Hi, everyone! It’s Samantha from Five Heart Home, and I’m excited to be back today with a recipe that just might help you battle those wintertime blues! In Texas, we haven’t had to endure near the degree of winter weather that other parts of the country have been battling, but it’s still been colder than usual around here, with multiple days of school delayed or cancelled because of ice. The great thing about oranges is that, even though they’re in season during the winter, their fresh taste and dazzling color color scream summer! Regardless of the month of the year, I think you will love these little loaves. A thick slab of this pound cake makes a delightful snack or dessert…and it’s not too shabby with a cup of coffee or a glass of milk as a special breakfast treat either!

Strawberry Cupcakes with Strawberry Cream Cheese Frosting
One of my favorite things about summer is when the ripe strawberries come to Costco. I love buying those big containers and munching on fresh strawberries all day long. Mmmmm! I just love those darn things. So, while the husband was away at Scout camp, this past week, I had my little sister over to keep me company. We medicated my loneliness by painting our nails, going out to eat every day, dancing in the driveway (did you see our Instagram pics?), and scarfing Strawberry Cupcakes with Strawberry Cream Cheese Frosting at midnight. Good times. We obsess over these cupcakes and they’re perfect for using up some of your Costco strawberries. They’re also perfect for loneliness.
Caramel Apple Dapple Cake
So, while everyone else is holding strong to their health goals for the New Year, here I am baking cakes. Just five more days until baby numero six joins the family, and I go back and forth between the ‘I deserve this’ and ‘I’ve got to diet soon anyway’ excuse. Both of which seem to…
Strawberry Yogurt Bundt Cake (she: Jana)
I usually get the “spring fever” bug when the weather in my neck of the woods starts teasing us during February and starts warming up, but this year it’s struck me a wee bit earlier. I think it’s because of the super cold weather we’ve been having, I’m longing for the lighter nights, the smell…

Caramel Cake ~ The Hubs Most Requested Dessert!
Making this Caramel Cake for the first time may, or may NOT have been a good thing. Dan went nuts over it, loved it! Which, is always fun…but, now I am asked to make it like every week! He’ll invite friends over and say, “Mariel’s making an awesome Caramel Cake.” Then he comes and tells…

Peppermint White Chocolate Mousse Trifle ~
I’ve been wanting to make a peppermint trifle for a LONG time…and finally my dreams came true. The Beard Man is not a fan of peppermint, so I’ve never been able to make this because I knew I would have to eat it alone. Not good. But, last Sunday we had a little shin-dig at…
