Kahlua Pie has been a family favorite at my house for decades. Make it mini or make it full-sized. Just make it! Kahlua Pie has always been a big deal in our family. Nanny made it a lot, especially at Christmas time, when my Uncle Charlie would request it as his “birthday pie” – he …

Tres Leches Cake is a long standing Tex-Mex favorite. The name literally means “three milks”. The three milks we use are evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and half & half. I’ve also heard rumors that some people swap out the evaporated milk for goat’s milk. The idea behind Tres Leches is that the three milks …
Remember the other day when I said my niece and nephew no longer have high fructose corn syrup in their diets? Well, not so surprisingly, that makes ice pop purchasing kinda difficult. This summer has been a never ending parade of learning to read labels for my sister, and a whole lotta saying “No”. That …
Time for another Tex-Mex lesson! What’s a raspado? Quite simply, a snow cone. But raspados are different in that they have more exotic flavors.

Annie and I met randomly when I stumbled upon her post for After Eight cupcakes, and explained to her where the “After Eight” comes from. (It’s the brand name of a mint chocolate candy in the UK) We became fast friends via google chat, and I can honestly tell you she is one of the …
Jamie and I have been friends for a long time, and as far as I’m concerned, she’s an artist. The cupcake may be her canvas of choice, frosting her paint, but she knocks it out of the park with every creation. I’m so grateful to her for offering to cover B&B while I’m away. She’s …
Milisa from Miss In The Kitchen is one of those folks that just popped up on twitter one day as a suggestion, and made me smile every time I saw a tweet. She’s amazingly talented. Did you know she even had her own barbecue sauce business? She sent me a few bottles from the company …
Since making that SoCo Caramel Popcorn last week, I’ve really been on a booze-infused recipe kick. This past Saturday, The Brit and I perused our local Farmer’s Market and I zeroed in on some beautiful sweet cherries right away. Now, I know you’re supposed to use Sour Cherries in traditional pie filling, but I like …
