Apple Snickerdoodle Cobbler

Shame on me. I should know myself better by now than to make something titled “Apple Snickerdoodle Cobbler” when I am 5 months pregnant and eating everything in sight. Seriously. It’s like I want to gain 65 lbs. My brother’s lovely girlfriend Lexie sent me the pin on pinterest, knowing that I would want it… Continue reading Apple Snickerdoodle Cobbler

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

World’s Greatest Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies

I was sold on this cookie recipe as soon as I saw the name of the blog recommending it: Butter with a Side of Bread.  Sounds right up my alley, right? Boom.  These were good.  You could taste every ingredient.  The butter. The sugar.  The salt.  The peanut butter. They were pretty much perfect. My… Continue reading World’s Greatest Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies

This applesauce streusel bread is one of those love at first bite kind of breads.  It is packed full of the flavors of fall- cinnamon, apples, pumpkin… Continue reading Spiced Applesauce Streusel Bread

Good ‘ol Fashioned Apple Brownies

Can we really call these brownies? I suppose they could be called blondies instead.  There was a lot of quibbling over the title in the reviews I read for this recipe.  Semantics, really.  These perfect apple cinnamon-y bars are definitely delicious, and you know that’s all I care about. Honestly, it’s a dangerous recipe for… Continue reading Good ‘ol Fashioned Apple Brownies

Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread and Baby #3

It’s been a long, long time.  Sorry folks.  I have a good excuse for my complete and total lack of blogging lately. I have been in the throes of severe morning (all day) sickness, and I am just now reaching the light at the end of the tunnel.   We’re talking all day nausea, barfing, hospital and… Continue reading Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread and Baby #3

Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers

I have to tell you- bacon wrapped anything is not really my thing.  It’s not that I have anything against bacon- I like it as a breakfast meat.  I enjoy it wrapped around asparagus.  I do not like it on burgers, sandwiches, etc.  I think it’s something about the meat-on-meat.  I find it unnecessary. Now,… Continue reading Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers
