Carrot Cake with Buttermilk Icing

My youngest had a terrible day yesterday. Actually, her day was humming along just fine until around 3:30, when we pulled into the neighborhood after school and drove past her best friend’s house. And she spotted the newly planted First Weber sign square in the front yard. And it didn’t click immediately in her 10-year old brain what that sign meant, exactly. As I watched her in the rearview mirror, my heart sank right along with her jaw. The realization hit her. And the panic set in.

The Lazy Girl’s Irresistible Toffee Crunch

The title of this post could have easily been “Toffee Crunch for Ding-a-Lings”, “White Trash Toffee”, “Trailer Trash Toffee”, or “Dump-it-in-the-Trash-Before-I-Eat-Anymore Toffee”. Take your pick. Just take some, please!

Strawberry Gelato

It will give me such great comfort if the following scenario has played out at your house at some point this summer:

“MOM, I can’t find my (lost item)!! I think (name of younger sibling) took it again! (He/She) is always taking my stuff!” You then assist in an exhaustive search, and discover that the ‘missing’ item has been in the accuser’s own bedroom all along, and had he/she picked up his/her clothing and bath towel that morning (as you had requested), the lost item never would have gone missing in the first place.

Cherry Granita

If you’re looking for a refreshing treat for the Holiday weekend, it’s your lucky day. And if you want it to be simple, easy, and fun to make at the same time, I’ve also got you covered!

But if you want it to be neat, tidy, and mess-free to assemble (jeepers, demanding much?) –- well, I make no promises. Not to dissuade you from whipping up this delicious dessert, but my hands and white t-shirt are now stained a vivid purple.

Molten Brownie Pudding

I have no frugal dinner suggestion to speak of today.

Because the nightly news, the DJIA, and the Brewers have me feeling like the apocalypse is drawing near.

Because I feel like planet earth is about to implode in an earthquaking, oil-slicked, Icelandic-volcano-ash-plumed ball of flames.

Old Fashioned Carrot Cake

Please, please make this cake immediately! Carrots are on sale, people! They’re an excellent source of antioxidants and vitamin A, for pitty’s sake! A big hunk of cake pairs swimmingly with a glass of calcium-rich milk! And seriously, do you really need a reason?!!

The Best Peanut Butter Cookies You Will Ever Have…Period

These days, the only time I make an exception to my ‘smooth peanut butter only’ rule is when I make these amazing cookies. Chunky peanut butter was on sale last week, and this week the other key ingredient, roasted salted peanuts, are on special. If you’ve got Super Chunk fans at your house, these cookies will knock ‘em dead!

Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies

Forget about Toll House, they’re old hat! You’ve got to try these amazing cookies, they’re the hands down favorite of the whole DamFam!
Now, I’m not that much in to sweets – I like ‘em okay, but I’d much prefer salty snacks to their sugary counterparts. But these cookies are a serious guilty pleasure of mine. When they’re hanging around, staring me down from their spot on the cooling rack, lookin’ all innocent and whatnot, I simply cannot be held responsible for my actions. That’s why I made up a system to keep myself honest. I make up a huge recipe of dough, and divide it into thirds. I bake a small batch of cookies for my twerps, then freeze the remaining dough for a rainy day.

Best Ever Blueberry Coffee Cake

I brought this coffee cake as part of a hostess gift. I love to make this cake when fresh blueberries are on sale, but it could of course be made with frozen berries in the dead of winter. Speaking of freezing, I’ve doubled the recipe and frozen one for a rainy day; I’ve made it in round cake pans, loaf pans, and muffin tins too, with no trouble. You’ll be a welcome overnight guest wherever you go if you take this coffeecake along, or try it out on guests of your own!

To better celebrate the Fourth of July, today I am going to share with you a recipe for one of the most frugal, yet insanely delicious summer desserts ever. Especially frugal when you consider that I just found out we have blueberries on sale this week, 4 pints for $5.00.
