Today I want to share one of my favorite recipes: Mocha Brownie Tart.  This is super easy and is one of my family’s favorites.  It combines some of my favorite things… brownies, coffee and hazelnuts.  (I am a sucker for hazelnuts!) This is really yummy.  For the past 2 years, Mitch has requested this for […]

Banana Boats… a tasty twist on campfire desserts.

July 24, 2012 8 Comments

I’ve done plenty of camping posts and dessert round-ups, but a few months ago I heard about “Banana Boats” and I knew we had to give them a try on our next camping trip. These were yummy and SO easy to make! You will need: a few bananas, mini-marshmallows, peanut butter, chopped chocolate (or mini […]

Mocha-Caramel Graham Pudding (An easy, make-ahead summer dessert)

July 5, 2012 3 Comments

One of the things I really love about summer-time is that lighter schedules make it easier to have impromptu get-togethers with friends.  Do you ever run into a friend on the street, at the store, whatever and 5 minutes later you’re planning a BBQ or picnic dinner for that evening?  Happens to me all the time […]

June 11, 2012 Leave a Comment

We had some friends over for dinner Saturday night for an easy BBQ.  (It wasn’t a last minute thing, but it wasn’t exactly on the books for weeks either.)    I realized that our friends Rick and Rose both had birthdays this week.  Not wanting to make this A Birthday Party, but still wanting to […]

A S’Mores Recipe Round-Up (since I can’t wait for summer…)

January 27, 2012 8 Comments

Ah, camping and summer vacations… Ah, S’Mores…. Ah, Pinterest. We’re starting to plan our summer camping trip and vacations.  It’s got me thinking about S’Mores.  I love them, but sometimes they are hard to make, (or messy) or your vacation plans are taking you someplace that isn’t good for S’Mores Making. Pinterest has some answers […]

Deep Fried Ice Cream…? Yes, please! Laura from OHJN shows us how.

July 17, 2011 7 Comments

I’m on my first full day of camping today.  We camp near Lake Tahoe each year and when I was a kid, one of the best parts of the trip was to drive in to Lake Tahoe for the afternoon, do a little shopping, and have lunch at Carlos Murphy’s.  My favorite thing on their […]

Apples Malloy: the dessert that will turn you into a piggy. (Or maybe that’s just me.)

June 5, 2011 60 Comments

A few months back I was at a pot luck beach party.  There was a vast array of food to choose from.  One that I had never seen before had sliced Granny Smith apples and some sort of cream cheese and chocolate chip concoction to dip the apples in. I took a tentative bite.  I […]
