It’s Impossible Not To Love These Cookies!

If you love cookies and pecan pie, you will adore this cookie – it’s basically both rolled into one! The cookie part is tender, buttery and a perfect vessel for the gooey pecan filling.

These will be great to serve during the holiday if pie making isn’t your thing. There’s a little prep time for chilling, but overall this is an easy recipe. Plus, once you take your first bite out of one of these darling little cookies you’ll be glad you took the time to make them.

I am a huge fan of pecan pie but my youngest son has a tree nut allergy. So, we usually don’t have pies and other desserts containing tree nuts in our house. Now, that he is older he knows he can’t have these things because they will hurt him so it is a wee bit easier to make a dessert such as a pecan cookie and keep them away from him. My son would never touch them anyway 🙂 I hope you enjoy these pecan pie cookies as much as I do!

Crack The Code To The Most Incredible Dessert EVER

If there is such a thing as Lemon Crumb Bar Eaters Anonymous, please let me know about it. I have developed somewhat of an addiction to these – actually, I think my husband would describe it an obsession. You’ll understand when you give this recipe a try! I kind of wish I had never stumbled upon this recipe – then again, I’m really happy I did!

Ever since I found this recipe I’ve been making these bars for ALL occasions. I’m serious. I’ve made these for birthdays, potlucks and a baby shower. I even made these for our neighbors, for their wedding anniversary. And you have no idea how many times people have asked me for the recipe! That’s why I decided to share it with you here.

I can’t decide whether it’s the crumb topping that’s my favorite thing about these bars, or the beautiful, creamy lemon filling. I just know that I am hopelessly in love with these, and I’m about to make another batch tomorrow. Or maybe tonight!

You May See A Grown Man Cry When You Serve Him This Delightful Pudding

I made an incredible meal for my in-laws a couple of weeks ago. Did that sound like bragging? Sorry. I can’t help it – it really was incredible. I made this scrumptious beef stew with red wine and root vegetables, served it over rice with homemade biscuits, and when it was time for dessert I blew everyone away with this old-fashioned lemon sponge pudding.

My father-in-law fell in love with this the moment he had his first bite. He said it was exactly like the one his late mother had always made, and I was so happy I had been able to bring back those memories with a simple dessert.

When I say “simple”, I mean this is wonderfully easy to make. The flavor is far from simple, though – it’s like jumping into a lemony cloud of happiness! That’s what I love about old recipes; they never let you down. I’m so happy I decided to try this one, it certainly is our new family favorite now!

Who Would Have Thought It Was This Easy To Make!

What do you do when you suddenly realize you’ve just agreed to hosting a huge group of women for a fundraising Bible study event at your church? Well, you go a little crazy at first but then you start organizing things like a mad woman. I’m sure, if any of these ladies had seen me at this point, they never would have chosen me for the job!

I thought I had everything covered already when it hit me; what was I going to serve with coffee? I was literally the only one available for the preparations, so I needed a dessert that was super easy to make for a crowd. I called my mother and all of my sisters until I suddenly remembered my aunt serving this incredible tiramisu for last Thanksgiving.

She gave me the recipe and an hour later I was standing in my kitchen, ready to make a test batch. You think I’d serve a dessert I hadn’t tried making myself yet? Not a chance! Fortunately it turned out amazing, and it was extremely easy to double (actually, triple) the ingredients for my event.

We’re sorry to ruin your diet.

There comes a time in a woman’s life when it’s ok to just enjoy a delicious, creamy dessert without having to feel guilty about it. Actually, I think we should never feel guilty about dessert, but somehow my favorite dress doesn’t always agree with me on that one. I’ve made a deal with that dress; I try it on once a month. If it fits, I eat as many desserts as I like. If it doesn’t, no dessert for me for the next 4 weeks.

Sounds kind of rough but surprisingly, I haven’t had to say no to desserts for a long time! I guess trying it on, on a regular basis, works on an unconscious level or something. I don’t know – I’m not an expert on psychology. But I am an expert on desserts, if I say so myself!

This coconut cream pie here is one of my all-time favorite desserts. It’s easy to make (especially if you’re using store-bought pie crust), it tastes amazing and it’s perfect for pretty much any occasion.

One slice just ain’t gonna cut it!

You’ve tried the lemon, you’ve tried Key lime, but have you ever tried an orange meringue pie? This is a pie my mother used to make every summer, and she got the recipe from her mother. We’d never have this pie any other time of year (although you definitely could!) For us summer was all about the fresh fruits and lazy, sunny days – and this pie brings back all those memories.

If you think all the citrusy meringue pies taste the same, o’boy you’re wrong! I’ve probably tried every variation of them out there, and this one is by far the most delicious. I can’t quite put my finger on it… but I sure want to sink my teeth in it, haha!

Don’t be startled by the lengthy list of ingredients; the recipe is very simple and it will not take you long to have this ready. (And it will only take a minute to have it in your tummy, trust me!) This pie is fancy enough for a special occasion, but you can definitely whip it up on a weeknight just to surprise your family with a mouth-watering dessert.

Quick Tip: You can make a graham cracker crust for this pie, if preferred.

Make sure you are sitting down and holding on to something when you have your first bite of this pie

This one is going to sweep you off your feet! It’s not very often that I manage to make something I think is better than my mother’s, let alone my grandmother’s recipe, but I have to say this lemon meringue pie gets pretty darn close! It’s soft, creamy and fresh; everything you want in a summer dessert. Although I would be quite happy to enjoy this year round!

If you’re short on time, feel free to use a store-bought pie crust for this. The yummy filling and that gorgeous meringue will make sure this turns out super delicious, no matter what!

This pie serves approximately 6, unless you are like me and eat half of it on your own, as soon as you get your hands on it… That’s why I would recommend making two pies at once. One for you, and one for the rest of the family!

If lemon is not your favorite, you could try adding orange or lime instead. In fact, that is my next mission – I’m going to make a lime pie using this recipe!
