Giggling Gourmet's 'Camp Dessert On the Fly'Here is something very quick, healthy and all to easy to fix up as a sweet dessert or snack dish. Use this when we are camping and backpacking as a nice capper to a day of hiking and the welcoming of a starry sky! Also works just fine when sitting at home as well and you want something sweet and still lean towards healthy food! |

The original restaurant from that… |

Mom's No Bake CookiesMy mom used to make these all the time when my sister and I were young. She used to help her mother make them for the family when she was a kid. She made the regular version as well as a version with the addition of peanut butter. They have become my go-to sweet tooth cure as they are so easy and quick to make. I recently made a… |

Chocolate Fudge Cake (or Cupcakes)Both batter and frosting are made with cocoa in this chocolate lover’s delight. Not as rich as Texas Sheet Cake, the recipe is a good choice for a birthday chocolate cake, so you can still have room for ice cream! An interesting side note - the texture of the cake only improves with age, and it slices and serves better too! Make it… |

The hardest part is figuring out what serving bowl to… |

Taylor's Chocolate Peanut Butter CupcakesThe cupcakes were Taylor's creation. She wanted to create something since she missed the muffin bake-off with Megan, but she left me half way through it. They were so good and I don't even like chocolate cupcakes. |

Open Faced Peach Mango Cobbler w/Crystallized GingerPeaches and mangoes are wonderful and bright with natural, juicy sweetness, unmatched by many. This cobbler is a little more figure friendly in that there is only one crust as opposed to the traditional two. Ginger makes a notable appearance in this recipe for a natural spiciness and the luxury of being one of the super spices and… |
