Did any of you guys ever watch Semi-Homemade with Sandra Lee when it was on the Food Network? I was weirdly obsessed with Sandra Lee’s show. One, because her recipes were great — I love that semi-homemade approach to cooking. And two, because her tablescapes were always so stunning. But I had to wonder: WHERE did [Read more >>]
Fall is, by far, my favorite season. There’s nothing like cuddling up at night and watching a movie by the fire; drinking piping hot, fresh-pressed apple cider; going pumpkin or apple-picking; the homey scents of cinnamon, nutmeg, apple, and clove; the baking that comes along with those same scents; scarves; boots; chunky-knit sweaters… the list is [Read more >>]
I admit, I’m a little bit of a football fan. I know the rules of the game, I’ll tag along if friends are going to a game, and I’ll cheer when my team is playing… I’ll even wear my team’s colors proudly, as if wearing their colors will somehow will the magic football gods to make [Read more >>]
Have you guys seen the new Caramel Apple Oreos yet? They. Are. Life-Changing. For a caramel-apple lover like myself, I could not stop eating these bad boys! They taste exactly like caramel apples in cookie form… a dangerously delicious invention, if you ask me. Besides pumpkin, nothing says ‘fall’ to me more than caramel apples! Every [Read more >>]
Any other 80′s babies out there?! Was it just me, or were cherries quite popular in the 90′s? Think cherry tattoos, cherry rearview mirror ornaments…you with me? Cherry seat covers. They were right up there with the fuzzy dice. In fact, I saw someone with the cherries dangling from their rearview mirror in their car [Read more >>]
So yes, I’ve been known to hoard candy. And sprinkles. Because you just never know when you’re going to need candy corn to make sunflower cookies, right!? Or jumbo nonpareils for eyeballs. I’m sure some of you understand… Well today I was glad I had not only one color of candy corn, but TWO. (Keep [Read more >>]
When it comes to desserts, I have my staples. One of them being chocolate chip cookies. Probably because not much beats a warm homemade chocolate chip cookie in my book. They’re quick and simple to make, they melt in your mouth and there’s just something sooo comforting about gooey chocolate chips, buttah, and sugar… So [Read more >>]
The minute I saw these Oreo Frogs on Made To Be a Momma’s site, I knew I had to create a version of them! How stinkin’ cute are they? I love the tongue on her frogs, but I wanted to change them up a bit. These would really be great for any occasion – plus, [Read more >>]
These cookies, let me tell you. Perfectly soft and chewy! I’d imagine it’s pretty close to being in heaven after letting your teeth sink into that first warm bite of these thick peanut butter cookies. I’ll admit, peanut butter cookies are not always my favorite. I’m more of a oatmeal chocolate chip kinda gal, BUT [Read more >>]
I’m a fairly picky cookie person. The dough to chip ratio must not exceed my liking. I can’t stand when there are TOO many chocolate chips in a cookie (yes, this is totally possible). Plus, too fluffy of a cookie is not okay (this happened once when I subbed greek yogurt for half of the [Read more >>]
