I'm almost embarrassed to call this a recipe, it's so simple! I was inspired by Gimme Some Oven but I didn't have any puff pastry on hand, so I made the "junior" version of these Easy Nutella Pastries instead. A light, buttery crust and that smooth hazelnut spread join together … [Read more...]
Frosted Sugar Cookies
Every week when I go grocery shopping, my self-control is tested. Many times. But the biggest temptation to walk past is the bakery display of those soft frosted sugar cookies. You know the ones I mean? I just love the chewy cookie with all that decadent frosting on … [Read more...]

Eggnog Cookies: Vol. 2, Day 42
Eggnog is the "pumpkin" of December. You know what I mean? It makes its way into recipes and all over Pinterest during the month of December, just like pumpkin does from the turning of the first leaves in Autumn. But there's a reason it's so popular: IT'S YUMMY. I don't like … [Read more...]
One Dozen Alternatives to Pumpkin Pie
I have a confession to make. I don't really like pumpkin pie. *GASP* I know, it's not very American of me, but I'm just not really a fan. I'll eat a slice that's been buried in whipped cream for Thanksgiving, but that's pretty much just for tradition's sake. Honestly, I'm … [Read more...]
