I don't usually make Valentine's treats, but when I do, I go all out. I wanted to make something nice and sweet for my coworkers after a long week of weather coverage last week. It's nice to have a treat every once in a while--and they don't last long around the newsroom. These brownie truffles… Continue reading Valentine’s Brownie Truffles

Herb & Cream Cheese Scramble
I woke up this morning in a tizzy. Where am I? What day is it? And most importantly... Why is it so cold in here?? I must've been dreaming real good to not know I was asleep in my bed like usual. As for what day it is, does anybody truly know anymore? And the… Continue reading Herb & Cream Cheese Scramble
Jalapeno Popper Chicken
Cream cheese is a godsend. I'm constantly impressed with the versatility of it. It's been used in my cheesecakes (duh), lemon bars, icing, casseroles, and stuffed chicken. There's usually a block of the stuff hanging out in the back of my fridge. I use cream cheese so often it's a mainstay on my grocery lists.… Continue reading Jalapeno Popper Chicken
Cranberry Jalapeno Dip

I didn't end up eating an actual meal yesterday. I just ate chips, dips, cheese and some crockpot chicken and dressing my boss made. We're a group that… Continue reading Cranberry Jalapeno Dip

This cookie cake I made for work on Monday is probably the sweetest thing I've… Continue reading Candy Cane Cookie Cake
Cinnamon Roll Cake Balls
It has been a lazy weekend in the Welcher household. Since we had planned on being snowed in on Saturday, we had nothing in the works to get out of the house. Neither the snow nor the ice came but our plans were unwavering: stay on the couch, in our pajamas, for 24 hours or… Continue reading Cinnamon Roll Cake Balls
Christmas Cake Mix Cookies
I'm about to run out of room in my kitchen with all the cookie-baking I've been doing over the last few weeks. I only have one cookie jar, and four or five Christmas containers. I've been taking most of the Christmas cookies to work (which I think my co-workers appreciate), but I still have an… Continue reading Christmas Cake Mix Cookies
Asparagus Poppers
I love jalapeno poppers. Love, love, love them. I know they're not the most healthy things on the planet...but they are sooooo good. The melty, creamy cheese, the crispy bacon, the spicy jalapenos...oh, man; writing this description is making my mouth water. Yesterday, I had all the things I needed to make jalapeno poppers---except jalapenos.… Continue reading Asparagus Poppers
