Homemade Garlic and Cheddar Bagels

I’m not going to lie to you.  These homemade bagels are a process.  There is yeast involved.  Rising, waiting, kneading, boiling, brushing, baking.  With all that said, they are still worth it.  Why? Because there is nothing, NOTHING like a fresh bagel warm out of the oven, especially if there is cheese involved. I made… Continue reading Homemade Garlic and Cheddar Bagels

Chewy Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

Of all the cookbooks I have in life, I love this one the most. My old, worn down allrecipes cookie collection.  It’s like fifty cents used on Amazon, and it is AMAZING.  It is full of some of my very favorite cookie recipes of all time.  Any time I feel like making cookies, I just… Continue reading Chewy Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

Blueberry Banana Bread

I really love banana bread.  I constantly find myself with overripe bananas and it is kind of the staple thing that I just whip up really quick when I do.  My kids love it, which is nice, I can’t stay away from it, which is bad (for my thighs) and it’s just a really delicious… Continue reading Blueberry Banana Bread

And the cookie I always wanted when I was a kid was the sugar cookie with M&M’s stuck… Continue reading Shopping Mall M&M Sugar Cookies

Cinnamon Roll Pie

Oh my golly gee goodness, I have officially died and gone to heaven.  My two favorite things have finally combined and become one: Cinnamon and pie. I mean, yes, this is basically a gigantic cinnamon roll baked in a pie dish, but I refuse to quibble.  It is definitely a pie.  A gooey, cinnamon-y, cream… Continue reading Cinnamon Roll Pie

Good Ol’ Fashioned Homemade Apple Pie

The three things I am most proud of when it comes to my husband are turning him into a Seahawks fan, a Democrat, and a person who likes pie. He will deny that I have turned him into a Democrat, but I totally have.  Mostly anyway. Anyway, he didn’t used to really care for pie,… Continue reading Good Ol’ Fashioned Homemade Apple Pie
