I could begin by telling you a story about our new friends living in the basement, but I’ll spare you. These mice are not a brand new creation, but they are a classic. If you haven’t ever seen these – here they are! If you haven’t ever made these – do so. I promise, people will [Read more >>]
I was thinking about this the other day… Kids typically want to keep all of their treats to themselves. When I was younger, I would have gladly devoured all of my treats, candy, etc. by myself. And then parents come along and suggest sharing and blah, blah, blah… you know the rest of the story. However, as adults, the [Read more >>]
It’s just about time to start posting fall inspired recipes and then umm, that season that follows fall. Yikes. Let’s not talk about that yet. Let’s talk about cherry chips, coconut, chocolate, and all the goodness they can produce. I’m usually not a huge fan of cherry flavored stuff – I know, I’m weird. But if you’ve [Read more >>]
Warning, do not feed these to: small children, your dog, or yourself… if you are wishing to sleep soon. ESPRESSO CAKE BITES ohhh – mee – ohhh – myy I almost didn’t share these. They are rich, chocolatey, and not very “summery”. But who cares? Espresso, chocolate, cake, more chocolate, bite size. Need I say more?! Even if [Read more >>]
I want to start by wishing all the mothers out there a Happy Early Mother’s Day! I recently saw a poll on facebook. It read: What do mother’s want most for Mother’s Day? So, what do Mom’s like receiving most on Mother’s Day? Drumroll please… The leading response was, “Anything their kids make them”. Awesome. They better [Read more >>]

Our favorite recipe has consisted of these ingredients: -8 ft. of snow -cold, very cold temperatures -icy roads -slushy parking lots Sometimes I wonder how we get through it. But somehow we do, year and year again… but then I remembered, it’s the little things. The little things in life [Read more >>]
This weekend I baked. I baked more than I have ever baked on a single day in my twenty-something years of existence. I’m pretty sure we made over 250 cookies and treats between Jessica and I – ohh, and our little helper Jersey, who you will meet soon. We made these Ginger Spice [Read more >>]
Saturday morning – when it really started to hit. Snownami 2010 in Minne. I stayed in bed as long as possible – I knew when I looked out the window, one of two things was going to be true.
Have you ever been to a cookie exchange? This was my first one…and it was great. We each made cookies and then swapped. Lots of cookies… And I wondered why I couldn’t find a parking spot at the gym the other night… it’s like everyone is already feeling guilty for all the goodies consumed! I had [Read more >>]
I’m really into this no-bake cheesecake type thing. For several reasons: 1 – life is busy 2- this recipe is fast 3- it’s delicious 4- it can be any flavor combination you want simply by changing the flavor of pudding and/or candiquik (vanilla or chocolate based) 5- it’s scrumptious 6-anyone who indulges in it, [Read more >>]
