Going Bananas

There’s something about bananas which pairs incredibly well with baked goods.  Maybe it’s the moisture it brings to the party or the subtle flavor hinted throughout.  Either way, we can’t wait to share our banana creations with you.

TTW: Rolo Cheesecake Bars

Tia’s Treat of the Week officially ended last year.  That doesn’t mean she stopped making killer treats for her team.  This is one of those concoctions. The idea came from Pinterest.  That’s a given since Pinterest is the place where all food is turned into other food.  I think the whole Pinterest thing is based on …

Less Mess = More Fun

One summer tradition in our household is camping.  We load up the truck, head to the woods, and pop up the tent trailer to have uninterrupted family time.  The last thing we want is a weekend filled with stress. With traditions, we bring our childhood memories to pass on to the next generation.  Who doesn’t remember …

Banana Brownie

Doesn’t it always seem like you have bananas around that have turned to the brown stage?  Inevitably, because you hate ingredients to go to waste, you make banana bread.  Or you venture to something new like a banana bar.  But the other day when I perused around Pinterest, I came upon the Banana Brownie. At …

A Cookie Is Worth a Thousand Words

Recently, a friend of mine received tragic news about a family member.  As people on the outside, we stand around helpless wondering what we can do to help.  We don’t know what to say.  Distant from offering anything of actual comfort.  Patiently waiting until there’s a sign we are needed. A couple weeks ago, I talked about making …

TTW: The Pantry Brownie

The official name to this is the Ultimate Pretzel Crusted Peanut Butter Cookie Candy Brownie Bars.  Seriously?  How is anyone supposed to wait around for you to get out the title before you dive into this awesome brownie?  So, I changed the name.  Yeah, I did it just like that. With all the ingredients being …

TTW: Lemon Bars

It should be a crime to use lemons for anything but Lemondrop martinis.  Okay, maybe that’s a little drastic.  If you do end up having tons of lemons you aren’t sure what to do with them, here is a great, easy, summer recipe. These lemon bars are a fabulous combination of tart and sweet.  They have …

TTW: Snickers Brownie

I know the site has been a little delayed lately.  Don’t worry.  Tia is still cranking out her weekly’s.  It’s the fault of the blogger they have not made their way to the web.  I’m currently in the works to correcting this problem. Here is a decadent one to keep you on a sugar high …

TTW: Banana Bars

When a banana passes that day where you want to eat it straight out of the peel, it turns into something delicious.  Sure, there’s no possible way you are going to eat it as a mushy mess and unless you have a baby in the house, no one else will either.  Bakers all over the …

TTW: Red Velvet Cheesecake Bars

Like millions of other women out there, Tia and I are addicted to Pinterest.  It’s a hotbed for pinning different ideas and brainstorming our own twists on them.  One of our baking differences is Tia is traditional about following a recipe while I don’t sweat the details.  And at different times, we both are left scratching …

Tia’s Treat of the Week: Coconut Pie Bars

Tia and I both have “real” jobs.  The dreaded “day job.”  But we really don’t dread it that much because we work together and talk about baking a lot.  We have the same job of being supervisors over a staff of 14 each.  Part of our job involves making sure our staff knows how much we …
