  • Lemon Meringue Pie

    With no family get together at Easter this year, because of the stay at home order, I wasn’t spoiled with my typical lemon meringue pie made by Grandma. So, I ventured out and made my own and I’m happy to report it went quite well! I may have done a take two with the meringue,…

  • Blueberry Lemon Crumble Bars

    I saw a meme today that said ‘Congratulations, you’ve made it to April. Welcome to level 4 of Jumanji!’ And isn’t that just life right now? The funny memes are a necessity to stay grounded, lighthearted and laugh a little; I for one am very appreciative of the people creating and sharing these! And then…

  • Gingersnap Cookies

    What’s your favorite Christmas cookie? Do you have one? Or even better than that, what’s your favorite Christmas memory or tradition? My favorite tradition is our family’s annual cookie baking day that’s always the week after Thanksgiving at my Grandma’s house. It’s also where I have a lot of really fond Christmas memories. We started…

  • Pumpkin Drop Cookies with Maple Buttercream Icing

    Pumpkin drop cookies round two… See, the first time I baked these delicious cookies I nearly made mini pies instead by tossing in the entire can of pumpkin puree. Have you ever come across a cookie recipe that calls for an entire can of pumpkin? Me either. Sometimes I do things without really thinking them…

  • Zucchini Bread

  • Rhubarb Pie

    Are you a pie person or a cake person? If you said neither, I hope it’s because you’re an ice cream person. For me, it’s been pie for as long as I can remember. To this day, I haven’t met someone who can bake better pies than my Grandma. She taught me how to bake…

  • Dad’s Chocolate Chip Cookies

    Here’s the thing…my Dad didn’t actually create this recipe, but I couldn’t title this post anything else because we’ve (my brother and I) referred to these chocolate chip cookies as ‘Dad’s’ for just about as long as I can remember. This is actually the true original nestle chocolate chip recipe. Not the one from the…

    It’s already mid February and the next fun holiday is quickly approaching…President’s day is on Monday! Oh wait….yep, I meant Valentine’s day which is this Thursday 🙂 Speaking of President’s day though, all you bankers and state employees enjoy that holiday off work! It’s a good thing I really like

  • Peppermint Oreo Truffles

    I can’t believe Christmas is in two days. I’m pretty sure we’re all having the same conversation as we do our last minute shopping, wrapping and baking. I finished the shopping and wrapping today so that means I’m planning to spend the next two days
