came from a bakery. The glaze is so easy and you warm it while you make it which gives it that crackle when you bite into it. Oreos on top finish it off in the perfect … [Read more...]
Greek Salad
Greek Salad is a refreshing salad with chicken and a wonderful dressing all tossed with fresh vegetables. It makes a wonderful light meal. Are you all on the eating healthy train? I am partially. It's good to eat healthy, but it's good to have treats. It just is. Moderation is the key. We've all heard that. Salads are good as long as you eat them right. I can't handle a salad with just lemon juice on it (it's a thing) or just a splash of vinegar. You gotta have a good dressing. With yummy … [Read more...]
