Southern Boys…Bake Jenny’s Double Stuffed Oreo Cookies ~ Picky Palate Cookbook Giveaway

May 14, 2013

Mother’s Day this past weekend was sweet in so many ways. Usually the guys “surprise me” with breakfast in bed but this year my siblings and I went to our favorite breakfast house with mom.

Frozen Strawberry Yogurt Pops

February 14, 2013

As you can imagine Valentine’s Day with a house full of surfers isn’t exactly dripping in crimson and fuchsia, nor is it bursting with balloons and I am more than okay with that.

Southern S’mores Cookies & Camp Monkey

December 10, 2012

Our boys will probably never sleep in their rooms again and it’s all my fault. Yes siree, I have started something that is going to be difficult to break purely out of selfish reasons.

Chocolate Cream Pie With Banana Whipped Cream

June 20, 2012

As most of you know, I am a wee bit intimidated by pie. So much so that I avoided baking this beauty until nearly midnight last evening. Silly I know but I’m getting there guys. As of today, this will make pie number 3 and I have to say this pie may be the one [...]

Mini Reese’s Cup Brownies with Graham Cracker Crust ~ {Truvia Baking Blend}

May 24, 2012

Back in April while I was suffering from ostrichitis, a bag of sweetness arrived at my door. I’ve been meaning to play around in the kitchen with it for a while now but as you all can imagine it took a little longer than I realized to shake the sand from my brain.
