I first tried snicker doodle cake at a good friend’s baby shower just a couple of weeks ago. It was a layer cake- and in between each layer, and slathered all over the top and sides, was the most amazing brown sugar cinnamon buttercream. I had that cake on my mind for…

Easiest Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bars Ever
I’m on the road today. We’re heading to Aspen, Colorado for the weekend to attend a wedding. I’ve never actually been to Aspen so I’m a teensy bit excited to spend some time there….and maybe see a celebrity or two vacationing there as well. Hopefully, I’ve got my nose in the book The Help because…
Gooey Vanilla Bean Popcorn
You can probably guess what I love most about the two new seasons upon us {fall and football of course.} The food. Fall is my favorite time of year for baking. I tend to go a little pumpkin crazy. And football season, well it just gives me an excuse to get together with friends, make…
Chocolate Chip Cookie Stuffed Crescent Rolls
One of the recent food trends seems to be stuffing cookies or cookie dough inside of things. I was at the store the other day quickly grabbing a few things I needed for dinner. One of those things being crescent rolls. As I tossed them in my cart and started to walk away, I glanced…
Sinfully Rich Brownies (shhh…from a box mix)
I have no problems using box mixes. There, I said it. They are my go to when I need a quick dessert. Or when my intended dessert fails miserably and I need something FAST! Like recently, when I spent two hours making cookies that sadly only made it to the garbage can. All two dozen…
Whole Wheat Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Pancakes
These pancakes taste like oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. I think I’ve said it before, but I’m not so much of a breakfast person. Unless of course, my breakfast tastes like oatmeal chocolate chip cookies (they happen to be a favorite). Then I’ll take a stack of four please…..with some milk. And…
Two for One: Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread and Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Zucchini Cookies
With that other big, giant zucchini I snagged from our neighborhood crop drop, I made some zucchini cookies as well as some delicious zucchini bread. And I’m sharing both recipes today! You’ll be happy to know both are on the healthier side. This Low-Fat Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread is from Skinny Taste (love this…
Cookies and Cream Popcorn
This popcorn was intended for my husband’s mom and sister. They watched Owen for Brett and I last Saturday while we attended our good friends’ wedding. Brett was a groomsmen so it was an all-day affair for us. We spent the entire day kid free, which was so nice considering it happened to be Brett’s…
Taffy Cookie Truffles
Several years ago, my friend Kellie introduced me to Oreo Truffles. She made them for my brother and sister-in-law’s wedding reception. We are talking about lots and lots of Oreo Truffles. When she shared the recipe with me I couldn’t believe how something so easy could taste so good. I mean, those things are dangerous. …
White Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel Graham Cracker Squares
I sat and thought about what to call these for at least an hour. Graham Crackers on Crack…. Loaded Graham Cracker Squares…. White Chocolate Peanut Butter Grahams… Candy Graham Bars…. Even Brett chimed in…. “Dang-You-Woman-Why’d-You-Have-to-Make-These-Crazy-Good-Cracker-Things!”After which he said, “I could eat a thousand of them.” In the end, I just decided to go with White…
