Cinnamon Pull-Aparts (AKA Monkey Bread)



This is one of my most requested recipes! I always take it to family get-togethers and it seems to disappear before the meal is even served! It's also one of the easiest and fastest cinnamon roll "type" recipes I have. I've made it for so many years I don't have an exact recipe, I just throw it together anymore but this is really close to what I use. Hope you give it a try - I really think you will like it!!

Pina Colada Cake

Spring feels like it's just around the corner now - and I for one am delighted! I love spring, it's my favorite time of year when things start greening up, the weather turns nicer and everyone can't wait to get outside again. Pina Colada cake is one of my favorite spring cakes because it is light and moist and for some reason makes me think of Easter, which is also just around the corner. I've seen lots of Pina Colada cake recipes on the internet but none quite like this one I received from a friend in Texas years ago. I hope you like it too!

Caramel Cheesecake Bars


I love cheesecakes - all kinds and sizes of cheesecakes! That's probably because I love cream cheese, everything from bagels with cream cheese to cream cheese cooking sauce to desserts with cream cheese. So, yes, right up there on the top of the list is cheesecakes. This is one I think is really good. I don't remember where I got this recipe several years ago but I was reminded of it the other day when I saw a recipe almost like it made with Golden Oreos. I have always made mine with vanilla sandwich cookies but I'm sure the Golden Oreos would be really good also. When I first tried it I couldn't imagine using marshmallow cream with cream cheese but it was so good I've made it often since then for get-togethers. So if you, like me, love cheesecakes this is one you definitely might want to try since it's really easy and really good!
