As per most get-togethers, I was asked to bring my scones to this weekend's bridal shower. However, there was some discussion as to which variety. My two sisters wanted chocolate chip as well as blueberry scones. But my nanny and mom are partial to the cranberry orange version. So - I made all three. Since… Continue reading More scones

Fudge Frosting
This is a great fudge-y frosting for topping cookies, frosting cakes or just eating with a spoon. What? Doesn't everyone do that? Today, I piped it on top of my Melt-in-your-mouth Shortbread. I also used the extra to slap between two graham crackers - a super easy family favorite treat. Fudge Frosting 2 ounces semi-sweet… Continue reading Fudge Frosting
Melt-In-Your-Mouth Shortbread
My favorite thing about these quick little shortbread bites is that they really do simply melt in your mouth. My second favorite thing is that there's only 4 ingredients - all of which you probably have in your cupboard already. Melt In Your Mouth Shortbread 1 cup butter, softened 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar 1/4 cup… Continue reading Melt-In-Your-Mouth Shortbread
Lemon Bars
The key to great lemon bars is to use lots of fresh lemon zest and juice. The bright tart lemon is a perfect complement to the rich buttery crust. This recipe will fit into a 9x13 casserole dish just fine, but you'll end up with a thinner bar. I like my lemon bars to have… Continue reading Lemon Bars
Dutch Apple Pie
My husband is not really a fan of sweets. Which is probably good since I'm baking all the time. However, he loves pie. So, on top of all my baking for going away this weekend - I made him an apple pie. I'm one of those people who views the crust as simply something that… Continue reading Dutch Apple Pie
Rice Crispy Treats
I know what you're thinking. I don't need a recipe for rice crispy treats. I've made them since I was 12 years old. The recipe is on the back of the cereal box for Pete's sake! Just hear me out. Have you ever had a rice crispy treat that was too dry? Too skinny? Skimpy… Continue reading Rice Crispy Treats
White Chocolate Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies
I generally do not like raisins in my baked goods. Oatmeal raisin cookies are pretty much my one exception. However, once I substituted white chocolate chips and dried cranberries for the raisins in this recipe - the plain old raisin variety pretty much bit the dust. These cookies are just how a good cookie should… Continue reading White Chocolate Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies
Tonya’s Super Fantastic Scones
I have pretty much become famous off these scones - at least in my small corner of the world. My sisters ask me to bring them to anything they can: camping trips, brunches, bridal or baby showers, Mother's Day, treat-day at school. You name it, I'm asked to bring these. The sour cream and baking… Continue reading Tonya’s Super Fantastic Scones
No Bakes “Mountain Bars”
I've been making mountain bars since I was a kid. They were actually one of the first recipes I ever made on my own (Thanks Mom!). This is the same recipe I've been making forever, except I pumped up the chocolate...cause you can never have too much chocolate. The key to perfect mountain bars is… Continue reading No Bakes “Mountain Bars”
