Double Chocolate Red Velvet Cookies
May 6th, 2013
As an occasional couponer, I sometimes come across deals I just can’t pass up. Take for instance the deal I got on Duncan Hines Red Velvet Cake Mix I got for $0.50 a box. Naturally, I had to take advantage of the sale so I ended up with 6 boxes of the stuff. I associate

Mango Rice Pudding
April 2nd, 2013
Are you guilty of pinning like crazy, but rarely attempting those wonderful recipes you’ve pinned? I definitely am, but I know I will someday. Well, my someday came on Easter Sunday.

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Brownie Bites
March 17th, 2013
My mother-in-law watched my son over the weekend while my husband was away. I was so grateful to her because I took very ill that weekend and I wanted to bake her a little “thank you.” So I whipped up a brownie box mix, poured the batter into a mini muffin tins, and stuck a

Caramel Apple Bread Pudding

Warning: This is not a Weight Watchers-friendly recipe!!! My mother-in-law had my son over for a good portion of the weekend. Doing so allowed my husband and I to go see a movie. For the first time. In five years. We saw Ted. You know, the Mark Wahlberg movie with the talking teddy bear. The
Sunshine Cake
May 17th, 2012
To celebrate the beginning of the warm weather, I made a refreshingly fruity cake called “Sunshine Cake.” I’ve actually always known it as the Dennis Hepke cake because my mom got the recipe from her coworker – Dennis Hepke – sometime in the 90s. But that seemed like a rather non-descript name so I did
Fruit Pizza

The first time I had a fruit pizza I was about 11 years old at the house of one of my girl friend’s. Her mother had made one. It was love at first bite! The fruit combined with the cream cheese and the sugar cookie crust just seemed perfect together. I only had one slice,
Nutella Trifle – Beyond the Brownie Mix No. 1

After some Brownie Mix snafus, I was inspired to start a series that featured the many things you can do with a brownie mix box. You know, beyond just your basic brownie. And I can share such recipes on a monthly basis. Thus “Beyond the Brownie Mix” was born! The snafu that started it all…
