I don’t often make peanut butter cookies at home. Don’t get me wrong, I love them to the ends of the earth. But my incredibly British husband didn’t grow up with peanut butter, and finds the taste off-putting. I know. I don’t know how I married him either, but it turns out he’s a pretty …

Mixed Berry Mascarpone Scones are sweeter than sweet, with a delightful “cream tea” flavor to them that can’t be beat. Mascarpone makes them wonderful. You know how sometimes you get an idea in your head and it just won’t go away? That’s where these Mixed Berry Mascarpone Scones come from. You see, I have a …
Coconut oil banana muffins have a delectable crumb topping that makes them hard to resist. They make a fantastic breakfast any day of the week. My first Mother’s Day is coming up. It’s pretty monumental. For the last few years, it’s been a somber occasion inside my brain. Infertility can do that to a girl. …
Cranberry Pumpkin Spice Scones combine my favorite flavors of Fall into one delicious treat. I eat them for breakfast and tea time, and you should too! You know, I’ve come to realize that I miss baking. More often than not, I let the kid and the job come first, which of course, they should. But …
Candy Corn White Chocolate Blondies use Hershey’s seasonal treat to make them special. Every bite is something special. Oh, Target. Whenever any holiday approaches, from 4th of July to Thanksgiving, Target becomes a dangerous place for me to be. I just can’t resist the seasonal stuff. Be it in the dollar aisle or the seasonal …
The best fajita marinade! It’s the only one you’ll ever need to make chicken, beef, or shrimp fajitas full of flavor. Fajitas are one of those things that became trendy in the 80s. Before restaurants started offering them, I remember my mom being able to get a piece of skirt steak big enough to feed …
Overnight Bananas Foster French Toast is perfect for Father’s Day breakfast. Sweet, caramelized bananas with a hint of rum turn this overnight french toast from comforting to OH WOW! Father’s Day this year is pretty special around here. It’s James’s first, just like Mother’s Day was mine, and I want to make it extra special. …
Caramel Apple Pie is luscious and perfect for your holiday table. You will adore all that extra caramel! Okay, so it’s not really the “season” for caramel apple pie, but I’m never one to let the season stop me when I’ve got a craving. There’s still plenty of great apples popping up at my local …
Strawberry Lemon Cupcakes are light and sweet, and full of tart lemon flavor. The strawberry buttercream is impossible to resist. I feel sorry for winter babies. Being one myself, I know the envy that is birthday pool parties, slip and slides and barbecue parties, or, well, pretty much any outdoor party you can think of. …
Sugared pecans are a time honored Texas tradition. They’ve been on many a holiday table in my lifetime, though this spicier version is new to me. New, and completely addicting! I’m especially excited to share this Texas tradition with the Food Fanatic family on Christmas day. I know that many folks think of pecans and …
