This recipe is probably the easiest “fancy” dessert you could ever make.

This cake-like bread would go perfectly with a breakfast scramble and tall glass of orange juice.

Flourless Chocolate-Chip Cookies
This is one of my mother’s personal favorite recipes, so I had to include it on here!
Your mom will never guess the secret ingredient.
This recipe is my mom’s #1 all-time favorite recipe on my entire blog!
Question of the Day:
What is the best thing about your mother?
After telling me, be sure to go tell her if you can.
Love this roundup Katie!! thanks 🙂
Aw you reminded me that I need to call my mom. I’m surprising her for Mother’s Day and making a trip down to see her! Shhhh!
How sweet!
hopefully you mom doesn’t read this blog or the comments section.
I love the round ups, I am going to try a couple this weekend!
Thank you so much for taking the time!!
Absolutly EVERYTHING about my mom is wonderful and amazing. I have the worlds best mom- I turn into a kid on the playground when it comes to this- I’ll argue it all day. 🙂 She would love any of these goods– I’ll get busy and bake her some deliciousness!
I love my mom to death 😀 she criticizes me a lot, but she also believes in me, and I wouldn´t be a person who I am today without her… I only wish I could send her that chocolate pie over Atlantic ocean, because I´m currently as foreign exchange student in U.S., and she is still in Czech. Oh well, I think I´ll have to eat that pie on my own and make another one when I get home 😀
Well, my mother is an alcoholic who hasn’t spoken to me in three years…last time was when she successfully destroyed my birthday, lol. I’m laughing now…then I wasn’t. Anyhow, I can say that I’ve learned many lessons from my mother, and many of the ‘good’ qualities I have, I credit them as coming from her. My deep love and compassion for animals and being able to see when someone just really needs a hug and not ‘advice’.
On a brighter note, I LOVE the round-ups. Helps give me suggestions on recipes to try I might not have otherwise thought to look for. I agree with many others…probably the ones who are complaining are doing so because they just like to leave negative remarks? Most people tend to appreciate things but not really say anything… It’s like I learned from being in the restaurant industry for so long. When people have a good experience, they *might* tell three people. But when people have a bad experience, they will tell at least ten people and shout it from the rooftops. Unfortunately humans tend to dwell on negativity and forget to see all the good and positive blessings that are all around–like this super sweet and yummy blog!
It is probably good you can have a sense of humor about it now. I loved how you pointed out that sometimes the good qualities come from knowing what you don’t want to be or like you said, the painful lessons that you have learned.
I like the recipe round-ups, too! I guess they could get a little out of hand, but I think they are a great way for you to take a break from coming up with something new ALL the time- that has to be really difficult!
With that said, has anyone had any luck actually rolling the jelly roll? I have tried twice and the little bugger just won’t roll, not even a little 🙁 Is there a trick I should know??? I like the recipe regardless, but the little roll is so darn cute!
Hmmm… do you roll it right away or wait awhile first?
OK. Now I really want to try this one! It has been on my list since I first saw it. It is like the “will it roll challenge!” LOL. If I get a chance I will let you know. 🙂
OK. Good news. I did a quick run this morning and mine did roll – and even likes to stick together once rolled!
I did cut it in half (length-wise) to make two. There was some minor splitting on the final layer. I did a coconut butter filled and a banana split butter version.
I did follow the non-preheat oven and the 10 minutes of cooling.
The best thing about my mom is how she supports me through everything. Even when I have been in the wrong she stood by my side and helped me work my way through things.
‘Oh yay!!! My sister and I decided to do the breakfast in bed this Mother’s day… so thanks!
Best thing about my mom? She is the most even tempered person I know. I’ve said some hurtful things in the past to her, but she never raises her voice or anything. ANd believe me, when I see how sad I make her, it’s worse than a punishment! She is truly a Proverbs 31/Titus 2 woman.
p.s.- Is it bad to make all this stuff for myself on Mother’s day too? PLEASE?
Count me in as one who also loves the recipe round-ups! (Why oh why haven’t I made that peach cobbler yet?? Every time I see the pic it looks amazing.) But I’m also fine with only seeing them for holidays and the like. But hey, there are holidays every month of the year, right? (c;
And the best thing about my mom is how tough she is. She’s been through a lot over the years, and she’s still a happy person who will give you the shirt off her back.
