Chocolate Peppermint Cookies

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 […]

Black & White Red Velvet Cookies

Tonight I am having a Christmas Appetizer & Dessert recipe swap at my house with the girls from my Sunday School Class. I racked my brain for what to make for the dessert part, and so many things came to mind. I decided to go to my magazine clippings binder to the holiday baking section […]

Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Pecan Pie

I found this recipe in a Cooking Light magazine last year and made it for dinner with friends. It was such a hit, that I decided to make it for Thanksgiving this year. It doesn’t originally call for chocolate chips but Adam (as always) suggested adding them in. I wasn’t sure at first, but they […]

Buttermilk Crumb Cake

I found this cake on Annie’s Eats and Brown Eyed Baker. It is super moist, rich and delicious! I was in a hurry though and took mine out a few minutes too soon, so it was a bit underdone in the middle-but I just cut around those parts:) This is so yummy and would be […]

I then found out that our church was baking goodies for some people in the community and I thought that would be the perfect opportunity to try these out, especially since […]

No-Bake Cookies

Ever since I was a little girl, these have been some of my favorite cookies. They are so addictive! We always referred to them as cow patties. They may not look pretty, but they are melt in your mouth divine! Just a note of caution-these are not healthy at all! I was wanting to use […]

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Blondies

Sunday afternoon, I wanted to bake something in celebration of the Titans come-back victory over the Ravens. They are 5-0!! I had seen these blondies recently on Good Things Catered and she had adapted them from Baking Blonde. These looked so scrumptious, I just had to try them. And of course, I had to make […]

Caramel Apple Kiss Blondies

I recently visited Dinner & Dessert’s blog and was inspired by how she swirled pumpkin spice hershey kisses into her batch of brownies. Then, I remembered seeing caramel apple hershey kisses at the grocery store, and I thought the caramel apple flavor would be perfect in a blondie. They were!! The kisses are really delicious […]
