Peanut-Filled Devil’s Food Cupcakes
These cupcakes are amazingly moist and soft! The filling tastes just like a Reese’s Cup! If you are a peanut butter and chocolate combo freak, these cupcakes are the perfect solution to ease your cravings! The recipe calls for a ganache frosting but I was in a hurry when I made these, so I just frosted them with regular chocolate frosting and they were still super-awesome! Happy baking…happy eating!

Orange Chocolate Bliss Pie
My daughter Emily and I LOVE to come up with new recipes. She is 13, so anything we can do together without it errupting into a pout fest or fashion show is a bonus! Cooking is something we love to do. This is a recipe we came up with and published in our church’s cookbook.

Fabulous Peach Torte
Here in historic St. Augustine we have this amazing lighthouse. You can see this sucker for miles! At the base of the lighthouse is a quaint little gift shop. It was in this gift shop that I found a cook book called “Lighthouse Secrets: A Collection of Recipes from the Nation’s Oldest City.” This has become one of my favorite cook books of all time! My husband and I recently celebrated our 16th wedding anniversary. We had planned to go out to dinner to celebrate, but I wanted to make something special for dessert when we got home. We are always so full in the restaurant and can never enjoy…

Cupcakes Anyone?
Ok, so I’m trying to come up with something dessert-ish for the kid’s lunches the other day and I thought about making cupcakes! The only problem with cupcakes in lunches is if you put the frosting on the top it will be a horrible mess by the time they get to lunch…not to mention the fact that there is practically no way to wrap a cupcake to even put it in a lunchbox in the first place. (Note to self, Self…invent a cupcake box similar to the neat sandwich ones they have at Wal-Mart!) Well, until I get to inventing the cupcake box I will simply do what I did…
