Brownies

I must admit; when I found these brownies, I was hoping that they would be warm and fudgy brownies.  I am not a huge fan of cakey brownies.  Unfortunately, these are very cake-like.  Brad loved them for that, but it was definitely not what I wanted from them.  You have been warned!

White Chocolate Lemon Cookies

I have mentioned it before, but on occasion I like to bake during the week before Brad gets home.  It is a nice treat for him.  The other day he kept mentioning his love for cookies.  I am not sure if that was a hint or not, but I decided to try to find a new recipe.  I wanted something with lemon and white chocolate chips.  I found a recipe that I happened to have most of the ingredients, so I made it!

Pudding Dessert

On Mother's Day night we were looking for a super easy dessert to make.  I had a few things in the pantry, so I did some googling.  I found a pudding dessert recipe.  I did not use even half of the ingredients that it called for, but I did use the ones I had and wanted.  Check out my variation below.

Oatmeal Cookies

So Mondays tend to be my most productive days around the house.  I also plan to cook the most complex meals of the week on Mondays.  Some Mondays I even feel the need to make dessert.  I usually try to make something that will last all week, and one that Brad can take to work.  Brad loves cookies.  I knew I had some oats, but I did not have any butter.  So I googled until I found a cookie recipe without butter.  I made a few tweaks to the original.  Check it out below.

Cadbury Egg Crescent Roll

One of my favorite Easter chocolates is Cadbury Caramel Eggs.  Sometimes, we love these chocolates so much, we buy way too many.  Or maybe we receive a few too many in our Easter baskets.  Either way, the recipe below is a great and delicious way to use up those Cadbury Eggs...maybe even for breakfast!  Chocolate for breakfast is a good plan to me!

Bananas with Caramel

This week's recipe comes from The Biggest Loser's Family Cookbook.  Walmart carries this cookbook as do many other retailers.  I don't use this cookbook enough, but it really does have some great recipes in it.  I am trying to eat healthier, and after dinner one night, I was still slightly hungry.  Instead of over-indulging with chips, ice cream, or chocolate, I fixed my sweet tooth with the Bananas and Caramel recipe.  It is really, really simple and is fairly healthy (although you could swap out the caramel I used for some fat-free or sugar-free kinds).
