White Snack Cake and the most Incredible Whipped Buttercream Frosting
This snack cake is perfect to scratch my itch for a white cake. It’s tender and flavorful. I second that the best frosting does not come out of a can. Homemade Buttercream frosting is so easy to make! This whipped buttercream frosting is incredibly good! My husband and I had a really hard time resisting eating seconds within minutes of our first serving! When I get a craving for cake, I know that
The Ultimate Oven Ribs
These Oven Ribs are indoor barbecue at its finest! The sauce is the star of the show. Seriously, this sauce is so good-- the sweetness of the peach preserves, brown sugar, molasses and paprika, garlic, onion, bacon, thyme. Wow! A bowl of creamy garlic mashed potatoes are perfect with these. NOTE: This post has been updated with new photographs from its original 2010 post date. This
Buttery and Delicious Raspberry Thumbprint Cookies with an Almond Glaze
These Buttery Raspberry Shortbread cookies are one of my favorites. They are tender, buttery and totally addictive. I'm fond of raspberry jam, but you could certainly substitute with apricot, strawberry or pretty any kind of fruit jam that you prefer. The cookies are drizzled with an almond glaze that looks fancy but are quite simple to do. When I first made these, a certain "kitchen mouse"

The Best Microwave Peanut Brittle
Peanut Brittle is one of my (occasional) guilty pleasures. Chewy and crispy candied peanuts made in the microwave? Does that really work? You bet it does! It's fast and easy, and you don't need a candy thermometer. Best of all, it's much cheaper, better (and fresher) than the boxed versions you buy at the store. Strap yourself in, because I'm in candy and cookie baking mode for the holidays!
Chocolate Peppermint Candy Cake
This Chocolate Peppermint Candy cake is a showstopper for your holiday dessert. A moist and tender chocolate cake is frosted with a white chocolate and peppermint frosting. The peppermint, in the frosting, offsets the sweetness of the buttercream. This cake freezes beautifully, if there are any leftovers! While lemon is my chocolate, peppermint comes in as a close second when it comes to
Devils on Horseback
Roasted Garlic Filled Dates, Wrapped in Candied Bacon These devilish appetizers are highly addictive, I warn you. My version, stuffs dates with a roasted garlic clove. The date is wrapped in bacon, and then rolled in brown sugar. When baked, the bacon becomes caramelized. Good luck eating just one! They are a blend of savory, salty and sweet and a perfect holiday appetizer. Craig and I
