This is probably THE all-time favorite Christmas candy of anything that my family has ever made. I can only think of one person who doesn’t like these, and that’s my dad. But he doesn’t like peanut butter, so it’s a given he wouldn’t like these. I can’t imagine anyone ever not liking peanut butter because […]
This time of year something just makes me want to eat sweets…doesn’t matter what it is as long as it has LOTS of sugar in it. I can’t resist so why even try? I’ll work it all off after the start of the new year, right? So since I’m in baking overload, I made this […]
It’s cookie season! For me, at least. This time of year I am a baking fool, constantly making lots of goodies to share with all of my friends and family. Actually one of my favorite things each holiday season is our annual candy/cookie making day that my mom, sister, and I always do. We go […]
If you are looking for a great last-minute dessert for Thanksgiving, this is it! Super simple to make and you only need a few ingredients. The first time I mentioned something about this dessert to people that weren’t from around here, they could not believe that “down here” we ate a pie made out of […]
Oh my gaaaahhh! Every single time that I make this dessert (which is usually only at Thanksgiving and Christmas) I am reminded of how absolutely wonderful it is. Words truly can’t describe it…one must just try this to believe me! My dad is probably the biggest bread pudding fan I’ve ever met before, and I’ve made […]
What’s more Thanksgivingy (that’s a word, right?) than Pumpkin Pie? Not much that I can think of. Although when I think back to Thanksgiving when I was growing up I don’t remember ever having it. Then again, that was always the time of year when our family took our yearly vacation. When I was small […]
I hope that you all have a wonderful time this weekend being out and about with all the ghosts and goblins! I’ll be with two princesses and a magician myself, and they are pretty darn cute! This past week we have made many yummy Halloween goodies including cupcakes and shaped, decorated sugar cookies. We are […]
Whenever I make a dessert to take somewhere, I try to make it somewhat appropriate to the season. This dessert was always a traditional dish to be served at our office Christmas parties back in the day when I was still working, before my stay-at-home-mom days. I kind of forgot about this dessert after leaving […]
Does that sound like heaven or what? Peanut butter alone is enough to draw my attention, but add into that chocolate chip and you simply cannot go wrong! Adding the oatmeal just takes it completely over the top. As you’ll soon find out, I’m a huge cookie fan. I could literally live off of chocolate […]
I grew up in a household that ate mainly healthy foods, so a cake in the kitchen was a very rare occassion. Luckily for we three kids, my mom was a pro at making this yummy cake! This cake brings back so many good memories because I remember my mom making it often, especially for […]
