Skip to Recipe I never understood the allure of Costco until I borrowed a membership card from a coworker to help out a friend. My presence there was merely as an escort, but I wound up leaving $60 poorer from just arbitrarily throwing things in my cart that looked good and was priced significantly lower

Mango Madness in July – Part 3 (2016 Chapter)
Another year, another Mango Season in South Florida. This is now my third Mango Madness post, as I did this in 2014 and 2015 with great success. But for those of you just tuning in, I will fill you in. During Mango Season, I find myself getting a large quantity of mangoes that I don’t always
Mango Tres Leches
Traditionally, a tres leches cake is a sponge cake that is soaked with a syrup made of three types of milk and then topped with either whipped cream or meringue.

Mini Pumpkin Bundt Cakes
It’s that time of the year when pumpkin treats pop up everywhere. And, since my job recently hosted a craft fair, I thought it would be nice to feature an item that was pumpkin-flavored. So, I made mini pumpkin bundt cakes. You can easily scale this recipe up and make one, large bundt cake. However,
Twix Cake
Skip to Recipe So, a good friend of mine broke her foot the other day. To cheer her up, I offered to make her any type of cake she wanted. She initially asked for a Kit Kat cake. But, some subliminal messaging from another friend, as well as an earlier suggestion from one of my coworkers,
Kit Kat Cake
Skip to Recipe I have a serious problem. I obsess over things. All it takes is for the small seed of an idea to be planted, and the idea grows at an exponential rate and grabs hold of my brain. Then, it won’t let go. It’s this tendency to obsess that will lead me to
