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

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
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
Double Chocolate Brownie Cookies
It's pastor appreciation month. And I think my pastor pretty much rocks. He also likes my baked goods. Which makes him even more awesome. A few weeks ago he mentioned that he loves cookies that are the texture of brownies, with chocolate chips in them. He used to have them in Australia, but hasn't found… Continue reading Double Chocolate Brownie Cookies
Toffee Fudge Puddles
Tonight, I was supposed to be making phallic shaped candies for my sister's bachelorette party tomorrow night. But, I found out my cousin Shannon is making similarly shaped cookies, and felt that the candy molded "members" would be a little redundant. So, I made these babies instead. I combined parts of three recipes and added… Continue reading Toffee Fudge Puddles
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
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”
