There are so many cookie recipes out there, it’s hard to say I have a favorite. I’m a sucker for a fantastic peanut butter cookie recipe (check mine out here). Then there are oatmeal raisin that are so comforting and make the entire house smell like grandma’s. A classic fallback are good ole chocolate chip cookies, which I tend to make the most. But really, why pick one when you could have them all? Continue reading “Baking Cookies in Monstrous Proportions: Monster Cookie Recipe”
Being in Hawaii for Spring Break was incredibly inspiring. I can see why artists go on extravagant adventures to places they’ve never been before. Getting to experience such a unique culture in Maui was eye opening and exciting! I saw new animals, ate new foods, smelled new plants, and breathed the ocean air in a way I never had before.

One of my most loved recipes is for lemon squares. They are intensely tart and fresh tasting, with a thin, buttery crust and a soft, jelly like curd. I’ve become quite the snob about it and barely order them at any bakery, even though they’re one of my favorite treats, because I think these are the best! Every time I bring them to a gathering people ask me for the recipe. Here’s the secret… you’ve probably had it under your roof for ages! Continue reading “Lemon Squares Recipe – Pucker Up!”
As you may have seen on Instagram over the weekend, Valentine’s cupcakes were whipped up and doled out to a couple of special valentines. Megan found a seriously tempting recipe that she thought K and B would like, so we tried it out! Though I’m not usually one to go for a three part cake recipe, Megan likes the challenge. (Seriously, every recipe she wants to try is always so crazy!) But this one was worth the work. Continue reading “Tipsy Valentine – Chocolate Whiskey Cupcakes Recipe”
I love having my girl friends over. They appreciate dessert like it’s their jobs, and since I act like it’s my job to bake all the time, we go pretty well together! Also The Bachelor is back for another season, so we have a reason to see each other weekly again! This called for celebratory sweets when we got together for a viewing party.

Although I had fully intended to put up a post about the preppy, off the shoulder dress I’ve been working on, I didn’t finish it because I was having a BLAST enjoying the to-die-for weather we had in Houston! The cold dark winters really get me down after a while, so my mood exploded into happiness with this bath of sunshine and warmth. Only the weather and a seriously fun bunch of activities with my best friends could compete with wanting to craft and share my fun with y’all!

As I freeze my bum off in Chicago over the Christmas holiday, I find myself consistently cupping a big mug of tea in my little hands trying to warm myself up. And nothing goes with a big mug of coffee, tea, or hot chocolate like a good, old-fashioned biscotti. Crunchy, dunkable, and filled with yummy goodies, it’s hard to say no to a biscotti at tea time. Continue reading “White Chocolate Dipped Cranberry and Pistachio Biscotti Recipe”
Peanut butter cookies are some of my absolute favorite cookies of all time. My mom shared the Betty Crocker recipe with me when I was young, and I fell in love with the crunchy outside and gooey inside that only the perfect combo of Crisco and butter can give. Crisco may seem gross to some, but it’s a miracle worker. Continue reading “Peanut Butter and Cocoa Swirl Cookies Recipe”
