Happy Halloween!! These muffins are so fun for holidays! I picked up a $10 skull pan from target to make them extra spooky. You could definitely use a muffin tin as well. I made them for our kids sleep over and everyone was so excited! The muffin batter is insanely easy and the light cheesecake […]
Parmigiana Chicken with wine sauce
We love a good pasta dish especially when the weather cools down. This dish gives you all the flavor with less calories than most Italian restaurants. Crispy chicken tenders with a parmigiana crust top our capellini with garlic and mushrooms. Best part of this recipe is you can add or swap ingredients. Don’t like mushrooms? […]
Spiced Apple Cider Cake
This September marks 7 years for kelliericecakes.com! It is hard to believe how much time has passed! To celebrate I made a spiced apple cider cake with thick cream cheese espresso frosting, apple butter layers, and candied pecans. I know these layers look extra thick, but the frosting is more cream cheese and not as […]
Baked Apple Cider Donuts
Fall is finally here! I go back and forth between pumpkin and apples. Honestly, I would have been baking with both way sooner if my family had let me ?. These very easy baked apple cider donuts are a perfect way to dip into the season! I bought my donut pan at Target for $10! […]
Pumpkin Banana Snack Cake
I was going to wait until September 1st to share this recipe, but it is just too good not to share! Plus I am sure we all have overly ripe bananas hanging out! This cake is so light and fluffy with banana chunks. The brown sugar topping keeps it from drying out. I played around […]
Cherry Cobbler
My whole life I have loved anything with cherries. I can never understand how someone could prefer apples or peaches. This cherry cobbler is so easy to put together, but has so much flavor! I can make this entire dessert in 30 minutes. My kids always think I am a magician. Second best part? Your […]
Caramelized Onion and Beef Pizza
Pizza is a huge hit in our house! We love making it at home and changing up the toppings. This pizza plays off classic flavors, but it just a little more special with sweet caramelized onions, crispy ground beef, and calabria chilies. You can use whatever cheese you love, but I really like the Tillamook […]
Chocolate Hazelnut Meringue Cake
This is such a fun way to make chocolate cake. Deep chocolate fudge cake topped with the crackled meringue and fresh whipped cream. It is a cross between a brownie and macaron. Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and I wanted to try something a little different. When Patrick and I first started dating […]
Easy Empanadas with JalapeƱo Dip
There is a Cuban restaurant around the corner that makes super simple delicious empanadas. Beef or chicken, crunchy with an amazing dip. I do not know anything about an authentic empanada, but I do know what would go well with a similar dip. My version has roasted onion, potatoes, butternut squash, ground beef, and mozzarella. […]
Arancini – Fried Risotto
What is it about the cool weather that makes you crave all the comfort foods? With the temperature dropping we have been eating a lot of risotto. Usually we have so much left over and I don’t know what to do with it. So I was thinking why not fry it? I used our favorite […]
