Micki’s Morsels

Impressive Plus.

Bragging rights will be yours at the next carry-in brunch. Completely made from scratch, this recipe is a little messier than cookies, but less trouble than pie…in my humble opinion. Pastry dough filled with cream cheese, topped with black raspberry preserves and a sprinkling of powdered sugar…how on earth could that be anything but tasty? (more…)

Itty Bitty Pretty Ones.

We had a pretty filling dinner, so I made these single serving twisted shortcakes for just a taste of sweet. It was funny to see my kids ask to eat them alone or with just whipped cream because my intention was to eat them like you would strawberry shortcake, except bite-sized. Yes, it does involve the rolling pin, but it still took less than 10 minutes to prep and 15 to cook.

These muffins are the perfect fall morning pick-me-up. Not too “pumpkinny” according to my friends and family. There is no such thing as too much pumpkin flavor, so I had to rely on their opinion for this recipe. If you are thinking that it sounds like too much trouble, let me just say…cake mix + pumpkin + eggs = easy pumpkin spice muffins.

Like Muffins, But Not.

Admittedly, there’s not much to this recipe, but that’s what makes it so perfect. I prefer them room temperature; it gives the flavor time to sink in.

Homemade Made Quicker.

I keep sliced almonds on hand because I often use them for salads, but tonight, they would serve as a dessert ingredient. With relatively few ingredients and a speedy, hot microwave, I knew I could have candy in a matter of minutes. See the recipe… (more…)
