If you're in a post-Easter slump, have no fear! Spring is here and the spring treats can continue well past the holiday.I made these "blondies" over the weekend and luckily still have a few leftover. This is a small-batch of blondies, so don't make them if you want to take to a party or a… Continue reading Spring Blondies

Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Crackers
It's the holiday baking, candy-making and treat-giving season! I've been busy this weekend whipping up a bunch of Christmas treats (and Chex Mix) for family and friends. I can't take the treats to work like usually do every year since I'm work from home, but I'm still able to give some out to people. As… Continue reading Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Crackers
Loaded M&M Chocolate Chip Cookies
We're only a few days away from Thanksgiving and you know what that means: the holiday baking season is officially here. Let's eat all the pies, quick breads, cookies and candies our little hearts desire. I'm ready to put my brand new oven to good use. I bought a giant-sized bag of flour the other… Continue reading Loaded M&M Chocolate Chip Cookies
Crockpot Christmas Candy
There are certain recipes that you attribute to people in your life. My coworkers and I are known for specific things that we always bring to parties because they're so beloved. Emily's corn dip is the best I've ever had. I can eat a dozen of Halee's ham pinwheels and not feel guilty about it.… Continue reading Crockpot Christmas Candy
Pumpkin Spice Chex Mix
Halloween is still three days away, but the city Rob & I live in had their citywide Trick or Treating yesterday. Ghosts and goblins and princesses came to our door while we were carving pumpkins and celebrating this spooky time of year. We also went to go see the new Halloween movie yesterday. I was… Continue reading Pumpkin Spice Chex Mix
St. Nick Snack Mix
I cannot believe that Christmas is only 5 days away! It feels like just yesterday it was Thanksgiving. Heck, just yesterday was Halloween, right?? I've already got the turkey breast defrosting in the fridge since we are having our Christmas dinner on Friday. On Sunday, it's all about the Christmas breakfast casserole in the morning while opening our presents. Then,… Continue reading St. Nick Snack Mix
Chicken Stroganoff
After weeks of fruitless searching, many manic Walmart frenzies, and and almost uncontrollable urge to order from Hershey directly, I found my most beloved Christmas candy: Hershey's Peppermint Bark Bells. I've been obsessed with these little morsels of heaven ever since my friend Christine introduced them to me two years ago. They're usually easy to… Continue reading Chicken Stroganoff
Pumpkin Seed Brittle
It's been a looooong week. I've had a ton of special shoots, edited a trillion stories for air on our multiple shows, and then just wrapped up working a 14+ hour day for the OU vs. Ohio State game. In case you missed it, OU lost. Badly. But that's okay with me---I always root against… Continue reading Pumpkin Seed Brittle
Cake Batter Puppy Chow
I've been pretty lucky with nailing new cooking techniques on the first try. That is, until yesterday. No matter how hard I tried---I could not melt white chocolate. I started with 8 oz. white chocolate morsels directly in a pan with my flavoring add-ins (butter, almond extract and butter extract). Boy, was that a mistake. I felt… Continue reading Cake Batter Puppy Chow
