The easiest Pigs in a Blanket. You’re just 2 ingredients away from a delicious appetizer! My husband always talks about a recipe that his friend’s wife makes, and honestly, I have no idea what the recipe is (I guess I should ask her!). But based on what he was saying, I thought he was talking …
This Mocha Poke Cake Recipe combines the rich flavor of coffee with the sweetness of chocolate! I’ve been realizing lately that for a blog with coffee in our name, we don’t have many coffee recipes. So I figured I needed to set to work changing that! At the same time, I’ve had poke cakes on …

A recipe from my mom’s 1950’s childhood, this old fashioned Chocolate Chip Pie is light and fluffy! Best of all, it’s so easy and delicious! For my mom’s birthday this year, she asked for Chocolate Chip Pie. Apparently this is a recipe that my grandma used to make when my mom was little and they …
Have you ever been in the midst of a recipe that calls for powdered sugar, only to realize you are out of powdered sugar (or don’t have enough)? I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had this happen. It used to be that I would stop where I was at, run to the store …
