You are going to hate me for giving you this recipe. Either that, or you'll want to erect a monument in your town square. Possibly to me. More likely to these peanut butter bars. They are amazing. In every way. Totally easy. 5 minutes into the pan, no baking easy. Sinfully delicious. I am not… Continue reading Reese’s Peanut Butter Bars

Fruit Salsa & Cinnamon Chips
I was trying to sort thru some old photos on my computer today when I came across a few I didn't even remember taking. Also, about 20,000 pictures of my kids. Wow. It's a wonder they aren't blind from all the flash bulbs going off in their faces. I apparently took pictures of food well… Continue reading Fruit Salsa & Cinnamon Chips
Honeyed Apple Peanut Butter Tart
Let's face it. My kids have more access to treats and sweet delights than most little munchkins do. I'm always baking something and although my daughter (in general) has her father's sweet tooth - or lack thereof - my son LOVES everything I make. He would eat baked goods all day every day if I… Continue reading Honeyed Apple Peanut Butter Tart
Valentine’s Day Butter Mints
I think of butter mints alongside turkey and stuffing, not hearts and flowers. Thanksgiving always meant butter mints when I was a kid. My Nanny (English grandmother, not baby-sitter) would have a bowl of them sitting on top of her giant TV, temptingly out of reach. It was the best turkey day ever when I… Continue reading Valentine’s Day Butter Mints
Puff Pastry Pinwheels
Gorgeous food makes a bad day better. It makes a good day amazing. Beautiful breakfast treats can change your whole outlook by setting your mood from the first tweet of the morning songbirds. These pinwheels look really impressive but are totally quick and easy to create. They would make an excellent addition to your next… Continue reading Puff Pastry Pinwheels
Shortbread Tarts
These delectable morsels are perfect for just about any occasion. Elegant enough for a bridal or baby shower and bite sized for an appetizer heavy party. You can make large quantities of them easily and highlight any of the best fruits of whatever season you're in. I went with raspberries because I don't think there's… Continue reading Shortbread Tarts
Life In The Way & Crispy Peanut Butter Balls
I've been hearing from many of you about how long it's been since I posted anything. First of all, I appreciate being missed. You make me feel so loved. Second. I'm sorry. I was shocked to look back and realize it's been almost 7 months. For shame for shame!! I wish I had some amazing… Continue reading Life In The Way & Crispy Peanut Butter Balls
Island Vacation Cupcakes
Our worship pastor at church is currently on vacation in Hawaii. How nice to be him. He's posting gorgeous pictures of sandy beaches and brilliant blue skies. I spent my time today huddled in my freezing garage waiting for the few brave souls who could bear the wet dreary 55° day to come check out… Continue reading Island Vacation Cupcakes
Double Chocolate Raspberry Truffles
This is one of my favorite recipes. It requires practically no skill at all, the time commitment is very short and the payoff is HUGE. Your friends will think these chocolates belong in a fancy boutique somewhere. Where people handle things with white gloves and there's soft music playing in the background. The smell alone… Continue reading Double Chocolate Raspberry Truffles
White Chocolate Razz-Ma-Tazz Bars
I was given a cookbook yesterday by a dear friend (thanks Bri!) and couldn't wait to try it out. It's Nestle Classic Recipes, and these bars just had to be made immediately. I love white chocolate. There aren't nearly enough recipes out there that include it. This one paired it with two other amazing flavors.… Continue reading White Chocolate Razz-Ma-Tazz Bars
