Mother’s Day is just around the corner, so today I have a recipe and giveaway for you that is all about mom! My mom is the “cookie lady.” I used to say that she is known for her Christmas cookies, but that makes it sound like she only bakes cookies in December. Her freezer ALWAYS […]

Listen y’all… I have a confession to make. I’ve never made homemade granola before. I feel like that is a good blogger sin. I mean, granola is SO EASY to make at home. And I truly do love it as a quick snack or even breakfast cereal replacement. But I’ve always just picked up a […]
Over the past few weeks (okay, let’s be honest… months) you may have noticed that our blog was quieter than normal. Behind the scenes, we were getting ready for our big change! Back when we started our blog back in 2012, our goal was to test recipes that got popular on Pinterest to see if […]

I have a problem… I live alone, but LOVE to bake and do so often. I’m always looking to share treats with friends and family so I don’t eat them all myself. My coworkers love when I feel like baking because I usually end up bringing in treats for them to enjoy! Many of them […]
Country superstar Martina McBride has brand new cookbook called Martina’s Kitchen Mix: My Recipe Playlist for Real Life. Usually I don’t do cookbook reviews here on the blog, but this one is a bit nostalgic for me! I was born in 1985, which means that I really grew up in the 90s. We listened to […]

Whoopie pies always make me think of home and family. We’ve been making them for years, but whoopie pies seemed to have really grow in popularity over the last few years. They were a special treat growing up, mostly because they require a few more steps than a normal cake or cookie dessert. But also […]

When you use as many eggs as we do, quality matters. Eggs are one of my “splurge” items at the grocery store, with free-range options being my top pick. They just taste so much better! Have you ever tried free-range eggs? The yolks are typically a darker yellow color, and the whites as not as […]
I love mousse. I love ice cream. So recently, I thought that the two could combine to create a creamy, airy frozen dessert perfect for #Choctoberfest. I began to experiment with recipes… and then… Enter Forte Chocolates… As one of our awesome sponsors for #Choctoberfest 2018, Forte Chocolates sent me some delicious chocolate flavors to […]
I think this recipe is the most chocolatey recipe of all time! It has chocolate pudding mix, hot cocoa mix, cocoa powder, white chocolate chips, and milk chocolate chips. Chocolate to the max!!! So, I knew I had to try it for #Choctoberfest this year. To make this cookie even better, it uses brown sugar […]
Summer weather seemed to drag on forever this year, but it is finally fall. That took forever, didn’t it? I don’t know about you, but was over the super hot and humid days, so I’m glad we’re now in the 50s and 60s. (Though I will say… it can stay in this temperature range. I […]

It’s National Cupcake Day, after all! I knew I wanted to do something with a mermaid theme that is more […]
