Bible study tonight! I whipped up this decadent (totally easy) no-bake pie to get rid of the package of Oreo® Cookies that have been calling my name for the past couple days. Make sure you use only the amount of milk in the recipe, not what the pudding box calls for. Otherwise you'll end up… Continue reading Triple Layer Oreo® Pie

Lemon Pancakes
My Auntie Julie used to make lemon pancakes when I was little. I always loved having breakfast over there. I asked her a while back what she did to make them so delicious and she laughed and told me it's just basic pancakes thinned out topped with lemon and powdered sugar. So, yesterday when making… Continue reading Lemon Pancakes
Shortbread Three Ways
I love versatile recipes. This one I got from my cousin's blog - care of the Barefoot Contessa. Today, I made it into three different cookies. Part of it I turned into Emilys. Others into Raspberry Linzers and then just cut out some pretty leaf shapes and did a little chocolate and roasted peanut action… Continue reading Shortbread Three Ways
Raspberry Linzers

Emilys
Yesterday I made an amazing discovery. I love people and I love food. Well, I already knew those things, but here's the discovery. I bake because I enjoy it, but more because I love the people in my life and want them to have delicious things. I've made a decision. Someday, when I have my… Continue reading Emilys
Vanilla Dipping Sauce
When I made my Applesauce Drop Doughnuts the other day, I felt it was missing something. I found this recipe from pastry chef Amy Foster of Tallula, and decided it would perfectly complement the fluffy doughnuts. I added vanilla bean innards to mine, which gives it the beautiful specks of black. I took the remaining… Continue reading Vanilla Dipping Sauce

Pumpkin Puree
This is one of my favorite memories of Halloween growing up. Every year, we carved our pumpkins the day of Halloween as a family. We lined them up like little soldiers on the pathway of my parents house to light the way for the hoards of trick-or-treaters. Then, first thing the next morning, my mom… Continue reading Pumpkin Puree
Simple Caramel Apples
Yesterday I went in search of caramels to make my Halloween tradition, Caramel Apples. I had to visit three stores before I found one that had them in stock. It was very frustrating - but, these babies are totally worth the irritation. You can go crazy with decorating caramel apples...drizzle with melted chocolate, rolled in… Continue reading Simple Caramel Apples
Applesauce Drop Doughnuts
I made these tonight for our annual family trick-or-treating extravaganza. They were crispy on the outside and warm and soft on the inside. They were awesome! Next time, I'll make some kind of dipping sauce (raspberry maybe, or possibly a vanilla bean custard) and try rolling them in powdered sugar. I think that would make… Continue reading Applesauce Drop Doughnuts
