I’d never before tasted Lofthouse-Style cookies. That was, not until I tested the original version of this recipe for Simply Recipes. Cindy Rahe– pastry gal extraordinaire- developed it. Check out the original version here. I’ve passed by the commercial version of these soft sugar cookies plenty of times in the store, sure. The key words there…

Raspberry-Chocolate Ganache Torte
Some people look at architecture and sigh. Others will swoon at the sight of a majestic mountain. Me, myself? I fall to pieces at the sight of a perfect slice of cake. And this shot right here? Gots me all sorts of discombobulated. Taking that first bite? Shooooowwweeeee, child. ‘Twas sinful, indeed. My favorite way…
Buffalo Wing Platter with Blue Cheese Dip
I’m going to give it to you straight: the only reason I care about the big game is because it means food. Baseball is my favorite sport, followed very closely by soccer. Football is a sport I don’t think I’ll ever understand, nor do I care to. Food, though? Food is something I care a great…
Slow Cooker Pulled Pork in Mojo Sauce
You guys! I’m killing this healthy eating thang!! In doing so, I also realize how much I eat rice. I’m a Latina, okay? It’s what we do.

Holiday Leftovers Breakfast Casserole
I’m ready for the holidays to be over; like for real, for real. There are so many airs to put on throughout the holidays- even if it’s unintentional. “Pretend you like this gift, pretend you like that co-worker”…it’s just too much. I’m grateful for the celebration, don’t get me wrong. Time just needs to hustle along. One good…
The Ultimate Gift Guide for Your Junior Chef
The littlest ones in our family want to help us around the house. Children are always trying to assert their independence, and I can think of no better place to allow them to do that than in the kitchen. I found this to be the case when my husband received orders to South Korea. It was…
Salted Vanilla Caramel Sauce for Desserts & More
I looooathe the term “Food Porn”. It’s just so tacky and gross. However, if I had to describe one food as “sensual”, “seductive”, or “illicit”; this Salted Vanilla Caramel Sauce would be it. Just look at it…this…this gooey deliciousness! It’s enough to make you want to eat it with a spoon straight from the jar. Which I have…
Medicine Bomb Chicken Soup
Oh. My. God….I was on my deathbed last week! I saw the light at the end of the tunnel, and all of that! Turns out, I just had an upper respiratory infection, and the light I saw? It was my son shining his flashlight into my face because I had taken Nyquil and he thought…
