Apple Snickerdoodle Blondies

Everybody who reads this blog knows that my original dish soap worthy recipe, my number two weakness, (next to pie) is my recipe for Snickerdoodle Blondies.  They are my absolute favorite thing.  Like, ever.

World’s Greatest Peanut Butter Cookies

This is one of my very favorite peanut butter cookie recipes.  Simple and sweet.  Nobody stops at just one. They are quick and easy enough to make “just because” and you probably have all the ingredients in your pantry already. My kids and I made a batch of these to send in to my husband’s… Continue reading World’s Greatest Peanut Butter Cookies

I’m baaaaaack, ladies and gentleman!  Off of bedrest and with a beautiful 3 week old baby girl in my arms, and feeling almost 100%.  Baby Phoebe made her entrance the day after my Hawks lost in the most devastating Superbowl ever, on Groundhog Day, making everything better.  We are all in love with her. Here… Continue reading Marbled Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies

Candy Corn Sugar Cookie Bars

Baking disasters. They are the absolute worse.  Almost nothing makes me grouchier. As I see it, there are two kinds of baking disasters: Those of epic proportions (like a cheesecake that cost $30 to make and then doesn’t turn out, a Pyrex bowl full of hot lemon curd actually exploding all over your kitchen, or… Continue reading Candy Corn Sugar Cookie Bars
