Ok…so not the best picture in the world, but I promise you this cake was the BOMB.COM!! lol! I LOVE Texas Sheet Cake. It takes me back to living in Chicago with Teri and the Sears familia.

Friday night I got together with a group of my girlfriends from work. We played Mad Gab and had some yummy snacks. I have been dying for an excuse to make cupcake pops (as photographed above) since I saw them posted on Bakerella.com. And then I saw that she had a party at the Pioneer Womans and I knew I had to give in (heehee) and make these! I’ll be honest…I didn’t totally love the flavor of the cake and frosting when I first made it, but I tried it the next day and it tasted a lot better. In the future I’ll definitely not use the entire can of frosting and I want to try new flavors. The girls liked them so I guess that’s all that mattered! It was really easy and fun to make too! Enjoy! Cupcake Pops 1 Box Cake Mix (Any...

I was craving some hot fudge today. Probably because Jon bought vanilla ice cream and root beer. I’m not a huge fan of root beer floats, but I do love hot fudge sundaes!

Microwave for 30 seconds. Stir. Microwave another 30 seconds. Stir. Then pour over some ice...

Ok…so I was on Bakerella’s website and found this recipe! How could I possibly pass it up? Obviously, I couldn’t! heehee. I know. I’m supposed to be losing weight, but I couldn’t resist. I promise you these were EASY and DELICIOUS!! You’ve got to try it. If you’re a coupon person you’re in luck because this will probably be one of the cheapest desserts you’ll find because all it calls for is one box Betty Crocker Brownie Mix and one Betty Crocker Chocolate Chip Cookie mix. Just follow the directions on the brownie mix and on the cookie mix. Pour the brownie mix into a 9×13 inch pan. Then drop cookie dough by rounded tablespoon. I pressed my cookie dough into the brownie batter. Bake at 350 degrees for...

So, Jon and I have been moving for the last couple of days and its been pretty boring. You know, all work and no play…not my idea of fun. To reward our hard work (ok..not really that hard since we’re only moving across the parking lot, but still) I made a treat. It’s called Ooey-Gooey S’more Bars…I got the recipe off my friend Amy’s blog. Oh boy were they delicious!
