Does Santa bring you a Christmas orange every year? Who are the lucky ones that get their stalking stuffed with a chocolate Christmas orange? You know, the orange-flavored chocolate that’s in the shape of an orange and sliced into orange segments? Literally a chocolate orange. Those are my favorite. And these cookies taste…
Jalapeño Popper Chicken Chili
I’ve had this Jalapeño Popper Chicken Chili on my list to make for several weeks now, just waiting for the perfect opportunity to try it. I saw it over at Cinnamon Spice & Everything Nice and new I needed to try it…mostly for my husband’s sake. I just adapted it every so slightly, according to what…
Cinnamon Rock Candy
Around Christmas time I become a little bit cinnamon obsessed. I want cinnamon flavored and cinnamon scented everything. Cinnamon rolls, chocolate cover cinnamon bears, cinnamon candles, cinnamon scented pine cones. And homemade cinnamon candy. My mom used to make giant cinnamon suckers and this Cinnamon Rock Candy around the holidays, so making this…
Chocolate-Pecan Whip Cream Truffles
The other day I was thumbing through a recipe box my sister-in-law gave me when I married into the Denney family. It’s a box of some of the Denney family favorites in it and boy, it’s a gold mine! I found this recipe and remembered my mother-in-law making them for us around Christmas last year….
Peppermint Chocolate Marshmallow Cookies
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving, enjoyed time with family, and ate lots and lots of stuffing and pie…that’s what I filled up on. And continued to eat pie all weekend long:) But heck, I’m ready for more sweets, aren’t you? Now that Thanksgiving is over it’s time for some Christmas goodies and…
Coconut Cream Pie Bars
I always go for the cream pies on Thanksgiving. I grew up with my Grandma making all sorts of cream pies so I’d take a slice of each and wouldn’t even touch the pumpkin pie. As much as I love pumpkin, it’s just not my favorite pie. Coconut Cream Pie isn’t typically my favorite cream…

Slow Cooker Sausage, Apple & Sage Stuffing
I have a fear of cooking Thanksgiving dinner. I can handle a few sides and a dessert, but doing it all? Plus the turkey? I’m out. When the day comes that I’m forced to do it all on my own I might just have a heart attack. Making sure everything comes together perfectly, timing everything…

Cinnamon Chip Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies
I’m not really a plan-ahead blogger- I never have my posts scheduled out weeks in advance. I just kind of wing-it, go with my mood and what I’ve been making that week. What you see is what has most recently been baked-up, cooked-up, and eaten-up here at our house:) But lately I’ve been making…
