I'm making peanut butter and chocolate for two reasons. I needed a snack to bring to conference championship weekend (it's a football thing - pretty much the best day in the NFL all year) and secondly, I don't really like peanut butter chocolate things. Since I'm trying to drop a few pounds, I need to… Continue reading Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites

Apple Pancake Rings
My kids love pancakes. I love pancakes. But I also want to give a little more nutrition at breakfast than what is essentially all doughy bready goodness...dipped in sugar. So when I saw this recipe, I thought I'd give it a try. My kids picked the cinnamon pancake from around the apples. Epic Mommy fail.… Continue reading Apple Pancake Rings
Lemon Monkey Bread
Every monkey bread recipe I've ever seen is made with butter and brown sugar resulting in a caramel covered pull apart bread. This recipe intrigued me because of its main ingredient. Lemon. Lemon? Yes indeed. It is a bright fresh citrus bread drizzled with butter, lemony sugar and a sweet glaze. Lemon is so vibrant… Continue reading Lemon Monkey Bread
Ridiculously Easy Homemade Doughnuts
Or, donuts...if you prefer it that way. Whichever way you like, these are amazingly good. They quite possibly belong atop my ease/deliciousness chart. Whenever I make something, I mentally rate it on a scale of how simple or difficult the recipe is versus how delicious the food turns out. No, I'm not OCD enough to… Continue reading Ridiculously Easy Homemade Doughnuts
Orange Creamsicle Cookies
What's orange and white and delicious all over? Ok. Besides candy corn. Creamsicles!! Fresh orange sherbet with creamy vanilla ice cream. Cold and melty and just perfect. For summer. So why am I making a creamsicle cookie in the midst of a snow threat? Well, it's simple really. During the winter I keep my house… Continue reading Orange Creamsicle Cookies
Churros
What happens when a girl who loves Disneyland has leftover cinnamon sugar? She makes churros. I have been longing for Disneyland churros for about two weeks now. They are my absolute favorite thing to eat there. Well, the Pomme Frites from Cafe Orleans are also amazing. And I do love a frosty Dole Whip. But… Continue reading Churros
Reese’s Peanut Butter Bars
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
