We had a Christmas party here with some of our good friends on Saturday night. As I was trying to think of a festive cookie to make for the party, I remembered my sister-in-law Christy’s, Cran- Pistachio Cookies she made last year. I never got around to trying them but I remembered they had pistachio…

No Bake Gingersnap Snowballs
These little Gingersnap Snowballs are a quick and easy treat to make up for your friends and neighbors or bring to a Holiday party this Christmas Season. We are talking four ingredients kind of easy. Gingersnap cookies, peanut butter, honey, and powdered sugar. I saw these in a little…
Banana Cream Eclair Pie
Thanksgiving wouldn’t quite be complete without a banana cream pie. My grandma made one every year and I’m pretty sure I was the only person to ever eat it. But by the end of the day that pie was dang near gone. So I guess that’s why she continued to make one, year after year….
Pumpkin Cheesecake Cookies with a Maple Cream Cheese Glaze
On Sunday evening we got locked out of our house. Like so locked out we had to call a locksmith. After laying around most of the afternoon, we decided to get off our tushes and go for a little stroll. We bundled up (it was a chilly one) and headed out the door. I…
Pumpkin Lust Cake
You guys. This pumpkin lust cake is like the new pumpkin pie. At least it will be at our Thanksgiving dinner this year. It is so so good! I sent it to work with Brett on Monday for his company Halloween party. But I had to cut a teeny tiny square out of the corner…
Chewy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
I’m always on the hunt for a thick and hearty Oatmeal cookie recipe. I never thought I would make a thin, flat, and chewy Oatmeal cookie on purpose…I try to avoid those ones. It’s just not how I like my cookies. I like them thick and soft, full of texture and flavor. …
Pink Ribbon Oreos
My mom’s sister lost her life to cancer several years ago. What started out as breast cancer, went undetected, and spread to her lung, then brain, and then her spine. They caught the lung cancer in time to treat it, but as soon as she completed treatment they found the cancer spots on her brain…
Halloween Spider Web Snacks
Lately Owen’s favorite song is The Incy Wincy Spider. He loves to make his little fingers crawl up the water spout like a spider. It is sooo cute. And I guess it’s fitting to sing a song about spiders around Halloween. I don’t think he’s ever even seen a real spider, but he…
Pumpkin-Oreo Cheesecake Bars
Pumpkin. Oreos. Cheesecake. The three are kinda made for each other. Don’t ya think? It rained this week, and then it snowed (SNOW! Really?) And then it rained some more. It was dark and gloomy and cold for three days straight. I think I wore the same pair of sweats three days in…
Caramel Apple Stacks
These caramel apple stacks are a fun twist on the classic fall favorite- caramel apples. Sliced apples are stacked on top of each other, each with a layer of thick caramel cream cheese (it’s really just a caramel apple dip) spread in between. Of course they need a generous drizzle of caramel sauce and…
