Twix Brownies
Skip to Recipe The part of me that wants to create delicious things is often at war with the side of me that is lazy as heck. Sometimes, I want cake, but I want to nap just a little bit more. Other times, it’s the other way around. There are days where I can totally
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.

Caramel Macchiato Cupcakes
Skip to Recipe I have a love/hate relationship with coffee. While I like coffee-flavored things, I don’t actually like to drink coffee. Some people like that black, unsweetened concoction to just punch them in the face with caffeine. I, on the other hand, prefer to add enough sweeteners and flavorings that I almost forget that
Snickers Brownie Peanut Butter Ice Cream Cake
Skip to Recipe One day, about a year or two ago, a recipe for a Snickers Brownie Peanut Butter Ice Cream Cake showed up on my news feed. After I picked my jaw up off the floor, I made a mental note to try making it someday. Then, I forgot about it until I happened
Red Velvet Ice Cream Sandwiches
Skip to Recipe Okay, I lied. I am totally posting a “red” recipe in February for Valentine’s Day. But, I got inspired and decided that this recipe deserved a posting. I mean, they’re HEART-SHAPED! What other month of the year could I get away with this!? Exactly. Besides, it’s kind of cheating because it’s simply combining two
