Coconut Cream and Chocolate Dessert

April 17, 2012 by Tiffany

I have a new thing for black bottom desserts. Chocolate layers are just so scrumptious.

First, there was Black Bottom Peanut Butter Pie.

And now there’s this dessert with a layer of coconut cream filling over over a chocolate cream cheese layer.

It’s a variation of a popular dessert that goes by many names. That recipe is often made with chocolate pudding, but can also be made with lemon. Both are wonderful. I decided to change it up by putting the chocolate in the cream cheese layer and using coconut cream pudding.

Here’s what you’ll need: [Read more...]

Gingerbread Bars with Orange Cream Cheese Frosting

December 16, 2011 by Tiffany

Gingerbread and orange pair up so well. Something about the deep, molasses and spice flavor with the bright citrus tastes like the holidays.

This recipe is a mash up of two other recipes: Gingersnap Sandwich Cookies with Orange Cream Cheese Filling from Recipe Girl and my Gingerbread with Lemon Sauce.

I wanted something cake-like that would feed quite a few people. The Orange Cream Cheese Frosting was perfect for topping it off. [Read more...]

Lemon Cheesecake Fruit Dip

July 14, 2011 by Tiffany

This is a guest post from my friend, Laura at Real Mom Kitchen. She has a new cook book out. I had a chance to look through it recently and it is full of easy, delicious recipes. Please welcome Laura as she shares one of her recipes with us.

Summer is a great time to enjoy fresh fruit. I also love to serve fresh fruit with a nice dip. This recipe for Lemon Cheesecake Fruit Dip from my new cookbook “Real Mom Kitchen Recipes” is an excellent choice to pair with the abundance for fresh summer fruit. It really does taste like lemon cheesecake but in a dip-able form. Who wouldn’t love to eat fresh fruit with a dip that tastes like cheesecake? Lemon adds such freshness to any dish and the lemon in this dip also adds a nice fresh flavor. [Read more...]

Grilled Chicken and Cream Cheese Enchiladas – 5 Ingredients

May 27, 2011 by Tiffany

These couldn’t be simpler, especially if you’ve already got the chicken grilled, sliced and frozen. But even if you need to do some grilling first, they are easy. (If you do need to grill, cook more than you need and stock your freezer with the extra.)

The ingredients can be changed and swapped too. Use cooked chicken instead of grilled, or use ground beef or leftover roast beef. Swap out the Black Bean and Corn Salsa for another variety. Skip the cream cheese and use Monterey Jack instead. Anything goes, and it’s all good.

Here’s what you’ll need: [Read more...]

German Chocolate Upside Down Cake

August 18, 2010 by Tiffany

Jim loves German Chocolate cake. I usually try to make him one for his birthday. This year, my mom mentioned this recipe which she got from my aunt.

It’s not a beautiful cake, but it is delicious with gooey sweet filling studded with coconut and pecans.

Apparently, my oldest son likes German Chocolate cakes too. I’m pretty sure he ate half the cake. 9×13 pan gone in 24 hours. Come to think of it, I’ve been noticing our food disappearing very quickly. Like the huge watermelon I cut late one evening. It was gone by lunch the next day! My son said he only had 1 bowl of it, but I think he refilled that bowl 10 times.

Here’s what you’ll need to make the cake. Maybe yours will last longer than ours.
