Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Blondies
I almost forgot to write this post. We got an offer on our house last night, so the whole night was spent discussing what to do. Do you take the offer, or do you counter? Too much stress!!! I just want it all over, so we can move out to Colorado and be a family…
Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chocolate Chip Cookies – classic thick and chewy chocolate chip cookies. Nothing beats a warm chocolate chip cookie straight out of the oven. There is just something about a fresh out of the oven chocolate chip cookie that can’t be beat. I think by this point we all know that I am a huge fan…
Snickerdoodles and a Cookbook Review
One of the perks of writing this blog is getting the chance to review new items, and this time I was given the chance to review a new cookbook. The name of this cook book: The Cookiebedia. How could you not be interested with a name like that! Author Stacy Adimando is a chef and…
Twix Peanut Butter Brownies
Let it be known (not that it was a secret before), I like peanut butter and chocolate together. I have seen so many different versions of peanut butter and chocolate brownies floating around. Some have peanut butter cups, some have just peanut butter, others have peanut butter chips or other candy. Well I had to…
Raspberry Fool
This summer I saw a few different Fool recipes floating around, and all of the claimed that Fool is a traditional English dessert. My Grandma was born and raised in England, my Dad was born in England, and he still has lots of family there. So I was shocked I had never heard of this…
Oatmeal Cranberry White Chocolate Chip Cookies
Today I am over at La Casa De Sweets! I was thrilled when Jackie asked me to do a guest post for her. She is a wonderful blogger, with all sorts of delicious treats to share. Not only does she make great food, but she supports great causes. When you go to her site you…
Double Peanut Butter Bars
** Photos updated as of April 2014 School started last week here. My son went for the first 2 days, and then was home sick. Somehow he managed to get Strep in the first 2 days of school, really? It was a long weekend of trying to get him better. His fever has been impossible…

Blackberry Crumb Cake
Until recently I didn’t think that I liked Blackberries. Not sure how I came to this conclusion, but I have been going off of it for years. Then they were in a fruit salad recently, and I was feeling adventurous and thought what the heck. I live on the edge, don’t I? Well, I liked…
Nutella Cupcakes
Yesterday I posted about Homemade Nutella. It was delicious! I doubled the recipe, because I knew I wanted to make something really good with it. I wasn’t sure what it would be, but after some careful thought, I decided cupcakes! I actually had some cake batter in the freezer from back when I made Molten…

Chocolate Peanut Butter Macarons
I interrupt my strawberry series to bring you Macarons. Hopefully you will find them equally delicious! Before I started blogging, I had never heard of a French Macaron. Then I saw them everywhere, and everyone made them look so pretty, but they had a reputation of being so technically difficult. I was scared to…
Homemade Milky Ways
Milky Way’s are one of my all time favorite candy bars. Since I have started blogging I have seen people making all sorts of candy and crackers and other stuff I never would have thought you could do at home. So when I was trying to come up with something to give my son’s…
Pavlova
I hope everyone had a great long weekend. We got lots done around our house, our yard, and spent time with friends. It was a good weekend, but now back to reality! At least until Friday when we go to see family for a few days! My Sister-in-Law will be up with her kids from…

Happy Sunday morning to everyone! Hope your weekend is going well, and you have a great start to the week! It has been rainy all weekend here, so we haven’t gotten to do much. I took my 6 year old to see the movie Hop yesterday, very cute! Today….organizing a closet. I know, you are…
Monthiversary!
Today marks the day I have had my blog for a month!!! Wow, have I learned a lot in a month. And boy, do I still have a lot to learn! I am choosing to live in denial right now that blogger went down yesterday, and my post from yesterday is just lost in cyber…
Margarita Cake
Friday was Girls Night In, as I wrote about earlier this week. We had a fabulous spread of Mexican food – chips, salsa, guacamole, enchiladas and more! To top off all of this great food, I thought we needed a yummy dessert. This usually is not a problem for me! But, there is a big…
Sugar Cookies
So the final task of the birthday weekend was to make something for the 6 year old to take to school. We discussed cupcakes, and muffins, but finally decided on sugar cookies. But of course, we had to turn them into something Star Wars. Apparently my son isn’t the only boy obsessed with Star Wars…
