I got the inspiration for this cake from Rouses famous Gentilly cake. For those of you not from Louisiana, Rouses is a Louisiana based grocery store chain that has a fabulous in house bakery. They are famous for a few specialty cakes including their Gentilly Cake and a New Orleans style Doberge Cake .

This decadent cream is a stablized whipped cream and is perfect for dipping fruit in but is firm enough to frost a cake or cupcake. I created this after falling in love with Rousse’s Gentilly Cake . Their whipped frosting that is served on this cake is rich and has almost a wedding cake vibe. This is why I chose to flavor this with almond and not a traditional vanilla. I loved it so much I was inspired to make my own Gentilly Cake ..this is one epic cake.

Chicken salad is one of those things that is unique to it’s maker and their taste. There are millions of ways to throw together this cool yumminess but this Cranberry Pecan Chicken Salad is at the top of my list of favorites. This salad is slightly elegant if dressed up on a fancy crossiant or it can be dressed down on plain …
I am here to tell you Brioche Bread makes the best french toast in the world, hands down!! This bread is rich, buttery and slightly sweet so making it into french toast is a win win. Even if you are not a fan of french toast I think this would convert you. This Brioche French french toast is my new lazy sunday morning brunch running a close second to my Banana Blueberry Waffles.

We have a thing about condiments in our house, I live with a bunch of dippers . I created this srirahca mayo to go with a Keto Cheeseburger Bowl , which is perfect if you are following a low carb lifestyle. This truly is the perfect condiment ..It is creamy and spicy . If you have never tried sriracha it is the perfect hot sauce without a vinegar flavor. This mayo can be used on just about anything. From bringing life to a plain BLT to spicing up a fish taco…ohhh AND this is such a good seafood and french fry dip.

We have a local burger joint in town that offers a burger bowl. It is basically a hamburger patty ontop of shredded lettuce and what ever toppings you would like. After seeing it I thought I needed to do this at home and bring it up a notch. I mean come on guys , just because you are cutting carbs don’t mean you have to cut flavor. I made the most flavorful hamburger patty with oozy melted cheese. Then placed it on a bed of mixed greens with chuncks of bacon and slices of pickles. This is where is gets special..sriracha mayo. My sriracha mayo is fabulous on this and really makes it special. If you like recipes with ground meat you will love My Low Carb Meatballs, it is one of my popular recipes.

I was lucky enough to grow up in the a time that we actually played outside in the summer . We dissapeared early in the mornings on our bikes looking for adventures. Our subdivision wasn’t completely developed and there were patches of woods. In these woods we would build club houses and play for hours. The best part was the random blacberry patches in small clearings . We would bring plastic cool whip containers and pick them for hours. We would talk about selling them to our moms to make us something good LOL. We usually ended up eating them all before they made it home but those were the days. Now, luckily these berries are easily accessible at local super markerts. This is the easiest blackberry cobbler ever! The best thing is if blackberries are not available you can totally make this with frozen berries.

Hello my name is Debbie and I am addicted to blueberry biscuits. Serioulsy , I have made these babies so many times the past couple weeks my fingers have a bluish hue . As much as I love my traditional Blueberry Biscuits with Lemon Glaze I am all about saving time. Long before I was sharing my recipes I learned to make 7-up biscuits. I am sure you have seen a version of them floating around on pinterst . They are so yummy and EASY..and that is where I got the inspiration for these Easy Blueberry Biscuits. A few little adjustments and a perfect buttery, melt in your mouth breakfast.

When I see peeps they just make me happy and I know Easter is near. I will be honest here, I am not a fan of eatting them but they are just so darn cute I love using them. Making these Easter Cupcakes was so fun, if you like peeps then your decorations are edible. When I made these cupcakes I used the combination of my Lemon Cupcake and my Strawberry Frosting. The combination of the two flavors is very spring like and yummy. I decided to fill these with a marshmallow filling , this is optional but so much fun when you bite into these cupcakes.

When this pink yumminess passed my lips the skys opened up and I heard angels sing !! This is honestly the best strawberry frosting I have ever made, and I have made a lot . I adore anything strawberry but making strawberry frosting has always been a struggle for me. Adding fresh strawberries tend to make it a bit runny and thin. I have tried adding strawberry jello into buttercream and I found it gritty. When I discovered that making a fine powder from freezed dried strawberries was a thing , it intrigued me and I had to try it. BAM..LIFE CHANGED!!
