Cookies and Cream Cupcakes
I really need to stop making desserts. My bottom is starting to hate me for loving desserts as much as I do. But these cupcakes are heavenly. It's true, someone once called them, "A little piece of Heaven." I wonder if they have desserts in Heaven.
Probably not. But who knows.
These are actually almost too sweet for me. I'm not a huge fan of Oreos. But people LOVE when I make them.

Monkey Bread
I have two friends who are getting married later this month. I haven't seen the bride-to-be in almost a year, and we were planning a nice get together before the big day. Since she was so kind to make dinner for me, I wanted to make a nice dessert for her. What kind of nice dessert? I searched for days. Okay, not days, but for a little while. I wanted something that wasn't too hard to fix, but something that wasn't a very common dessert either. I've never made monkey bread, or even had monkey bread. I guess I thought it wasn't very common. The dough can be made by hand like I did it, or you can just cut up instant biscuits into fours. Another tip is putting the cinnamon and brown sugar in a freezer bag and adding the balls and shaking everything up together instead of dipping them. You can also pour the melted butter over the balls in the pan instead of dipping them. Either way, it should all taste the same: delicious.

Strawberries and dumplings
Strawberries and dumplings? At first it sounds like an odd combination, but then you start to really think about it and it's brilliant! Especially when strawberries are in season.
And if you're like me, you have a weakness for all things made out of flour.
