Aaaaand we’re back! Seven days of traveling with two little kiddos is exhausting. I think Brett and I need a vacation from our vacation. I plan to ignore the piles of laundry on my floor and empty fridge starting at me for as long as possible. Which will be for about twenty minutes. I hate…
Chocolate
Perfect Blender Brownies
Brett was in charge of dessert Sunday night. We were both craving brownies so he gave these Blender Brownies (straight from the Blendtec Fresh Blends Cookbook) a try. We’ve used our blendtec for a lot of things, but never brownies, so I was a little skeptical. But hey, I wasn’t in charge. Turned out these…
Coconut Oil Chocolate Chip Cookies
You guys! It’s been almost three months since I last shared some cookies with you! Eleven weeks to be exact. That’s 77 days! I’m shocked. Not sure how I let this happen. I’m typically a cookie making machine. Maybe it’s been the lack of desire to turn on the oven. Or maybe it’s just…
Grilled Banana S’more Boats
Warm and gooey, grilled bananas stuffed with marshmallows, chocolate, and graham cracker crumbs. A campfire treat brought to your grill. After five years of marriage Brett and I finally have a real grill. We ditched the George Foreman indoor/outdoor grill (plug-in style) that was given to us as a wedding present five years ago. It…
Browned Butter Vanilla Bean Blondies
Okay, is it browned butter or brown butter? I see it used differently all the time and really have no clue which is correct. In my head I think, “well the butter is browned so it should be called browned butter ____ ” ( for whatever it is you’ve made) right? Does it even matter? Whether it’s browned or brown,…
The Very Best Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies
My good friend Claire shared this Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe from Orangette with me months ago and I just got around to making them last week. Actually, Brett made them. I wanted a treat for our road trip to Vegas over the weekend (Happy Mother’s Day to me!!) and after having two cookie…
Biscoff Cookie Butter S’mores
S’more anyone??? I’ve been dreaming about s’mores ever since reading Jaclyn’s post about creative s’more ideas. Then a friend made us s’mores at her house the other day. It’s like I forgot how good they are. And it got me all excited for weenie roasts, sitting around a fire, and making s’mores for dessert. We…
Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate Oreo Chunk Cookies { And a Giveaway!}
Last week Brett and I decided we were going to eat really healthy. Those Skinny Tuna Melts were about as far as I got. {They were delicious!} But I made these cookies over the weekend and you can just imagine my husband’s excitement to have them lying around the house. I think sometimes he thinks I am trying to sabotage…
Browned Butter Oatmeal Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies
The last few days have been a bit of a whirlwind. After church on Sunday I was torn between two things: taking a much needed nap (which I never do) or making some cookies (which I always do). I opted for making cookies. Cookies with some browned butter. I know I’m a little late to…
