Happy Election Day to you all. I was just wandering around the Fox News website but there's not much to report just yet. It's still early, especially for those of us out here on the left coast. But I DO have a winning ticket for you! It's the combo of Pillsbury crescent rolls … [Read more...]
Day 151: Caramel Apple Trifle Flop

Day 110: No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Bars
Update: Yay! My phone/photo/computer issues magically fixed themselves, so I was able to post my step-by-step photos below! Today, I dealt with yesterday's chocolate craving. And I managed to do it with a less decadent and over-the-top recipe than yesterday's post. These … [Read more...]
Day 109: Chocolate Chip Cookie and Oreo Fudge Brownie Bar
I'm really craving chocolate tonight! Unfortunately I don't have any of these delicious Chocolate Chip Cookie and Oreo Fudge Bars on hand, but I thought maybe looking at the pictures and remembering what it tasted like might help. I think it was Christmastime last year when I … [Read more...]
Day 81: S’mores Dip
Before Henry hurt his arm and we thought it was broken and had to leave for the ER, we were having a nice little party last night. It was a casual get together with friends after church, so I went all out. Paper plates, paper napkins, plastic forks and a "serve yourself" … [Read more...]
Cowboy Cookies
These tasty cookies from Laura Bush, via Lemons and Lima Beans are appropriately named! They are hearty and filling and have just about everything in the pantry in them! (Really, they should be called "everything but the kitchen sink cookies.) I was afraid that my … [Read more...]
Day 70: Meltaways
Our a/c conked out today, so my house was in the mid-eighties this afternoon. We escaped to Grandma and Grandpa's house, and I thought in honor of our adventures today I would blog about Meltaways. These cookies look very pretty are made of so few ingredients they are good … [Read more...]
Day 58: Banana Pudding Poke Cake
Having a baby in the house means that we always have bananas. They really are the perfect baby food. So when I saw a banana pudding (also a favorite dessert) poke cake on Pinterest, I thought it would make a perfect 1st birthday cake. It was cleaner than chocolate, and I knew … [Read more...]
Day 27: 4th of July Cake
So, there is obviously a reason I am NOT a professional baker. I think I bit off more than I could chew with this little "project." My results are far less beautiful than the original! My cake really looks like a child's attempt at an adults job. Kind of like a little girl … [Read more...]
Day 22: Marshmallow Scotchies
I was looking through my pins on my Tried and Reviewed board to see what to blog about today, and I came across these Scotcheroos. I made them for a Christmas party last year, and I remember liking how easy they were and how few ingredients were required. But I did note in my … [Read more...]
Day 19: Butterscotch Cupcakes
This afternoon, I made a critical mistake. I watched Cupcake Wars during those critical "too late for lunch/too early for dinner" hours. And there were no sweets to be found anywhere in the house. I send my husband a text saying I was craving a cupcake and vowed to never watch … [Read more...]
Day 8: Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies with Henry
Anyone who knows me knows that I love chocolate chip cookies. I usually make a couple batches a month at least. The problem is that we eat them all in about a day and a half, so I try not to make them too often. There are at least a hundred different recipes on … [Read more...]
