Mini No-Bake Cheesecake Parfaits

Hello there! It's been a minute since I've posted anything on this little blog of mine,
sharing on Instagram is so much easier, but this mini no-bake cheesecake parfait recipe
is a keeper, so I'm posting it so that I remember it for future bridal/baby showers or
other parties.

Our daughter is getting married next month and her sweet Maid of Honor hosted a bridal
shower for her a couple weeks ago. It was such a nice shower with so many cute details.
If I get my act together maybe I'll post some pictures soon.

Chocolate Covered Frozen Banana Bites

Lately I've been craving ice cream or frozen yogurt like crazy.
My husband's all like "let's go to Kline's", which I would love to do every night, but
I don't have his fast metabolism, so I'd never be able to fit into any of my clothes.
I needed a lower calorie snack to curb my sweet tooth, so I came up with chocolate
covered frozen banana bites. Simply drip frozen slices of banana into melted dark
chocolate and sprinkle with your favorite toppings. I topped mine with sprinkles,
shredded coconut, cocao nibs and chocolate covered sunflower seeds.

Mini Macaron Cake

share it with you to show you just how easy it is to make an impressive cake from a
boxed cake mix.

Chocolate Zucchini Bread Minis

It's the time of year when summer gardens are going crazy and neighbors leave zucchini
on your doorstep and I love it! Zucchini is probably my favorite garden veggie, so I'm
happy to take all of them I can get. What we don't eat, I freeze to use in soup all winter
long. You can find out how I freeze zucchini here.

Mini Chocolate Cake

My parent's 57th wedding anniversary was the perfect excuse to make this adorable
mini chocolate cake.  I pinned this recipe in January, right after Christina posted it
on her blog, Dessert for Two. I thought it was the cutest thing ever!

Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Tartlets

Chocolate pie is one of my favorite desserts, so when Sophie from @trackingisthenewblack
posted the recipe for these Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Tartlets on her Instagram,
I knew that I  just had to make them!

Mini Chocolate Candy Coated Donuts

It's Halloween week!  Time to break out all of the candy!
While I've never really been a fan of dressing up in costume for Halloween, I am
a fan of making sweet treats and handing them out to friends and neighbors.

Game Day Cookie Cups

Cookies & Cream Mini Parfaits

Cookies and cream is a dessert match made in heaven.

If you're searching for a sweet treat that everyone loves - this is it.

Cookies & Cream Mini Parfaits are basically fancy little Oreo Dirt Cups. 

Instead of gummy worms I added a bright red raspberry to each one to make them look

more elegant and I served them in 2 oz. clear, plastic dessert cubes each with a mini spoon.

Cinnamon Bun Mini Cakes

When I was little I asked Santa for a Betty Crocker Easy-Bake Oven for Christmas.
I wanted that little oven so badly!
Mini boxes of Betty Crocker cake mix and tiny cake pans - I would have been in heaven!

Santa was good to me that year, but he never did come through with that Easy-Bake Oven.
My mom said I should just learn how to bake in a real oven and so I did.  Thanks mom :)
I cranked out cookies, brownies and cakes for my brothers and they were happy, but deep
down I still longed for that little oven that baked cakes with a light bulb.

Mini Granola Chocolate Fruit Tarts

My fridge is full of berries and I love it!
Summer is the best!

After dinner  I was craving something sweet, but healthy too.
Is that too much to ask??
I remembered seeing chocolate fruit tartlets on SkinnyTaste a few days ago and
thought they looked so yummy so I made my own version.
Mini granola chocolate fruit tarts.
Sweet tooth problem solved :)

Upside Down Cheesecake In A Jar Minis

Most of the time when I opt for dessert it involves chocolate, but every now and then
I crave something sweet and fruity.

I love cheesecake, but since I do not need an entire cheesecake sitting around tempting
me, I decided to make a few mini cheesecakes to curb my sweet tooth.

Mini Fruit and Almond Flower Tarts

Yay for May!
My favorite month!
May brings warm sunny days, my birthday, Mother's Day and oh yeah,
May flowers!

Chocolate Yogurt Pie for Two

Hi there.
How was your Valentine's weekend?

Our weekend was pretty low-key, which was fine by me!
I had to work most of the day on Saturday, so we decided to just chill at home
that evening since is was so cold and snowy.

Fruit Pizza Cookie Cups

I love taking a favorite recipe and making it into cute, bite-size desserts.
I've been making fruit pizza forever, but when I needed something sweet to take to
church I decided mini fruit pizza cookie cups were the way to go.

No cutting or serving spoon needed.
Everyone can just grab a cookie cup or two :)

Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread with Oat Streusel

I'm going to miss summer and all of the free veggies from my parents garden!
My mom planted five zucchini plants just for me and my sister-in-law and we have been
loving it.
Zucchini for daaayyyzzzz :)
