I’ve officially done it. Succesfully. French macarons, people. I have to admit, I was a little frightened that I would screw up something when making macarons for the first time. And I’m not talking about the coconut confection that you may be thinking of. After I read a few tutorials online it seemed like there [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 >>]
Cinnamon infused candy coating…a must try! I took these simple nut clusters to the next level by adding cinnamon and craisins to the mix. They turned out amazing. There’s not much of a recipe here, just a few simple ingredients thrown together resulting in a slightly addicting treat. If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve [Read more >>]
It’s been a while since I’ve made these…and then I realized, even though you may have seen them before, I’ve never blogged about them. Plus, I’ve made a couple changes to the originals. It all started when I found (orange!) candy-coated sunflower seeds at Tj-Maxx/HomeGoods. Immediately I thought – noses, as carrots for snowmen! Just [Read more >>]
Let’s talk fudge…and Biscoff. Please tell me you’ve had Biscoff, at least the cookies? Those delicious little cookies that Delta hands out… Well, they make a spread. I don’t even know how to explain it, besides that it is this sweet, creamy spread that tastes just like the cookies. Apparently it is a European alternative to peanut [Read more >>]
Sometimes I have a hard time focusing on one thing for a long period of time. I’ll be writing a blog post and go to check who commented on my last status update, then I remember an email I need to respond to, then I just need to check the weather… you know how it [Read more >>]
I really hope you have all of your holiday shopping done. Because I just went to Target. It felt like my Black Friday (that I somehow was convinced to participate in) nightmare all over again. Never again. Maybe it’s that I get overwhelmed with swarms of people, feel claustrophobic when waiting in line and can’t [Read more >>]
I love this Ginger Cookie Truffle recipe for several reasons. 1. I have about 9 billion things to do before the holidays and this was the easiest yet. 2. No baking required (I’ve done enough of that!) 3. Easy on the wallet 4. Scrumptious Ginger Cookie Truffles Print Prep time 1 hour Total time 1 [Read more >>]
I am begging you to make these Cranberry Orange Bliss Bars. You’re simply missing out if you don’t. These were heavenly. Decadent. Outstanding. I stumbled across them on Recipe Girl’s blog… They are basically a blondie bar topped with an amazing white chocolate cream cheese (with a hint of orange zest) frosting. You know the Bliss Bars [Read more >>]
This tree has to be one of the most elegant and awesome desserts I’ve ever made! I won’t lead you on, it was a bit time consuming. I would highly suggest breaking it up into a 2-3 day project. Make your cake pop mixture on day 1. Coat and decorate your cake pops the following day and [Read more >>]
