I just thought I would do a quick little post to show you the just-for-fun Halloween sugar cookies I made last week. After completing an order of 4 dozen cookies, I had a bunch of icing and some circle cookies left over. For the first time in a long time, I made cookies for no…

A Healthy St. Patrick’s Day Dinner: Asian Green Veggie Cakes with Spicy Mayo Dipping Sauce
My husband and I are pretty different personalities in the kitchen. I often cling to a recipe for dear life, never straying. He almost never uses a recipe. I have always admired the way he takes whole spices and grinds them himself to make curry, never peeking at a recipe. Its different every time,…
Valentine’s Day Sugar Cookies: Lace Hearts and Love Letters
I actually made these cookies quite awhile ago, but I have been waiting to post them because I think they are so perfect for Valentine’s Day. I actually made them for a book club that I attended. We read the book Daddy Long Legs by Jean Webster. It was written in 1912 and it was…
Christmas Break Recap: Amazing Chocolate Cake and Snowman Sugar Cookies
For the past three weeks I have been visiting home. I grew up in a winter wonderland: Welcome to the new year! If you are like me, you are probably thinking back on all the treats you ate during the holidays and thinking of ways to eat better this year. I usually eat pretty healthy…
Hot Cocoa Cream Puffs
When I was little I was big on all things fancy. When my parents were building my childhood home, I really really wanted my room to have a fancy chandelier and a canopy bed. They had a little more common sense and went with a light with little roses engraved in the glass, which I…
Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookies
These Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookies remind me of Christmas cookie exchanges. One of the best parts of the Christmas season as a kid was getting treats from all the neighbors. The doorbell would ring and my siblings and I would scream and run to the door excited to see what treats would await us. We…
Thanksgiving Round Up
Isn’t Thanksgiving the best? Its just so cozy. There is nothing better than sitting around in a warm home with friends or family and eating good food. And the next day, eating pumpkin pie for breakfast. Love it. This year, I am not really sure what I am doing for Thanksgiving. I might invite some…
Pumpkin Muffins with Toasted Pecan Streusel
I am totally obsessed with the new show called Master Chef Junior. I just can’t get enough of it. I love cooking competition shows, but I usually can’t handle Gordon Ramsey because he is so loud and mean. However, he turns into a marshmallow when hosting a show where the stars are ages 8-13….
Easy Mummy Sugar Cookies
While I was visiting my family in Idaho this month I was able to get some undivided sugar cookie time. How nice it was to have a mother and a mother in-law who want to spend time spoiling my little girl while I make cookies! I them already. Being away from home while making these…
Ice Cream Sugar Cookies and an Ice Cream Birthday Party
So I was working on a really healthy veggie soup post and I just kept thinking about these cookies. I made them over a month ago and I have been dying to share them with you. I wanted to wait until July though, because it is National Ice Cream month!!! Here is what good old…
