As much as I hate to admit it, I’m somewhat of an emotional eater. I try my hardest to eat healthy and enjoy my baked goods in moderation but sometimes things just hit the fan and I find myself at Chick-Fil-A, Taco Bell, and Pizza Hut all in one week. (Last week suuuuuucked.) And when…

Chocolate Truffle Pie
This is the pie I made for my birthday. I had it for lunch and dinner yesterday. And it was awesome. It’s so not something I’d normally choose to make for myself. I’m a big fan of the grocery store cakes with the thick white buttercream but I’ve been dreaming about this pie for weeks now….
Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Pie
Fact: I am having the worst time with pastry these days. I don’t know if it’s the dry winter air or what but everything’s falling apart on me. Another fact: This pie is not going to cut nicely for you. But no one will care because it’s delicious. One more fact: I really intended to have a…
Cinnamon Apple Pie with Raisins and Crumb Topping
Time again for a Secret Recipe Club post! I hit the jackpot with my secret blog this month: Kristine’s Kitchen. Kristine has healthy food, naughty food, and everything in between. After sorting through her blog, I tweeted: I got a bunch of replies telling me to let the husband choose and decided to pick the…
Peach Cobbler
The past few times I’ve gone to the grocery store, I’ve made the mistake of taking my husband and both boys. I’m sure you understand the problem with this. They. Want. Everything. Every cookie, every cereal, every ice cream, and in the case of my 4 year old, every piece of fruit. So I ended…
Coconut Cream Flan
My turn to choose the Project Pastry Queen recipe again! I went with a recipe that I had never even noticed in the book: Coconut Cream Flan. Flan has such a bad reputation but I stand by my belief that anyone who doesn’t like it, just hasn’t tried a good recipe. It’s so sweet and…
Peanut Butter-Banana Cream Pie with Hot Fudge Sauce
This week’s Project Pastry Queen recipe was chosen by Josie of Pink Parsley and she chose the amazingly delicious Peanut Butter-Banana Cream Pie with Hot Fudge Sauce. And great timing too since tomorrow is Pi Day! I am late posting this because I’ve been procrastinating. See, it was quite the undertaking. Crust, custard, chocolate, peanut…
Pumpkin Maple Pie
I’m about to tell you something that you probably don’t want to hear. Cover your ears eyes if you can’t handle disappointment. Ready? I don’t like pumpkin pie! Not at all. I always thought I did and then one Thanksgiving I had a revelation. It reminds me of baby food in a pie crust….
Pear-Cranberry Pie with Oatmeal Streusel
I know, I know, more cranberries. I just can’t help myself though! The combination of pears and cranberries was too good to pass up. The pie was very simple and would be perfect on any holiday dessert buffet. The oatmeal streusel topping is a nice change from a double crust fruit pie. The brown sugar…
Apple Custard Pie
My parents recently brought back some food goodies from their Tennessee vacation, including some big, beautiful apples. I’m usually not a huge fan of fruity desserts, but I really wanted to try these apples in a pie. I didn’t want a typical double-crust pie though and after a lot of searching, I settled on an…
Strawberry, Blueberry, Peach Cobbler
You guys get Cooking Light magazine, right? Please tell me you do. If you don’t, order now. You won’t regret it. So those of you that do get it, did you die a little when you saw the cobbler on the most recent cover? Or was I the only one that happened to? I have…
