I love trying new variation on old favorites! Growing up, my mother use to make cookie cups with a peanut butter cookie dough and a miniature peanut butter cup. My sister and I always wanted to help our mom in the kitchen when she was baking cookies. I know I always enjoying getting to stick […]
Do not adjust your screen color… those Hershey kisses really are orange. They are the “caramel pretzel” variety. I just happened to find the caramel pretzel kisses at a local grocery store and thought they would be a wonderful addition to the chocolate cookie for this year’s #Choctoberfest! Because these kisses are caramel instead of […]
If you know us Boyer women, you know love our cookie recipes! Our Rolled Sugar Cookies is a recipe I grew up eagerly awaiting to help my mother make every year at Christmas time.

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 […]

We love #FoodBloggerLove, because it is a day to show appreciation to other food bloggers that we really enjoy. We are so lucky to have these lovely ladies in our lives! In some industries, bloggers are really […]
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 […]
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 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 […]
I’m a huge fan of Litte Debbie Oatmeal Pies. But let’s be honest… everything is better with chocolate! So, this year for #Choctoberfest, I knew I wanted to make a chocolate version of oatmeal cookies, filled with a buttery, creamy, sweet frosting center. Oh, by the way… it’s #Choctoberfest starting today! What’s #Choctoberfest, you might […]
My mom makes the BEST chocolate peanut butter cake. The cake itself is chocolate, but then she tops it with peanut butter icing…. omg, SO GOOD y’all. And I’m not usually a big cake person. When Better Body Foods sent me some PBfit powdered peanut butter to try, I immediately thought about that cake. I […]
Back at Christmas Allison gave me a HUGE recipe book with over 400 recipes for cookies, brownies, biscuits, and other desserts. I’ve been paging through it marking recipes to test and experiment with for a while now. With Valentine’s Day coming it, I thought that this would be the perfect time to test one I […]
I’m having a bit of a love affair with cocoa lately… Back in October, Rodelle was a blog sponsor here on The PinterTest Kitchen for #Choctoberfest, and they sent us some high-quality Dutch processed baking cocoa to test out. Oh mama, was that stuff good! This post is not sponsored by Rodelle in any way… […]
I love the flavors of chocolate and orange together, especially around the holidays. It always makes me think of Terry’s chocolate oranges (YUM). I always thought chocolate and orange was a weird combination, but my dad liked the chocolate oranges. One time, I tried a slice and OH MAMA I was hooked ever since! I […]
I love this time of year. When I was a kid, I can remember being SO excited about Christmas break. I was a pretty nerdy kid and liked learning, so it wasn’t necessarily that I didn’t want to go to school. I just was always super excited for Christmas. I love seeing people’s faces when […]
