Baked Brown Sugar & Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal

My oldest son loves this Baked Brown Sugar and Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal!  He was home on Spring break and I must have made it four times that week.  The flavor combination is so good, and it's so easy to make too.  You toss everything into one baking dish, mix it up, bake for awhile and then drizzle on some cream.  Believe me, the cream is the finishing touch to this recipe!

 Pumpkin Custard with Oatmeal Crumb & Cream Cheese Topping!

Every year it seems like I have pumpkin leftover.  I normally make pumpkin roll, but this year my daughter asked if I could make something different so I came up with this delicious Pumpkin Custard with Oatmeal Crumb and Cream Cheese Topping!  This is such a simple dessert and it only takes a few standard ingredients that you most likely have at home.  For the topping I made an oatmeal crumb and added a dollop of sweetened cream cheese.  You could also add whipped topping or even vanilla ice cream...simple & delicious!

Caramel Corn & Yahoo! Food

 

At my house, we are big popcorn fans!  We actually love it so much that I went out and bought a movie style popcorn popper.  This is by far one of the best investments I have ever made.  I get to make a big batch of fresh, delicious popcorn whenever I want...and believe me, I make it a lot!

Brown Sugar (Shortbread) Fruit Pizza

 

Fruit pizzas are usually made with a sugar cookie crust, but I honestly don't care for it. What I do care for is shortbread!  I love the rich buttery taste, how flaky it is and how it melts in your mouth.  My recipe has brown sugar in the shortbread and the cream cheese making this a decadent dessert.  It's very simple to make and you can top it off with whatever fruit you have on hand.  Drizzle a little extra icing on top and you have a quick, easy  and delicious dessert...I hope you enjoy!

Upside Down Apple Pie

 

My husband loves apple pie...I'd rather pass!  Every time I make it he insists I try a bite and taste how good it is.  For some reason I just don't like it.  Then the other day I was browsing recipes and came across Upside Down Apple Pie.  I was excited that I had all the ingredients on hand so I whipped one up.  I must say, it's quite delicious!  I did change it a little, but the concept is the same.  It's very simple to put together and it looks beautiful too....enjoy!

Cinnamon Sugar Swirl Raisin Bread

 

 

 

I love making bread and one of our favorites is this Cinnamon Sugar Swirl Raisin Bread.  It's a lightly sweetened dough with raisins and a swirl of cinnamon and sugar inside.  Plus I love to top it off with a sweet glaze!  I've been making this bread for years and it's always a big hit.  I make it in the morning and honestly it doesn't last the day!   

Vanilla Peach Coffee Cake

 

 

I had the pleasure of reading  Gone with a Handsomer Man by Michael Lee West. It is her newest novel and I must say, it is wonderful! The main character is Teeny Templeton who loves to cook. When I saw Teeny's recipe for Vanilla Peach Pecan Coffee Cake I knew I had to try it. I did make some slight changes due to the ingredients I had on hand and I also made a vanilla icing to drizzle on top!
