Skinnier PB Oreo Mini-Cheesecakes
I love riddles. Really, they’re fun!
What do you do with a drunken sailor early in the morning? Um…I’ll get back to you.
Why do men only eat one bite of dessert and leave the rest? Because they’re from another planet. I think there’s a book about that.
Why don’t I sound like Idina Menzel when I sing Let it Go? Because I was never married to Taye Diggs.
What do you do with leftover cheesecake batter? Make these!
Raspberry Cheesecake Brownies
Today I took my kids to a splash playground. It sounded like a good idea at the time. But several hours and one indecent exposure later, I’m not so sure.
My son went into the bathroom to change. On the way, he must’ve dropped his Spider-Man underwear. He burst out of the bathroom in the nude in front of everyone, screaming, “I can’t find my underpants!”
Ah, kids. Can’t live with them. But I sure can’t live without them.
Birthday Cake Mini-Cheesecakes
My birthday is coming up later next week, y’all. Feel free to shower me with gifts! I’m not picky. I’ll take just about anything. Except thrift shop clothing. No matter how hard I try, I just can’t jump on that bandwagon.
I was at a meeting the other week and a woman I really like started talking trash about people who celebrate “birthday month” or “birthday week.” I wanted to yell at her. A lot. Because heck yeah, it’s my birthday month! Eat that, you meanie!
Except I like her. Just not when it comes to birthdays.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake
Why are Sundays so exhausting? Seriously. I’ve never liked Sunday. At best, it feels like a last gasp of freedom all day, and it’s also consumed by errands or playdates or birthday parties or other activities that make my feet hurt.
If Friday is the best day (which I believe it is, since anticipation is the key to all pleasure), Sunday is the worst for the same reason. So I try to have a nice Sunday treat to look forward to, or even a few. My husband and I do date night on Sundays because even though we’re too tired to go out, we get a second wind (or a fifteenth?), and I love that. And it’s always great to have a food treat around, too!
Toffee Bars (Dairy-Free!)
Some recipes are more special than others, and there are always reasons behind that. Food ties in strongly to childhood and nostalgia, and that’s why these bars strike a particularly deep chord within me.
Along with Entenmann’s chocolate frosted donuts. Man, do I yearn for those on an almost daily basis. But we’ll get into that one another day!
Carrot Cake Whoopie Pies
I’m starting to feel it. The sense of looming dread begins as August begins and summer starts its slow descent toward autumn. Sorry about the gloom, everyone. But as much as I love summer, I hate how short it is! Shakespeare wrote that “Summer’s lease hath all too short a date.” Duh, Will. Tell me something I don’t know, okay?
Someday I’m going to live in a warm climate. Someday.
But for now, I just have to do things to keep myself from getting all maudlin. Enter these whoopie pies!
