I love the holiday season because it’s a wonderful excuse to indulge. Candies, cookies – every kind of treat you can imagine right at your fingertips! I have so much fun making all kinds of goodies throughout the season but sometimes it’s nice to make a candy that can be pulled together in just a [...]
I am notorious for “over” baking for Christmas {as if there is such a thing!}. I love making tons of candies and cookies to share with friends and family. It is so fun preparing little packages filled with treats that I know are going to make the recipients smile :) Plus, I get the added [...]

Every Monday Reece comes home with his graded sight word test and each week he scores 10 out of 10. I give him a hug, tell him what a great job he did and that’s that. I thought this week I would surprise him with something special to show him how very proud of him [...]

The best chocolate cheesecake recipe around! Decadent, delicious, divine! Cheesecake is my very favorite dessert. Like my VERY. FAVORITE. dessert. Years ago {like 10+ years ago} I made a Chocolate Cheesecake and it rocked my world. I lost that recipe but while flipping through a magazine a few years back, I came across this recipe [...]
There was this little Mexican restaurant that my Mom and I used to frequent back in the day. Our favorite indulgence was their Flour Tortilla Chips. They would bring out the chips and salsa and the chips bowl would be half corn chips and half flour chips. The corn tortillas chips were always left sitting [...]

These Chocolate Mint Brownies are ridiculously delicious starting with a layer of moist, rich brownie, followed by a mint filling, and topped with a decadent chocolate ganache. Take a deep breath.

There’s nothing quite like the tantalizing aroma of cookies baking in the oven. I find that the entire process of making cookies, from taking out the ingredients to pulling them out of the oven, is just so satisfying. I really enjoy having my kids help me in the kitchen – well, most of the time! [...]
Do I have a recipe for you today! Fried Raviolis! So unbelievably delicious – and easy too! Several years ago I discovered Kikkoman Panko Bread Crumbs and it changed the way I cook. Panko bread crumbs are perfect for baking OR frying and provide that satisfying crunch to so many recipes. Many people don’t realize that Panko [...]

I stumbled upon this idea last month while making cookies for Bryce’s birthday party. The boys decided they wanted to frost and decorate some cookies we had made but I didn’t have any colored sugar. After a moment of thought I decided I would try to make my own colored sugar. My first attempt was [...]
Last year I saved this recipe from a magazine but I never got around to making it until now. Big mistake. A yummy twist on the after dinner mint – these cookies are so incredibly scrumptious and gloriously green! Using the cookie mix means minimal mess and super easy! The boys had a good time [...]
Had me at “candy corn” and sealed the deal with “fudge“. I have a small obsession with candy corn. I don’t know why I love it so much but I always have – I’m just thankful it’s only available one month out of the year or I’d have a big problem on my hands – [...]
Earlier I shared my Thai Kitchen House Party with you and I wanted to provide you with some of the recipes that were big hits at the party. The sliders were very well received. I doubled the recipe and had people eating the chicken straight out of the bowl before I could make up more [...]
