Homemade Chocolate Glazed Donuts
My kids love donuts. Especially the kind that come in a box from the supermarket. Those things last way longer than they really should which is a bit of a red flag regarding what’s in ’em that makes ’em last that long, don’t ya think? So, being that I like to bake and all, I…
Red Velvet Cookies
Lemme tell ya something. Red velvet cookies make for one helluva fantastic Valentine’s Day treat. First of all, they’re red. ‘Nuff said. Secondly, they’re indulgent and oh so gooey when fresh outta the oven. And, lastly, these red velvet cookies are just a really delicious treat you should share with everyone you love. So there…
Paleo Apple Muffins
Life is all about balance, am I right?! I like to bake up a batch of these super easy Paleo-friendly apple muffins then freeze ’em. That way, when I’m wondering what I’ll have for breakfast while the kids are chowing down on their cereal or donuts (don’t judge me), I can grab one of these,…
Biscoff Blondies
It’s fair to say I have a little bit of an obsession with Biscoff. It’s just so damn good! This cookie butter is the perfect substitute for nut-free households like mine – it’s great in recipes in place of Nutella or peanut butter like these blondies. And, just like both of those spreads, it’s also…

Biscoff White Chocolate Saltine Toffee
This stuff is no joke. We call it Christmas Crack and it’s extremely addictive. I typically make about 6 trays of this Biscoff White Chocolate Saltine Toffee during the month of December, mainly because it’s an easy recipe for a quick treat to give to family and friends. I’m not going to tell you how…
Cranberry Orange Shortbread Cookies
With holiday cookie season in full swing, I’m baking up lots o’ holiday flavor combos over here. Cranberry orange shortbread in the style of Alison Roman with those crispy, sugary edges came outta my oven this week and I gotta tell ya, they are banging. I used Alison’s base shortbread recipe cuz, I mean, c’mon,…
Easy Chocolate Peppermint Cookies
Chocolate and peppermint has got to be one of the best holiday flavor combinations out there. I mean, there are Peppermint Mocha lattes and York Peppermint Patties leftover from Halloween (sorry, kids!) and peppermint hot cocoa at the ready after a day of holiday shopping or playing in the snow (hello, what’s up with the…
My BEST Chocolate Chip Cookies
The elusive best chocolate chip cookie recipe. It’s been searched for high and low, experimented with since the dawn of time (presumably), and many claim to have the best and many do! This is MY best and, turns out, a fave of many family and friends, so I wanted to share it. These cookies are…
