I am going to tell you what drew me into this recipe. First I love raspberries, I can eat them as a dessert solo. Just pop those little delights right in my mouth with nothing else – they’re like nature’s candy! Anyway, the name Razzleberry Crisp made me smile. I was excited to not only make it and top it off with some slow churned vanilla bean ice cream, but to tell the kids what it is called. My daughter said, “Razzle dazzle?” I said sure, we can call it that! How very fun it was. But more importantly it was so good!

I love all types of crisps from apple to blueberry and everything in-between. Since raspberries are my favorite fruit, I knew I’d love this even more than anything I’d had the pleasure of tasting. It was a hit for the entire family, even my husband who is not a huge fan of raspberries like I am.

Quick Tip: Using a pastry blender will get you the perfect “crumble” consistency for your crisp topping.

Mama’s little baby loves shortenin’ bread! That’s right … shortbread had been a staple for many years and it is beloved by many. It’s sold in places like Panera and Starbucks and is a best seller – so it’s not lost popularity at all. You can easily get this treat anytime when you bake it at home, and it’s so easy! Not only will mama’s little babies love it but all of her friends and family. My favorite thing to do is dip it in my coffee because it soaks it up and gains all the flavor of both in each bite. It’s absolutely delicious!

Chewy, buttery and highly addictive – you owe it to yourself to try the white chocolate version of brownies! Maybe that makes the name “brownies” a little contradictory but it doesn’t matter because either way they are mind-blowing delicious. If you’re like me you love the approval of your eaters. I live for the moments to hear, “Oh my gosh this is so good! How do you make this?” Of course, that’s just part of the satisfaction because I get to enjoy everything I make, too. These are a guaranteed hit and quite easy to whip up for your adoring fans.

One of the things I love to do is try to recreate the dishes that my family finds most enjoyable when we eat out. I take it a step further by trying to recreate the recipe on a budget. One of the most challenging, but most rewarding, recipes was this cast iron buffalo chicken and bacon pizza. The original recipe was found at a local pizza restaurant in Alabama called Buck’s. We tried it while I was pregnant and it took until my son was 3 to nail all the flavors.

Blackberries have never often been a part of my breakfast.  I usually only throw them in my yogurt or have a handful of them as a snack.  They just never tickled my fancy as breakfast food, until this. Actually, this recipe is more than a breakfast food, it is a dessert! A healthy and fulfilling dessert at that. Imagine ripe blackberries nestled in the midst of a warm biscuit bread. Yummo!

Yes you read that right! Are you drooling yet? I just ate this cake and I am drooling again already! It is highly addictive and will bring you many, many fans. This is one of those desserts that has it all. Can’t decide if you’re in the mood for cake, pie or a cookie? BOOM – Gooey Cinnamon Cake is here to save the day. Trust me that everyone in your family, all your friends and even strangers will love this dessert. If you make it – they will come and they will ask for more and more. So, beware!

Waking up and popping this in the oven made my entire day more tolerable – no lie! Let’s be honest, most of us wake up and instantly start going strong with chores and responsibilities. We never take a moment to appreciate that the sun rose on another day, and how very fortunate we are to have breath in our lungs and loved ones around us. That’s what this cinnamon coffee cake loaf does for me. I get it ready the night before in the pan, then wake up and pop it in a preheated oven. Then I go about my usual feeding the dogs and checking email. Before I know it the smell is drifting through the house.
