In my family, we like to do A LOT of baking around the holidays. One of our favorite Christmas recipes is Christmas Crack. It is a sweet and salty treat made with saltine crackers topped with a caramelized mixture and then chocolate. You let the whole thing harden and then CRACK it before enjoying. I decided to take that treat and put a different spin on it to create Halloween Crack. This is a great treat for any Halloween party or just to enjoy at home. Try it out today!
These soft and chewy Butterfinger Crunch Cookies have the perfect chocolate and peanut butter crunch! I love to enjoy these warm with that amazing gooey center and bites of caramelized crunch throughout. If you are a chocolate and peanut butter fanatic like me, you will go wild for these cookies!
Okay, I am going to put myself out there and hope you don’t all hate me. I have a confession – I don’t LOVE all of the pumpkin things that pop up each fall. Pumpkin spice latte? Not for me! Pumpkin pie? No thanks! Also, I am SUPER picky about my sweet breads, because there is nothing I hate more than a dry bread. Don’t even waste my time with that! With all that being said, this Cream Cheese Pumpkin Bread may just be my new favorite fall recipe! It is moist, loaded with pumpkin and spice flavor and it has a fantastic rich cream cheese center.
Two of my favorite foods are pasta and beans and when you put them together, they create one of my favorite soups. Pasta E Fagioli, or Pasta with Beans is such a flavorful and comforting soup that is easy to make and will warm you up on a cool fall or winter night. This is a great soup to have as an appetizer or as a your meal. I love to make a big pot of this and enjoy it for lunch for several days in a row. Try this recipe out today, and you will see why!
This Slow Cooker Birria Recipe is one of my family’s favorites! It is absolutely delicious, and you can enjoy it in so many ways. We love to make barrio tacos or quesadillas with this meat, but it is also great all by itself, or served on a salad. The beef slow cooks all day, and it will fill your home with the most tempting smells. Be careful – your neighbors may show up asking what time dinner is!
Since moving to St. Louis the first time about 9 years ago, I have been a HUGE fan of Gooey Butter Cake. This stuff is everywhere around here, and it is easy to see why – it is amazing! You can make or buy just about any flavor you can imagine of this gooey creation, and lemon is probably one of my favorites. Lemon desserts are always a win in my book, so I decided to share this crowd pleaser with you! Try out my Lemon Gooey Butter Cake today!
I absolutely LOVE seasonal baking! Christmas baking is probably my favorite, and there is an abundance of recipes for that holiday, but you know what other holiday I have so much fun making treats for? Halloween! The vibrant contrasting colors associated with halloween create the most eye-catching and just plain fun desserts. These Funfetti Cheesecake Halloween Cookies are easy to make, absolutely delicious and they are perfect for any halloween event!

This Apple Crisp in the Slow Cooker requires only 3 ingredients, a couple minutes of prep. time and your appetite! You simply put the ingredients in your slow cooker, cover and let it do it’s thing. When it is done, top it with some vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce and then go ahead and send me a thank you note. HA! Honestly though, this is one of those easy desserts that you will keep coming back to time and time again, and your family will be begging you to make it.
