I’ve tweaked a lot of cheesecake recipes in my day! However, I have never completely developed my very own cheesecake recipe…until now! My Grandma used to say…”If you’re going to do a job…do it well or not at all!” I’m happy to say the wait to create my very own cheesecake was worth it! This Coconut Raspberry Cheesecake is truly the BEST cheesecake I’ve ever had! The Coconut Cheesecake is so creamy it melts in your mouth. The coconut cookie crust is superb! The Raspberry swirl…out of this world! It’s perfect for your Easter dinner!

This spectacular Raspberry Bread Pudding is a Copy Cat of Kneaders Raspberry Bread Pudding with Vanilla Cream Sauce.

The finishing touch is a healthy drizzle of a decadent delicious warm vanilla cream sauce. It’s plate licking worthy! You won’t care who is watching!
Remember the old Family TV shows and movies where the ladies in the neighborhood got together for a cup of coffee, a slice of coffee cake, and a visit? A “Mommy Time Out”! When, and better yet, WHY did we do away with that! I say we bring back Coffee Cake and mid-morning visits with friends with this easy and delicious Cake Mix Cinnamon Coffee Cake. I whipped up this Cake in a matter of minutes! It will disappear almost as quickly as you can make it! It’s melt-in-your-mouth moist with hints of swirled cinnamon streusel and vanilla icing drizzle. The perfect treat for a little “girl time”!
Any Lemon Lover’s out there? I’m the president of the Lemon Lover’s Fan Club. Truly! If it’s lemon…I’m ALL in! One of my very favorite lemon desserts is Lemon Meringue Pie. I took my time coming up with spectacular version…tweaking it until I had it just right. I wanted to give you a pie that was piled high with sweet dreamy Mile High Golden Meringue and filled with a slightly tart fresh creamy lemon filling. The results are this superb Mile High Lemon Meringue Pie! It’s Sunshine on a plate!
Valentines Day should be all about the Chocolate Hearts! I just prefer my hearts Flaky, buttery, and filled with a Rich, Creamy, Dark Godiva Chocolate!

It’s pastry and chocolate for crying out loud! I’ll be hiding out in the closet if ya need me.
I like to think outside of the box! The brownie box! I believe them when they say “Go Big OR Go Home”! So I KICKED up these Valentine Raspberry Brownies by about 100 notches! How you ask? Well…I added a delicious Raspberry filling, White Chocolate Chips, Toasted Almonds, a heaping scoop of Raspberry Cheesecake Gelato, Dark Chocolate Syrup, and Fresh Raspberry Sauce. I think that’s “BIG” enough. What do ya’ll think?
