Wine Infused Strawberries

There's something about strawberries that makes me think of warmth, sweetness, and the changing of the seasons. Or maybe that's just the wine in these Wine Infused Strawberries that has me feeling really good about life today. Seriously, I didn't think the concept of chocolate-covered strawberries, as simple as it is, could ever be improved upon. But I suppose if there's anything I should have learned about life so far, it's that the addition of wine to just about anything is a recipe for success. And speaking of recipes...let me give you the rundown on how to step up your strawberry Keep Reading >>>

Candy-Dipped Valentine’s Day Oreos

Death By Dessert

Now I don't know about you, but I'm a little tired of getting the same old heart-shaped box of chocolates every single year on Valentine's Day. There's only so many times you can open the box before the mystery of which chocolate contains the delicious peanut butter filling is lost because you know exactly which one it is. I mean really, if I'm going to continue this tradition of drowning my sorrows over another year of being single with a bottle of cheap wine and enough chocolate and candy to make a trick-or-treater jealous, I should at least switch things up in the food department a Keep Reading >>>

Valentine’s Day Sugar Cookie Dough Bark

Death By Dessert

There's something about sugar cookies that just make them perfect for holiday celebrations. So obviously, I decided not to make any of them for Valentine's Day this year. No way, not me. 2016 is the year of experimentation (I had a year like that during college too...we see where that got me), so a few heart-shaped sugar cookies with red frosting just aren't going to cut it. Instead, I made this Valentine's Day Sugar Cookie Dough Bark. Same sugar cookie goodness, but with a twist.

Red Velvet Whoopie Pie

Death By Dessert

My college roommate was addicted to anything red velvet, including this Red Velvet Whoopie Pie. Even now if I spot anything red velvet in the store, I make sure to buy it and send it to her.

Here's to you, roomie, and to all you other red velvet addicts out there. Enjoy!

Nutella Candied Apples

Death By Dessert

If anyone were to ask me, "What is the one thing you'd want to eat if you could eat nothing else for the rest of your life," I wouldn't hesitate. Nutella. "But what about," they might say, and I'd interrupt, "No, Nutella."

5 Minute Easy Coconut Macaroons

Death By Dessert

We all have our favorite cookie. My mom has always loved ginger snaps. Growing up, if there weren't ginger snaps in a container somewhere in the cupboard, it meant my mom was making more later that day. I've always been a fan of coconut macaroons. I absolutely love the creamy texture of the coconut mixed with the crispy toasted coconut on top. Sometimes we'd dip them in chocolate, but most of the time my favorite way to eat them was five minutes out of the oven, still warm, with a cold glass of milk. These 5-minute easy coconut macaroons will let you keep this delicious cookie on hand for Keep Reading >>>

Chia Carrot Cupcakes With Orange Cream Cheese Glaze

Death By Dessert

Chia is one of those things that I don't really know a lot about. I just know that it's good for you, you can grow it and sing a catchy song about it. (Ch-Ch-Ch-CHIA!) We know they're a superfood.

Like these Chia Carrot Cupcakes with Orange Cream Cheese Glaze...they're to die for! Or, since chia's super good for you...I suppose you could say they're to live for, but, you know, that's just not as catchy. Enjoy! Chia Carrot Keep Reading >>>

Old Fashioned Bread Pudding With Rum Sauce

Death By Dessert

Confession: I always thought I'd hate bread pudding. The name itself does not sound appetizing. It sounds like bread that's been sitting in goop for too long and getting mushy and now you're trying to convince me to eat it and you're calling it a 'classic dessert'. Um...no, thankyousomuch. But a few years ago while visiting a friend in San Francisco I tried it for the first time and was blown away. While cake has a tendency to be too moist or too dense or too, well, cakey, bread pudding gives your mouth a lot of different textures to explore. It breaks up the sweetness with savory sauces and Keep Reading >>>

DIY Sheet Cake For One

Death By Dessert

If you're like me, you're pretty anxious right now. The world sucks. It's scary, there's threats of war, of nukes, of nazi's (who apparently worry about mosquitos, judging from the tiki torches), and it just sucks. It all sucks. Know what, though?

My Husband Never Tried A Funnel Cake Before Now…How Is That Even Possible?

Death By Dessert

I grew up doing rodeo, which meant that carnivals were my playground. Carnie food was my vending machine. There are a number of foods that people associate with the state fair or a traveling carnival that I associate with my childhood. All of it. Some foods you can get just about anywhere. Cornie dogs, cotton candy and popcorn are some things that aren't just for the fair. But there's one thing that, for the most part, has remained a staple of fair food: the funnel cake. And somehow my husband had never tried one...how is that even possible? My Husband Never Tried A Funnel Cake Keep Reading >>>

If You Don’t Like Peeps, We Can’t Be Friends

Death By Dessert

Peeps. Everyone has an opinion on Peeps. There has never been a more controversial topic around the family Easter table that has resulted in so much thrown ham. They are either a perennial Easter favorite or a much maligned “last treat in the basket” candy. Some adults have fond memories of these sugar coated marshmallows shaped like little baby chicks and bunnies. Others have fond memories of microwaving those suckers until they explode in a miniature reenactment of the last scene in the 1984 classic Ghostbusters film. Here's the thing: if you don't like Peeps, I'm not sure we can be friends. Keep Reading >>>

Chocolate Race Cars

I was one of those kids who loved to collect Hot Wheels cars. I had to have all the colors, all the styles, and all the tracks to go with them. To be fair, it didn't really matter if they were actual Hot Wheels brand cars or not - every car was welcome - but if I had known it would take me about 20 years or so to finally find the perfect type of car, I think even my kid-sized brain would have been smart enough to just not even start.

Easter is on the horizon, and with it come the squishiest and most confusing of candies: Peeps. And I have to admit, I have a little bit of an obsession with these strange marshmallow-y things.
