Sweets

Sweets make the world go round. What would life be like with no sugary baked goods…I shudder. My favorite movie scene is in the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. When they walk into the room with all things edible, that is what pure imagination can do right? I often dream of a chocolate river in my living room. My imagination always takes me to sugar and sweets. So when I need a recipe, I am usually thinking of a dessert recipe! While all my desserts are sweets, some of the following sweets aren’t desserts, like breakfast breads or muffins!

Banana Muffins

Published 08.20.2013 | By Raven Chelanee

Breakfast is my lazy meal. I don’t feel like cooking anything in the morning and I am most likely running out the door anyways, so who has time for stacks of pancakes, bacon, eggs, fruit salad, and all that good stuff that I would love to eat instead of a handful of grapes? The only solution I have found are muffins. Fresh muffins, baked up on a Sunday afternoon, ready for the week. Just pop one of the mellow muffins into the microwave for a good 10 seconds and bam! You have a warm ready to go breakfast, with the handful of grapes. The easiest muffin recipe I know is for Banana Muffins. One bowl and a spatula is all you need to prepare the batter and then bake in a muffin tin. Just wait until some overly ripe bananas fall into your lap and you are good to go. Overly ripe bananas are best to use over unripe, or ripe bananas because the banana flavor is much more pronounced and the mushy gushy banana lends to a moister muffin. (Moister is a weird word if you keep saying it over & over)

Delicious Rating: Yummy yummy in my tummy. Moist, doesn’t fall apart on you, filling breakfast, and just delicious. I love how you can individually wrap them in saran or foil and freeze them. Pop them out and let the muffin come to room temp in about 5 minutes and heat up in the microwave. They taste like they came fresh out of the oven. Easy recipe, perfect for breakfast.

Triple Chocolate Fudge

Published 06.24.2013 | By Raven Chelanee

Chocolate. Who can resist this rich creamy delectable goodness? A melt -in-your-mouth decadent moment of pure indulgence…(shivers) That moment, that perfect moment when chocolate comes into contact with your taste buds and everything in the world stops, just for a moment, but it is in that moment that you know you cannot live without chocolate!

Okay, I will stop with all the dramatics! I love chocolate, more so in the last few years. If you are a chocolate lover than this recipe is definitely for you. Three distinct chocolates come together in perfect harmony in this easy fudge recipe. I used a 100% unsweetened chocolate, Milk Chocolate, and White Chocolate. None of them compete or overpower, rather they really do harmonize together all the while standing on their own.

Delicious Rating: Yummy – Delicious- Addictive -So Good! This easy recipe is perfect for pairing with the late night glass of wine, a sweet snack during the day, or for company and friends. I have had fudge that I do not care for but this recipe doesn’t taste ‘fake’ or ‘processed’. It is rich, so give it a try and tell me how you prefer in your chocolate fudge!

No Bake Cheesecake

No Bake Cheesecake

Ignore the horrible photos and focus on the cheesecake. Delicious, creamy, rich cheesecake. Dreamy melt-in-your-mouth cheesecake. An easy recipe that takes absolutely no work and no oven. I love a good no bake cheesecake. No water baths to worry about or cracks in the cheesecake. Wondering if it has baked long enough or waiting hours on end for it to set and cool. Nope, none of that when dealing with a delicious No Bake Cheesecake. This is my go to recipe for when I want a light dessert that doesn’t skimp on taste and that can be easily prepared and stored in the fridge until I need it.

Delicious Rating: Always a hit when I share… I try to share this cheesecake one out of every three times I make it! Ha! I do make my own graham cracker crust but you can go the even easier route and buy the already made ones from the store which are just as good. I love the canned cherry filling on top but have used fresh strawberries when in season and they are just as delicious, of course. What do you like to top your cheesecake with? Let me know so I can use it next time I make this!

Pinwheel Cookies

Published 05.31.2013 | By Raven Chelanee

No matter how unspectacular a cookie tastes, the way it looks will make it spectacular. Case and point: Pinwheel Cookies. Don’t get me wrong, these cookies are delicious. Simple vanilla and chocolate butter cookies. But there are no bells and whistles with these cookies. What makes them great is the presentation, the way they look. Pinwheels. I have made these on numerous occasions and each time everyone is wowed, I mean, they can’t believe they are eating a homemade pinwheel cookie. “You baked these at home?” If I would have just baked up simple vanilla cookies or chocolate cookies nobody would have asked me that. But make a cool looking design and wham! You got some spectacular cookies. These cookies are made from an easy recipe and are just as easy to assemble.

Delicious Rating: These are delicious butter cookies. My chocolate was perfectly balanced with the vanilla cookie but held its own as well. The cookies will have a firm bottom when baked but the insides are soft and almost, just almost, cakey cookie. But not really. I hope that makes sense!
