A wonderful friend at church paid me a very sweet compliment on my Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes - and mused about what my snickerdoodles must taste like...posted on facebook no less. What a great guy. So, now I am in search of the perfect snickerdoodle recipe for him. Nathan, here's my first effort. Not good enough… Continue reading Snickerdoodles

Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes
The first day of fall isn't technically for another couple of days - but today's weather is my perfect autumn day. As Winnie-the-Pooh would call it, it's a blustery day. A touch of dark storm clouds and a swirling breeze, not quite strong enough to be a full on windy day, but enough to stir… Continue reading Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes

Margarita Dip 1 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese, softened 1/4 C frozen limeade concentrate, partially thawed 2 Tbsp fresh squeezed orange juice 1/2 C thawed whipped topping (Cool Whip) Beat cream cheese, limeade and orange juice in… Continue reading Margarita Dip
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
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.

These cookies are just how a good cookie should… Continue reading White Chocolate Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies

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”

It's essential that all these items be at room temperature: If the butter… Continue reading Simple Lemon Pound Cake
“Perfect” Blueberry Muffins
Autumn is coming! I felt it today as the little droplets of rain hit my cheeks. Smelled it in the air. That crisp, cool fall-y feeling. My favorite season. Baking season. Something about the change in weather at the end of August makes me want to curl up in an oversized sweater with a new… Continue reading “Perfect” Blueberry Muffins
