I feel like I have been sharing a lot of chocolate based recipes lately so I thought I would go in a different direction this week.  I came across this recipe for Lemon Brownies on Pinterest and I have been dying to try it.  The recipe is fairly easy and I already have most of the ingredients.  I just need a lemon.  Thanks for sharing Rita’s Recipes!

Here’s what you need to make these:

  • 3/4 C flour
  • 3/4 C sugar
  • 1/4 t salt
  • 1 stick butter, soft
  • 2 eggs
  • juice from 1/2 lemon (about 1T)
  • zest from 1/2 lemon (about 1t)

Tasty Treat Tuesday: Carmelitas

September 18, 2012 by Leave a Comment

I pinned this a couple of days ago on Pinterest and several people have repinned it since then so I thought I would share it with you too.  If the picture isn’t enough of a sell, then here is what the maker has to say about it.  Carmelitas are “like a buttery oatmeal cookie that swallowed a caramel-filled chocolate bar and then got bibitty-bobitty-booed by the dessert fairy godmother and received an extra dose of deliciousness.”  Thanks for the recipe Lulu the Baker!  I cannot wait to make these, but no promises on sharing with the family.

Here’s what you need to make these:

  • 32 caramel squares, unwrapped
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips

Tasty Treat Tuesday: Oatmeal Chocolate Peanut Butter No-Bake Candy Bars

September 4, 2012 by Leave a Comment


With the temperatures here in Texas still hitting 100 degrees, I am all about no bake dessert recipes.  I will do just about anything to keep me from having to turn my oven on and heat my house up even more!  This recipe claims to be almost fudge-like and semi-healthy.  I am sold!  Thanks New Nostalgia.

Here’s what you need to make these:

  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 2/3 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil (no substitutes, this is what gives its creamy texture and flavor)
  • 2 cups oats (not instant)
  • 1 1/4 cups mini chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup dried cranberries

Cooking With Kids Thursday: French Toast Kebabs

August 30, 2012 by Leave a Comment

I am not a morning person so during the week breakfast consists of either cereal or cereal bars.  Saturdays are our special breakfast day.  We usually have pancakes.  A couple of times we have tried french toast but it hasn’t gone over very well with the kids, but I have a feeling that will all change once we put it on a stick.  Seriously, what is it about a stick that makes food suddenly taste better and seem cooler?  I am thinking we will let the kids assemble their own just to mkae it even more fun.  Thanks Pink Parsley!

Here’s what you need to make these:

  • 1 large loaf of bakery bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt
  • 2 Tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 pint blueberries (or any other fruit you might like to use)
  • 3/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • butter or cooking spray, to cook the bread cubes
