Guiltless Cupcakes

Guiltless Cupcakes
This is an incredible trick my cousin Shelly taught me that makes cupcake baking even easier, and healthier!  You take one box of cake mix, any flavor, and add one can complimentary flavored diet soda.  That’s it.  (No eggs, oil, or water as the box calls for).  Mix together, use cupcake liners in your [...]

Recipes from Amy’s Fam

I uploaded a bunch of new recipes to my family blog today — Sanford Keehn Family Recipes.

I particularly recomend the Rum Cake;  its incredible.  (Apparently, you can do just about anything with a box of Duncan Hines Golden Butter Cake).

Corrie’s Yellow Cake

This is the recipe I used for Clint’s groom cake.  I iced it with a milk chocolate cream cheese icing (equal parts cream cheese and butter…totally decadent).  Anyway, it is a classic and delicious recipe, good for cupcakes or cakes and challenges any boxed yellow cake mix.  It is from Martha Stewart:

Oreo Truffles

Posted by Amy
These are incredibly easy and taste amazing.  They’re quite rich and the recipe makes about 40-50 depending on the size of ball you roll.  Many people call them “Oreo balls” but I think “Oreo Truffles” sounds better and fancier.  I think I now like the mint more than the regular Oreos too. (I [...]

Delicious Fake Cake

Amy made this recently in NC, and it’s one of my favorite easy fakes. A pastry chef friend of mine even commented on how delicious and moist it is. It’s one of those things you can do last minute with minimal ingredients, and you’ll fool everyone who eats it. It’s ridiculously delicious, and it has [...]

Corrie’s Outrageous Brownies

I made these brownies for James’ sister wedding brunch and they were amazing!  The recipe makes a ton, so it is good for a big gathering of friends/family.  Just make sure to read through the recipe before you begin because there are so many steps…however, each step is pretty simple.  SO not healthiest of posts, [...]

Triple Chocolate Cake

Post by Amy
This is incredible.  I often cut strawberries and arrange them on the top right before serving.  Sprinke the powder sugar right before serving too, or the  cake will absorb it.  I have to cook for a full hour and the inside of the cake is amazingly moist and the chocolate chips stay melted [...]

Chocolate Oreo Truffles (Really Easy!)

I tried these last week, and they were so go I made them this weekend.  Everyone loves them and they look so much harder to make than they are.

Chocolate Oreo Truffles
Enjoy!

Lemon Bars

This is the best anything lemon you will make. They are a great year-round treat, but they’re especially good in spring and summer, as a picnic extra – and they wow a crowd at a get-together.  When I cut the squares, I save the crusts to enjoy with coffee in the morning
