Buttermilk Blueberry Muffins
Here is a blueberry muffin that is not bland; they are moist and bursting with blueberries. When you add the sprinkle of sugar on top it gives you a little sweetness and texture to each muffin. If you do not have buttermilk you can make your own by mixing 1 tsp cider vinegar to 1/3 …

Tequila-Lime Fruit Salad
When I first tried this recipe it called for alot of sugar, and I think it took away from the fact that you where eating a “fresh” fruit salad. I subtracted many times the amount of sugar and water called for until I found what I liked, so feel free to add more if this …

Mocha Tiramisu Parfaits

Bourbon-Cream Cheese Brownies
You just may have to make a double batch of these yummy brownies! When I send a plate of these in with my husband to work for his co-workers to enjoy they are gone before the morning is over. If you don’t have a 9-inch pan, use your 8-inch and cook a few minutes longer. …
