Cakes, Pies, Cookies, & Breads
Coconut Cream CakeTip: You won't need all of the coconut mixture. Coconut cake mix will can also be used.
Cool Whipped Frosting
Tip: Add 1 teaspoon coconut extract for a kick.
Banana Crumb MuffinsTip: This recipe can also be used to make banana bread.
Zucchini Carrot MuffinsTip: This recipe can be used to make a loaf. Brown sugar will make them crewy but damn good.
Pumpkin Pie CrunchThis is a family favorite. It’s very simple to make and the wet bits can be mixed and refrigerated overnight. Huge time saver! It tastes very much like sweet potato pie…which is how I got BC to eat it.
Tip: If you want a richer flavor, use Duncan Hines Butter Recipe Golden Cake Mix. You can also add a little spice mix into the dry cake mix. Glass cookware is ok but ceramic/stone is best. If using metal, be careful not to burn the bottom. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and a dash of lemon. Maple opional.
All dressed up for company. :)

Tiramisu CookiesThis is a good one as well. I use both. These were the first tiramisu cookie recipes that didn't suck.
Tip: Use dark rum & make sure the butter is at room temp. Optional topping: Melt 3oz of white chocolate with a tablespoon of milk, spread on & dust with coco.
Dulce de Leche CupcakesTip: If you can find butter-nut extract, add a teaspoon. It'll kick the flavor up. You can also save time by using Duncan Hines Caramel Cake Mix
Pumpkin Waffles with Vanilla Bean ButterGreat Belgian waffles! I'll post the butter recipe ASAP.
Tips: I only use one teaspoon of ginger. Also great with pecans and apples.
Tracy's Carrot CakeAfter three years it's finally on paper! Enjoy...
Cowboy CookiesSinfully good! I added a cup of raisins and used dark brown sugar instead of light.
Tip: The darker the sugar, the more molasses it contains…the more molasses, the chewier your end product. Greg adds dried cherries and my mom adds a little applesauce (don't know why)
