I know what you're thinking. I don't need a recipe for rice crispy treats. I've made them since I was 12 years old. The recipe is on the back of the cereal box for Pete's sake! Just hear me out. Have you ever had a rice crispy treat that was too dry? Too skinny? Skimpy… Continue reading Rice Crispy Treats

White Chocolate Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies
I generally do not like raisins in my baked goods. Oatmeal raisin cookies are pretty much my one exception. However, once I substituted white chocolate chips and dried cranberries for the raisins in this recipe - the plain old raisin variety pretty much bit the dust. These cookies are just how a good cookie should… Continue reading White Chocolate Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies
Tonya’s Super Fantastic Scones
I have pretty much become famous off these scones - at least in my small corner of the world. My sisters ask me to bring them to anything they can: camping trips, brunches, bridal or baby showers, Mother's Day, treat-day at school. You name it, I'm asked to bring these. The sour cream and baking… Continue reading Tonya’s Super Fantastic Scones
No Bakes “Mountain Bars”
I've been making mountain bars since I was a kid. They were actually one of the first recipes I ever made on my own (Thanks Mom!). This is the same recipe I've been making forever, except I pumped up the chocolate...cause you can never have too much chocolate. The key to perfect mountain bars is… Continue reading No Bakes “Mountain Bars”

Amy's turn for treats is coming up - which means I'll be baking for the class. Here's a little poll so her peeps can decide what they'd… Continue reading Vote For Amy’s Class Treats!

Many pound cake recipes require lots of fuss. Here's instructions I found regarding the proper making of a pound cake: *Make sure that all of your ingredients are at room temperature, particularly the fat, eggs and any liquid you may be using. It's essential that all these items be at room temperature: If the butter… Continue reading Simple Lemon Pound Cake
Peanut Butter Cup Cookies
This is one of my all time favorite cookies to make. First of all, peanut butter cups are like the perfect treat. Bite sized, chocolate/peanut-y deliciousness. The only thing that could make them more perfect is to wrap them in a peanut butter cookie. I once had to remake these cookies three times between Thanksgiving… Continue reading Peanut Butter Cup Cookies
Crispy Peanut Butter Balls
A few days before any family trip I turn into somewhat of a baking monster. Something inside my brain clicks over into crazy bakerlady mode and I make piles of food. Seriously - if the end of the world happens when I'm away somewhere camping, my family will survive for at least 3 months just… Continue reading Crispy Peanut Butter Balls
Fusilli with Veggie Medley
Happy September! It's officially time to get out my leaf garlands, scarecrows and hay bales. This is my favorite time of year, and as the weather grows a bit chilly at night, I wanted to take advantage of some of the still fresh veggies of summer. So for dinner tonight it was a light pasta… Continue reading Fusilli with Veggie Medley
Cheater Cilantro Lime Shrimp
Sometimes, I just don't feel like an elaborate meal. Thankfully, I have a secret weapon. Costco. A few days ago I picked up a container of cilantro lime shrimp from there, not really sure what I was going to do with it, but certain it would become the base of a simple yet delicious meal.… Continue reading Cheater Cilantro Lime Shrimp
