Roasted Marshmallow Frosted Cupcakes

This is such a great way to frost cupcakes when you don't have regular frosting...plus it's so quick to do and tastes great!

Almond Joy Ice Cream

I love Almond Joy candy bars! I once tried a recipe called 'Almond Joy Cake Mix Cookies'...they were VERY good!

So it was only natural that I try to make Almond Joy Ice Cream! And I'm so glad I did because it was Almond Joy heaven! It tasted just like the candy bar! My family totally loved it! I took this ice cream recipe that I tried recently 'Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream' and tweaked it to make my Almond Joy ice cream.

Watermelon Used 3 Ways

I bought a gi-gundo watermelon a few days ago! Now I needed to find LOTS of things to do with it! So my hunt began for all things watermelon! So far I decided to make the 3 recipes shown here. I loved all of them equally.

Stabilized Whipped Cream Icing

I'm not much of a baker...well, I bake occasionally but I don't know all the tricks that good bakers know! I couldn't figure out how to keep my whipped cream from melting as soon as I took it out of the fridge.

Mango/Banana Sorbet

I'm totally loving my new ice cream maker! I just made this recipe called Mango Sorbet from Allrecipes.com. This was another activity for my Allstar Ambassador Program...and it was goooood! Below is the ingredients I used to make the sorbet because I didn't have all the ingredients listed in the original recipe. This frozen dessert was so easy to prepare!

S'mores Pops

As one of my activities for the Allrecipes.com Brand Ambassador Program for the month of June, I was asked to make some recipes that remind me of summer. I chose the following recipe for that very reason...S'mores is just one of those food items that is made time and time again during the summer months! But these treats are delicious ANY time of year!
 This version is a simple idea taken from the traditional S'mores recipe. My family loved it! And I loved how easy it was to make and keep stored for whenever that S'mores craving hits you!

Apple Pie Egg Rolls with a Caramel Drizzle

I love to find new ways to make apple desserts! I also had some leftover won ton wrappers that I need to use before they expired. So I went searching on Pinterest and found a recipe called

Wacky Ingredients, With Delicious Results!

I found this recipe on the Internet and its a real gem! The ingredients sound wacky but they become a delicious, dark, rich, earthy, smokey, slightly sweet but savory gravy! You'll want to lick the dish clean, like I did! The ingredients are all the things you probably have in your fridge right now!
This recipe is by a cook known as Divalicious, from Grouprecipes.com. The photo is my own.



Wacky But Amazing Pork Chops in Gravy

Banana Split Mini Bites!

Aren't these just the CUTEST little desserts you've ever seen?

Well take it from me...don't try these unless your making them for no more than 2 people! What a huge pain in the neck these were to make! Here is a list of problems...

Caramel Covered Grapes!

These caramel covered green grapes tastes ALOT like caramel apples! I saw this on...

Red, White and Blue Strawberries!

I saw this idea on Pinterest and thought it was so cute for the upcoming Memorial Day weekend! This would also be perfect for the 4th of July...or Veteran's Day...or Election Day...or...well you get the idea!

I don't think I have to write the directions for this, but just in case...this is strawberries dipped in melted white chocolate then dipped in blue colored sugar. The colored sugar can be found in the cake decorating section of most grocery stores!

*~*~*~*~*~*

And this is another fun thing to do with fruit!

White chocolate chips stuffed into blackberries!

This gives the fruit a nice balance of tart and sweet!

Don't Believe Everything You See On Pinterest!!!

I saw this recipe for 'Strawberry Smores' on Pinterest! It was one of those recipes that was 'Re-Pinned' a lot!!! The photo looked soooo inviting and delicious! It also sounded VERY easy to make! WRONG!!!!

I Can't Believe I Made It!!!

I never realized how easy it is to make homemade ice cream!!! So why doesn't everyone make their own? Is it because they don't know how easy it is? Do I have the only ice cream machine that makes it this easy? I can't believe that all I had to do was mix a few common ingredients into a bowl and then add it to my ice cream maker! Then I just turned on the switch and 20 minutes later I had this delicious, cold, creamy creation!

This is my new ice cream machine that I won in a Facebook giveaway. This is such a great invention.

There is only one flaw with this machine. The manufacturer should have made it so that the ice cream machine cannot be opened until the ice cream is done being made! I kept eating scoops of fresh made ice cream through the opening in the top. Not a good idea if you want to share this ice cream with your family.

Ice Cream Cake...2 Ways!

Buying store bought ice cream cakes can be so very expensive...and you can't always get the flavors you want! So I decided a few years ago to learn how to make it myself...not the ice cream part! That I still buy, but I will be making that myself soon also!

 Here I will show you 2 ways to make ice cream cakes! One way is so simple and only takes minutes. The other way is slightly harder and needs to be prepared a few days in advance. But either way, you'll save lots of money and you can customize the flavors in so many ways!

Almond Joy Cake Mix Cookies

Well, if you do, you'll absolutely LOVE these cake mix cookies! They're so VERY easy to make...20 minutes from start to finish! And they really taste like Almond Joy candy bars!

Unfried Ice Cream

I made this recipe and it is amazingly good! I found this on a cooking site! It was posted by a cook named Donna Sherwood. I'm so glad I tried this because it tasted a lot like the fried ice cream that I always order from my favorite Mexican restaurant! But this is NOT fried, so it's easy to make!

This Snack is 'to die for'...

This recipe was created by a foodie named CrazyCooker. I have made this recipe MANY times! This is one of those snacks that you just can't stop eating til it's all gone...and then you'll probably lick the plate clean!

Frozen Chocolate Banana Bites!

This was a recipe I found on a blog called Never Homemaker! I tried it and loved it! So easy to make and eat! I used milk chocolate chips instead of vegan chips!  Sorry, but I don't even know what vegan chips are! This is what my banana bites looked like.
