I wanted to make my daughter's birthday cake and wanted to make it very simple because the summer has been nearly 100 degrees every day. A couple months prior, I did some research on Pinterest and Ebay. Found an item on Ebay that had 12 Bubble Guppies pieces for $7.99 + $5.99 shipping/handling. Figured for $14 she could also play with the pieces later...Read More

I've wanted to make this dessert for years now. Finally I decided it would be the perfect dessert for the hot summer days and 4th of July parties. I decided to double the recipe and make it 2 different ways. I did one in a Tupperware container that I could leave at a party and not worry about getting the dish back. I made one in my trifle bowl, and then decided to purchase those individual sponge cake shells...Read More

I've wanted to make key lime pie for the last ten years. Ever since Kenny Chesney's Key Lime Pie song came out. Not many restaurants make it. Living in California I couldn't really find it anywhere. You almost have to go to Florida for a delicious slice of heaven. Because I wanted it to be successful the first time around, I decided to go with Celebrity Chef Emeril Lagasse's recipe. So glad I did...Read More

The first time I had the red velvet cheesecake was at our friend Jen’s baby shower. Her favorite is the ULTIMATE RED VELVET CAKE CHEESECAKE you can find at The Cheesecake Factory.

April 8, 2015 would be our dear friend Emily’s birthday...

Anyone who has taken a bite of this $44.00 Milk Bar best selling pie, immediately knows the reason for the sassy name. Once you start eating this gooey rich butter filled, salty-sweet pie with its toasted oat cookie crust, you won't be able to stop. A recreation of the famous Crack Pie from Momofuku Milk Bar in NYC.

This pie comes together quickly and won't hog oven space as it chills and sets in the fridge (a great make-ahead option). You can use decaf instant coffee granules instead of regular, or leave them out entirely for a silky-smooth chocolate pie with vanilla topping.Read More

Chocolate, sweet, salty, and irresistible. These treats are super easy to make. Most of you have tried my chocolate crack recipe or the pretzel bark. This is a lot like the chocolate crack but I used Saltine crackers instead of graham crackers. Make all three and tell me which one is the best. Scroll down for all 3 recipes. ENJOY!Read More

I took some time off from Crossfit. #1 because I was pregnant and #2 because I found out I had bulging discs on my spine. Not sure what from, but assume after all these years of random training: karate, cheerleading, softball, triathlons, Half Ironman, riding my bike in AIDS Lifecycle from San Francisco to L.A. in one week (545 miles), Crossfit, Bikram, crashing a few times on my dirt bike, and so on.....Read More
