One of my favorite things about the holidays is all the baking I get to do. It really is warm here in southern California for most of the year, so I don't like to use my oven very often. But the closer we get to Christmas, the cooler the nights and mornings are, and then I get … [Read more...]
Times Square OREO Cookie Balls
Ring in the New Year with these glittery Times Square OREO Cookie Balls. They are easy to make and taste delicious with milk! This last weekend I hosted my first cookie exchange. We had Oatmeal Butterscotch cookies, Cranberry and White Chocolate Soft Batch (you may be seeing … [Read more...]
Chocolate Orange Butter Cookies
I first tried the recipe for these butter cookies back when I made Strawberry Lemon Butter Cookies at the end of Summer. I just loved how easy the dough recipe was to throw together and it's a wonderful blank slate. At the time, I wrote a note to myself to try a chocolate … [Read more...]
Strawberry Lemon Butter Cookies and Doctor Who
Tomorrow, the next season of Doctor Who (or series as they call it in the UK) begins. My husband dragged me kicking and screaming into the science fiction fantasy world of Doctor Who. Now, it's one of my favorite shows. Occasionally throughout the show, the Doctor will enjoy a … [Read more...]
Double Berry Cookie Pie
Anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE chocolate chip cookies. If I could only have one sweet for the rest of my life, it would be homemade chocolate chip cookies. A close second would have to be Albertson's bakery cookies. Those things are like crack! I blame all of my … [Read more...]
Thin Mint Brownies
Yes, you read that correctly. THIN MINT brownies. And no, I did not get in a time machine and travel back to Girl Scout Cookie season. Nor did I hoard Thin Mints for the last several months in my garage. (Like that would even be possible with my husband living here.) Actually, … [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...]
S’mores Cookies: Vol. 2, Day 52
This week in our homeschool co-op we studied the state of Pennsylvania. Did you know that the Philadelphia Zoo is the oldest zoo in America? Or that the longest stone arch bridge in the world is in PA? I learned a lot about the rich history of the state while preparing … [Read more...]
Chocolate Covered Strawberry Lasagna
For me, Valentine's Day brings to mind long-stemmed red roses and chocolate. LOTS of chocolate. One year, my husband ordered these amazing chocolate covered strawberries for me. They were HUGE and oh-so-good! I wanted to recreate those flavors with a … [Read more...]
Nutella Energy Bites: Vol. 2, Day 44
I always thought I hated Nutella. Honestly, the packaging leaves a little to be desired. It's a bit plain and for some reason, spreading it on toast just looks disgusting. BUT, when I finally tried it, I was in love. Ok, that may be a bit of an overstatement, but I … [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...]
