If you've ever been to the Macaroni Grill, you know all about this bread. It's served before the meal with olive oil and fresh cracked pepper to dip it in. It's warm, fragrant and just delicious. I found this knockoff recipe and just had to try it. Since becoming kid poor, Zack and I don't… Continue reading Macaroni Grill Rosemary Bread

I'm so very blessed. My family knows exactly what I like. And this Christmas I got a ton of new Bakerlady toys. Including (drumroll please) a 3/4 cup measuring cup! Woo-hoo!! I can't wait to try out some of the recipes in my new cookbooks! There are a couple cookie recipes that look really interesting.… Continue reading Bakerlady Gifts
Mod Podge Coasters
I am not a crafty person. Seriously not creative with anything but food. However, I saw the idea for these coasters and thought that even I could manage to make them. They take a little time, but are not hard at all. The finished result is just adorable - and useful too! You can customize… Continue reading Mod Podge Coasters
Baked Eggnog French Toast
It's a Christmas morning tradition in our home to have a big gorgeous breakfast together. For many years I've made french toast, eggs, bacon, sausage etc. for my family. This year, I decided to try something that would keep me away from all that flipping bread over a hot griddle. I've tried overnight french toast… Continue reading Baked Eggnog French Toast
Old-Fashioned Gingerbread
Gingerbread is classic Christmas fare. Most people think of cookies shaped like little men when they hear the word gingerbread - but ever since I discovered the old-fashioned kind, I've given up the little men with gumdrop buttons. This stuff is just so much better! This recipe is really versatile - you can make this… Continue reading Old-Fashioned Gingerbread
Almond Roca
This is probably my most favorite Christmas baking item. It's also the most difficult to get done. Not because the recipe itself is particularly hard, but because candy making is a little bit of a science. In the area that I live, the weather is my biggest obstacle when trying to make almond roca. When… Continue reading Almond Roca
OREO Truffles
Easiest recipe ever. Seriously. You will be amazed at how simple these are. And how many compliments (and marriage proposals) you'll get from people eating these. They are amazing. If you have a food processor, these literally take about 3 minutes to throw together. Crushing the cookies by hand will up the prep time a… Continue reading OREO Truffles
Crispy Peanut Butter Balls
I know I've posted this recipe before, but it's just so stinkin good. And easy. And gluten free! I'm always looking for things I can feed to my Celiac sister and her kiddos. Three ingredients? Can't beat that! I melt a tablespoon of peanut butter in a baggie for about 10 seconds and snip the… Continue reading Crispy Peanut Butter Balls
Nuts n’ Bolts (aka: Chex Mix)
This is an absolutely classic Christmas recipe. My mom's giant tupperware bowls only came out once a year - to make Chex mix at Christmas time. We called it Nuts n' Bolts - and as soon as it was placed on paper towels to cool, we were sneaking bites. I don't care for the recipe… Continue reading Nuts n’ Bolts (aka: Chex Mix)
Feeling Hot, Hot, Hot
I was out Christmas shopping all day today with one of my favorite people on earth. My sister Amy. Who is not a shopper. Not at all. She was such a good sport today though and we both finished our lists! Yippee. We rewarded ourselves with a Mexican dinner at one of our favorite places… Continue reading Feeling Hot, Hot, Hot
