Mini M&M Cookies
Posted on August 31, 2015
Mini cookies loaded with M&Ms. These are the perfect party cookie! Now that I’m thinking about a special someone’s first birthday, I’m fully focused on what his first sweet treat should be and what kinds of sweets we will have at his party.

Mega M&M Cookies
Posted on April 7, 2015
Big chocolatey cookies full of Mega M&Ms. I’m very aware that I eat my feelings. Tired, sad and stressed always lead me to chocolate, carbs, ice cream, cookies or all of the above. I try not to go overboard and realize that this isn’t the healthiest way to deal with emotions. But frankly, I don’t…

Sweet and Salty Candy Bar Blondies

The fudgiest blondies loaded with everyone's favorite sweet and salty candies. When I asked my Father-in-Law what he wanted for his birthday dessert, his only request was chocolate covered pretzels. Sweet and salty, who doesn’t love those? But come on, it is a birthday dessert! And since chocolate covered pretzels are what I make as…
Magic Cake Bars for Easter
Posted on April 5, 2012
For the record, Matt wanted me to take a picture of my hand over the cake and pretend it was the hand of our little niece or nephew helping in the kitchen. 1) We don’t have any nieces or nephews 2) No one wants to see my hands after twelve hour days in the kitchen…
M&M Cookie Dough Cups
Posted on March 20, 2012
Some things are too delicious not to share. These M&M Cookie Dough Cups had the potential to be perfectly done and pretty, but my impatience got the best of me and most of the cups ended up jagged and a little funny looking. Luckily they tasted so good I forgot how funky looking they were…
