Wondering what in the world to do with all the leftover Easter candy? I say turn it into a cookie! These blondies are out of this world. They were gone in less than day. Cadbury Mini Eggs…you know those chocolate eggs with the candy shell? They are mixed throughout a buttery blondie batter. I’ll say […]
So it was just Easter weekend, my mother-in-law was visiting and my oven decided to go caput. Can you even imagine? I mean, a blogger with no oven? I am going through serious withdrawal (it’s still not fixed as of right now). But that wasn’t even the worst part. How was I suppose to cook […]
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I’ve done a couple of posts with my Easy Vanilla Buttercream Frosting and since I had some mint frosting leftover from the Mint Oreo Brownies I made last week, I thought I could make these cookies a bit more festive and turn them into a little St. Patty’s day dessert. And […]
This is an amazing sugar cookie recipe – you can roll them thin and they still turn out soft (just the way I like them!) or use a cookie scoop and make regular cookies. I made these for Valentine’s Day, so I used my heart shape cookie cutters and lots of pink, red and white […]
These are certainly “loaded”, don’t you think? I made these as a special Valentine’s Day treat, so obviously chose lots of pinks and reds for the sprinkles and candy. So easy to make all year round and use other colors for different Holidays! I started out by having a plate of sprinkles, which I dipped […]
I adapted these for Valentine’s Day from my Pretzel and M&M Holiday Treats. And how precious?! Such a pretty treat to give away to friends and family for Valentine’s Day. Pretzels, topped with Hershey’s Hugs and Valentine’s Day pink, red and white M&M’s. You can use round pretzels or waffle pretzels – I’m not partial. […]
Pork and sauerkraut is a tradition in our family for New Year’s Day. We grew up in smack dab in the middle of Pennsylvania Dutch country and it is believed by them that eating pork and sauerkraut will bring you good luck all year long. So, really, it’s necessary… I make mine in the Crock […]
Happy New Year y’all!! I am so excited for what 2014 will bring. We will be welcoming our baby girl in March and are looking to make a pretty big move back up North to be closer to family. Lots of changes for our growing family!! We had a very low key New Year’s Eve […]
My mom makes the best mint fudge. But, when I asked her for the recipe, she told me she actually uses one bag of mint chocolate chips (not the green ones!) and one bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips. And I could not find mint chocolate chips anywhere! So, I made do with peppermint extract. Still […]
I know that classic sand tarts are typically sprinkled with a cinnamon-sugar mixture, but I thought it would be so fun to decorate these for Christmas. After all, I typically only make these around this time anyway!I had the best helper…my daughter, who turns 4 on Christmas Eve, practically did everything herself. I rolled the dough, she cut the […]
