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

Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies
There's a girl I know. She bakes a lot of wonderful things. She says these are her favorite cookie. If, of all the delicious things she creates, these are her top pick, they must be awesome. I had to try them for myself. But just one. I'm selling the rest tomorrow at our garage sale.… Continue reading Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies
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
Easy French Bread
My husband says I should call this Freedom Bread. But I just can't do it. French bread is a classic. One of the foods I would want if I was ever on a deserted island (and cheese/butter please). I made this quickly and easily in my bread machine, but you can do this recipe even… Continue reading Easy French Bread
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

This is a delicious filling breakfast dish that you can easily make for brunches, playdates, lazy Saturday mornings or whenever you have a hankerin for a special (but simple) breakfast. You can put the whole thing together the night before and just pop it in the oven at your leisure in the morning. I absolutely… Continue reading Easy Cheesy Breakfast Bake
S’mores Bars
Baseball equals s'mores. Bear with me. I swear my thoughts make logical sense in my head. I'll try to help you keep up. Today, I went outside because I saw a bright yellow orb in the sky. I had to find out what it was. The sun! Fantastic! My husband used the opportunity to teach… Continue reading S’mores Bars
Samoas Bars
Girl Scouts, and their cookies are evil. Little girls in little outfits, their adorable patches and vests and all those delightful rectangular boxes of deliciousness. Eager smiles and bright eyes saying "Would you like to buy some cookies?". I managed to avoid them this year. I hid my face, pretended to be deaf, did all… Continue reading Samoas Bars
Secret Ingredient Revealed
I had some feedback from my sister today. She was not happy that I didn't share the second secret ingredient in my America's Test Piggy's Parlor Buttermilk Pancakes. She wanted to make them and felt they wouldn't be super awesome if she didn't know the secret. Just in case any of the rest of you… Continue reading Secret Ingredient Revealed
America’s Test & Piggy’s Parlor Buttermilk Pancakes
I've had a go-to pancake recipe for a while that I love. My kids gobble them up, they come together quickly and I make dozens of batches thru the year. Today I was pondering what to do for dinner and (thanks to a breakfast for other meals conversation I had earlier in the day) I… Continue reading America’s Test & Piggy’s Parlor Buttermilk Pancakes
