Scurry to your pantry and grab that box of Raisin Bran cereal. We’re having Raisin Bran Cookies for breakfast! And lunch. And dinner. Yes, they are that amazing. Goodbye, Cereal. Hello, Raisin Bran Cookies! Are you an oatmeal cookie type? These Raisin Bran Cookies are going to be your brand new favorite. This recipe is far from brand new, though. I discovered this recipe in a vintage cookbook
Feeling groovy? Let’s take a little trip back to the 1970s to whip up a batch of these award-winning Rocky Road Fudge Bars from Pillsbury Bake Off 1972! I used to bake these fudge bars as a teenager, and I still consider them one of my all-time favorite dessert recipes. What qualifies these Rocky Road Fudge Bars as Best Dessert Ever? The answer is in the layers: You start
You might be thinking that it doesn’t get better than than a strawberry cake and brownie baked together, but it does! This Strawberry Crownie is baked in that time-tested vintage vessel — the beautiful Bundt pan — which earns you immediate brownie points for keeping it retro! The original Crownie recipe, the Birthday Crownie, is made with yellow cake and brownie baked together and topped with a chocolate ganache glaze.
My inspiration for Gold Medal Dark Chocolate Pecan Pie is that I am kind of obsessed with old school recipes. I recently came across this 1953 advertisement for Betty Crocker’s Chocolate Brownie Pie, which was originally published in House & Garden magazine. It sounded like my kind of pie (gooey brownies in a pie crust, anyone?), so I set out to recreate it. The first test-run tasted pretty good, actually, but
This recipe is a deliciously dark chocolate Brownie Crunch Ice Cream Cake that takes me back to my childhood. Back in the day, my mom would stop by our small town Dairy Queen to pick up an ice cream cake for a special occasion. She would serve it up to her (adorable) children, and then we would celebrate! Dairy Queen filled their ice cream cake with some sort of crunchy
Beach days, pool parties, boat trips, and barbecues are what Florida living is all about. When summertime weather heats up, you’ve got to find ways to cool down. Okay, skinny dipping in the pool is quite refreshing, but if your neighbor Duckie is (coincidentally?) trimming his hedges again this weekend, you might want to go for this Cherry 7 Up Salad instead. Fluffy and fruity, my Cherry 7 Up Salad is a Pretty in Pink Summer
These Caramel Macchiato Brownies are filled with Hershey’s Special Dark Cocoa and real ground espresso. They’re dark, bold, and rich. Just how I like my man. Lucky for me, my husband fits all three criteria at least once a year (usually in late summer on a boat somewhere in the Florida Keys, when he’s had a few rum and Cokes, and after I just got my nails and hair did due to a month-long gig he worked in May). I cherish
What’s better than birthday cake? No doubt a Birthday Crownie. Today is my son’s 10th birthday. Happy Birthday, Rhodes! Rhodes loves to help me cook in the kitchen, and over the weekend he was so excited to help me bake a Birthday Crownie just for him. A Birthday Crownie is half cake, half brownie; two favorites in one! This Birthday Crownie is made with Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate brownie mix and Betty Crocker Super Moist
7-Up Salad with Lime Jello and Marshmallows 7-Up Salad with Lime Jello is a retro recipe that my mother-in-law passed on to me. If you’re looking for a delicious lime jello recipe, this one is an old school family favorite! 7 Up Salad is the best of all lime jello recipes because of the super creamy texture you get from the cream cheese and that sweet tang you get from
