Daily Indulgence: May 2011

Today we're prescribing a 24-hour dose of easy treats (like these doughnuts) and mindless activities. MyRecipes orders!

Let the scooping begin! Scoop yourself a heaping spoonful of this warm, crunchy crisp. And don’t stop there! Add a scoop of ice cream to melt over your dessert.

Float through today on light, fluffy clouds of white chocolate. And no worries; the only drizzles you’ll see are ones of gooey caramel.

Buckle your seatbelts for a ride with cups of chocolate, peanut butter, and marshmallows. Now that’s a rocky road worth traveling down!

Well, what do we have here? It’s just the ultimate Mexican dip that includes all of your favorites on one plate. Feliz Cinco de Mayo from MyRecipes!

Shedding the pounds? Not today! Celebrate International No-Diet Day by indulging in (what else?) a pound cake smothered in ice cream and two sauces.

Use the Kentucky Derby as an excuse to mix up this classic race-day cocktail. We won’t tell anyone you’ve never heard of Uncle Mo or Pants On Fire.

Brighten mom's day with the royal treatment. She'll feel like a queen when you serve her breakfast in bed.

The fairy cupcake mother heard your request for cupcakes so divine, they need no icing. Bippity boppity boo! Your wish just come true!

On Eat What You Want Day (seriously, look it up) we could choose any recipe in the books to bake. Our choice is the simple goodness of this Southern indulgence.

S'mores went on strike. Demanding cooler working conditions and an ingredient raise, their recipe made amends with some pretty sweet modifications.

Hear the crunch of the topping, smell the blueberries baking, and feel the cool ice cream hit your mouth? That's sensory overload at its finest!

We went and painted this insanely decadent cake with strawberries, frosting, and a lemony glaze. This is one instance where drips are encouraged!

Don't desserts taste better when they're easy to make? We think so (hence this creamy, chocolaty pie). Go on, that first bite’s all yours!

Not all cupcakes are created equal. Take this rebel, for instance. He broke all the rules, went savory, and topped things off with cream cheese and bacon.

It's hard to beat a warm slice of banana bread. That's why we're sending this recipe your way...along with three flavor variations for the ultimate experience.

Peanut butter? Here. Chocolate? Present. Flour? Flour? Well, looks like flour is playing hooky, but we can still make these cookies without it!

"The Beat Goes On" when you whip up a batch of these sweet little kisses on Cher's birthday. (If you want kisses from her, you're on your own.)

It's a martini, it's a margarita. No, it's the super minty mojito flying in to refresh your day and save happy hours everywhere!

We're no mind readers, but we know what you're about to ask. And the answer is, yes, we do think everything is better with icing. (Don't you?)

Vanessa is the hostess with the mostess. Not only did she max out this lasagna with all the cheese, meat, and sauce one dish could hold, but she also poured you a glass of wine.

We made the executive decision, and today is Strawberry Cake Day. We can't give you the day off, but we can give you this celebratory dessert.

Stand up, peanut butter lovers, and rejoice in this cool, creamy pie. And we didn't forget you, chocoholics. You can see what we threw in just on your behalf.

Leave it to a 13-year-old to fill chocolate cupcakes with gooey marshmallow. We don't like your cakes, Joe, we love them!

Just by looking at it, you can tell this dessert is a treasure. What are all of those yummy sweets in that ice cream bar? You’ll just have to taste it to find out.

Who said chocolate and cherries were only served on Valentine's Day? We serve it year-round, and even for breakfast!

There's no better way to celebrate Memorial Day than with a red, white, and blueberry dessert.
