Rum Cake

Rum Cake by Walker

Now I love to cook and cook all the time but for some reason, I never tried baking. But one Christmas I needed to take something to a family get-together and couldn't think of anything. Then I remembered that my mom used to make a rum cake around the holidays and decided that I would try it. Well, everyone loved it and then I made it…

Tarheel Pie

Tarheel Pie by Carolinaheartstrings

Looky, looky what I found. A chocolate pie that bears the name of my state. Coincidence. . . . . I think not. It’s fate baby. Earlier this month I blogged about the nickname the state of North Carolina carries, The Tarheel State and the “legends” and reasons behind that naming. One of them being the pine forests and large…

Oatmeal Raisin Chocolate Chip Cookies by Carolinaheartstrings

I know, I know oatmeal, raisins AND chocolate chips. Trust me. It is a great combination. This is a delicious oatmeal cookie recipe. The Husband said they reminded him of his favorite spice cake his mom baked when he was a kid. Don’t you love a cookie that brings back memories?

Goo Goo Brownie Pizza

Goo Goo Brownie Pizza by Carolinaheartstrings

This is a great treat! It is the combination of all the ingredients that makes those the real Goo Goo Clusters so yummy. The nuts, the chocolate, the caramel and of course the marshmallow. My fellow family members are not lovers of marshmallow so I decided to omit that particular part for this easy, delicious, gooey dessert pizza.

Oatmeal Toffee Cookie Bars

Oatmeal Toffee Cookie Bars by Carolinaheartstrings

One of my favorite candy bars is the Heath chocolate covered toffee bar. Heath makes a toffee chip for baking. They are very small and mix well for a well distributed flavor. I took one of my old oatmeal cookie bar recipes and tweaked it to include these chips and also some chocolate chips. They are tasty and crispy and even more…

Carrot Raisin Cookie Bars

Carrot Raisin Cookie Bars by Carolinaheartstrings

I love baking from scratch - sometimes the more ingredients the better. Other times not so much. This cookie bar recipe uses a cake mix to cut the prep time and turns out like you slaved in the kitchen! It’s moist and chewy and hard to resist.

Sour Cream Rhubarb Pound Cake

Sour Cream Rhubarb Pound Cake by Carolinaheartstrings

This is a pretty basic pound cake recipe. The addition of sour cream and the rhubarb is what makes it a special dessert. Moist, buttery with a tang from the rhubarb this is a wonderful dessert to have with a tall glass of iced tea.

Rhubarb Crisp

Rhubarb Crisp by Carolinaheartstrings

My mother always had a huge rhubarb patch. She used to make crisps and pies all summer long. They were always so delicious and I can remember picking a stalk of the rhubarb and dipping it in sugar and eating it raw. Sour and sweet all at the same time. I loved it! I have always had a hard time finding rhubarb here in North…

Krispy Kreme Blueberry Bread Pudding

Krispy Kreme Blueberry Bread Pudding by Carolinaheartstrings

Krispy Kreme: born in North Carolina and enjoyed worldwide. EVERYONE knows that Krispy Kreme donuts are sold by the dozen, and since SOME of us will acknowledge that only 10 will make it to the kitchen, this recipe uses 10 donuts. For those with will power, you can adjust the liquid accordingly!
