Applesauce Doughnut Holes
Ok, I promise I’ll get off the fall-flavor train soon. Yeah, not really. I can’t promise that at all. I know there are some of you out there who aren’t into pumpkin, apple and cinnamon EVERYTHING, but I can’t help myself. I am very into pumpkin, apple and cinnamon everything. I’ll try to mix it up a bit. However, you should know that I still have 14 cans of pumpkin puree in my pantry, so I’m probably not going to keep my word on this…

Butterfinger Cheesecake
This post has been sponsored by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #ReinventSweet #CollectiveBias I might be a wee-bit obsessed. With cheesecake, of all things. Which, actually is a GOOOOOD thing, but really, why can’t I be obsessed with Kale? Or Flax Seed? Or Chickpeas? (I don’t know – those are the first three healthy-like things that popped into my cheesecake-obsessed head.) This cheesecake, you guys – it’s awesome. It’s easy. It goes together in no time, and you can change it…

Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Butter Cream
It was a year ago today that I first made this cake. Well, not this cake exactly – I can’t remember the exact flavor combination, but it was a big, heavy three-layer cake with fluffy frosting and glitter sprinkles everywhere.

Chocolate Buttercream Cake
I love chocolate cake. Good chocolate cake might be my very favorite thing, ever. So when I saw this recipe, I knew I had to try it. The first thing I noticed was that there were a LOT of ingredients, far more than any chocolate cake recipe I’ve ever tried before. I would strongly suggest pre-measuring your ingredients so they’ll be ready to add as you go along, and take the time to buy or cut the parchment circles for your cake pans. You’ll thank…

Lemon Drop Cupcakes
So, my sister is VERY pregnant. She’s not due for another 9 days, but she’s done. I can’t hardly blame her, she works on her feet all day long, and then chases a 22 month old around all night. The girl is always on the go, and quite possibly the hardest worker I know. Except maybe my Dad, but I suppose that’s where she gets it. Since I’m just as anxious to meet my new nephew as she is, (ok, probably not AS anxious. But…

Cherry Chocolate Coconut Granola
Much to my kids’ dismay, we haven’t been down the cereal aisle at our grocery store for a long time. Last week, when I had to buy some cereal to make S’mores Rice Krispies Treats, their little eyes lit up and they got so excited at the thought that maybe I was going to cave and let them buy something. Nope. We do buy the occasional organic cereal at our local co-op, but it’s a rare treat. Mostly, the girls eat granola in lieu of…

German Chocolate Fudge Cake
Oh, this cake. This cake. THIS CAKE. This cake made me say bad words today. See, I like to make my life extra-stressful sometimes. I’ve told you before that my Mom and Dad still have Sunday dinners at their house, and my siblings all get together and eat, play, act like we’re still kids and watch our own kids wreak havoc on my parent’s house once a week. So sometimes, I like to make dessert, especially big obnoxious desserts like this one, to share with…

Throwback Thursday: One Hour Maple Pecan Cinnamon Rolls
Hi everyone! On Thursdays, I will be sharing some of my favorites from the archives of Lemon Sugar. These are still my very favorite cinnamon rolls, ever and are one of my most-pinned recipes! Wouldn’t these be great on a lazy daylight-saving morning? Enjoy! ♥ This is officially the third time I’ve used my One Hour Cinnamon Roll Dough on the blog. There was the original, the Cherry Sweet Rolls, and now these. I think these win. These are Maple Pecan Cinnamon Rolls, and they’re fabulous. Oh…

Cream Cheese Banana Nut Bread
I have to say that I’m a bit relieved that the holiday season is over. The last six weeks have been a total blur. Shopping, parties, planning, cleaning, baking, wrapping (oh, the wrapping…).

Dipped Vanilla Sprinkle Cupcakes
When my husband and I finished college, we moved to the suburbs and built our first house together. We both grew up in a small town, out in the country, and I think we were ready to give “city living” a try. We built a great first house not far from the police station where my husband works and relatively close to my job. Then, my first daughter was born. She wasn’t even six months old when we realized that we wanted her to have…

Cherry Sweet Rolls
Ok, let me break this down for you. One-hour sweet roll dough. Sweet cherry filling. Easy-peasy powdered sugar glaze. Start to finish, cherry sweet rolls, in about an hour. Boom. This is what Sunday afternoons are made for. Know why? Because tomorrow I get to have a cherry sweet roll with my morning coffee. It’s funny because every single time I make this recipe, I think, “Why in the world did I not halve the recipe? Why do I need 30 sweet rolls?” Let me…
