I saw these in Rachael Ray's latest magazine and thought they would be a beautiful addition to my Christmas baking baskets. These were really good. I loved the pairing of the chocolate and peppermint. I would recommend baking these for a few minutes less as mine were a little harder than I would like. I will definitely make these again.

I've been wanting to make iced sugar cookies for quite sometime. I searched and searched for a great recipe and came across The Fabulous Sugar Cookie recipe from A Year in the Kitchen & Good Things Catered. I also decided I would do a comparison since everyone is always looking for a good sugar cookie recipe. I paired these up with Martha Stewart's Basic Sugar Cookie Recipe. I decorated … Read More
My friend Kattie brought this delicious holiday treat to our Christmas recipe swap. I could hardly stay out of it. It was so delicious that I decided to make it to go in my Christmas goodie baskets. This comes together quickly and uses ingredients that you keep on hand. Plus you don't have to use a candy thermometer-which is great, since I put that on my list for Santa to get me. This has a … Read More
For as long as I can remember Christmas has always included baking with my mom. Every year we make this savory little snack and everyone loves it. These crackers are so delicious, but be warned are very addictive! It's always a delight to give bags of this out every Christmas and it's a tradition that will always continue in our family.

This week's holiday hint is all about holiday decor. There are several things you can do that don't cost a ton and look beautiful and festive. Our theme is kind of like a candy winter wonderland. We have several peppermint/candy items combined with snowflake dishes. The first year we were married I made a gumdrop tree. IUnfortunately I can't find the picture of it. It was so cute but it took … Read More
I got this wonderfully delicious cheeseball recipe from my mother-in-law. She is an amazing cook and this appetizer lives up to it's name. I served it at my recipe swap last week and it was a huge hit! It's creamy and also has a nice salty bite to it. Plus, all the ingredients were things I had on hand, so I could whip this up in a pinch for a quick appetizer. Crowd Pleasing Cheese … Read More
My recipe swap party was a huge success. We all had such a great time. One of the desserts I made were the ever popular cake pops from Bakerella. They turned out so cute. I do need to work on my piping skills, however. I had a styrofoam tree left over from a craft project from last year, so I decided to make a cake pop tree. I used chocolate cake with vanilla frosting. Next time I am going to … Read More
This evening my mom, brother & I made these cute Christmas wreaths out of rice krispies that my mom had found in a Rice Krispies Ad in Family Fun Magazine. No only are these so cute, but they are delicious! The little bit of icing really adds a nice flavor to your traditional rice krispy treat. They were super easy to make and took no time to throw together. These would be a great … Read More
We got the amazing opportunity to go to the SEC Championship this past weekend through Adam's work. Adam is a HUGE Alabama fan and I really like them too (when they aren't playing Tennessee) so we were super excited. We had such a great time!! We went down the day before and did some Christmas shopping and also so we could get up early the next morning and go to College Gameday. We both love … Read More
I have had a galette on my baking to do list for a long while now. I don't know why it just intimidated me and I kept putting it off. Well, not this time. I was determined to make this for Thanksgiving. I have no idea why I was so intimidated, because it was not too difficult to put together. I made the dough ahead of time and wrapped and refrigerated, so come time to make it, it was no … Read More
