Nostalgia is king right now. I think people hit a certain point in this self-isolation that makes them yearn for the way things were...even yearning for the way things were 10-20 years ago. I've been going through old pictures and notes from my friends. I've been rewatching Gilmore Girls for the 100th time. I'm even… Continue reading Katharine Hepburn’s Brownies

Marbled Carrot Cake Cheesecake Bars
I'm a little late to the spring party, and I think Oklahoma is, too. It's been 30-40 degrees the past few nights. I haven't managed to venture outside in 2-3 days since my allergies have been going haywire. I'm missing the little blossoms on the trees, the weeds that are in bloom, and the cheery… Continue reading Marbled Carrot Cake Cheesecake Bars
Fruit Salsa with Cinnamon Pie Chips
I'm not going to lie. I haven't been eating the most healthy things while on lockdown. I'm not sure any of us have.

Right now we are in 'waste not, want not'… Continue reading Banana Pineapple Bread

Sometimes, if I'm feeling frisky, I'll order a stack of pancakes...and then only eat half of one. I've never been big on eating a… Continue reading Blueberry Biscuit Bake
Surprise Meringue Kisses
Merry Christmas Eve Eve! I can't believe it's already December 23rd. I remember putting up my tree on November 1st and that feels like just yesterday. I'm sad to see the Christmas season come and go once again, but I'm excited to have my own Christmas here at my place. My parents are in town… Continue reading Surprise Meringue Kisses
Rice Krispie Cookies
What do you get when you mix oatmeal, chocolate chips, coconut and Rice Krispies together? A mega-awesome cookie, that's what. Maybe I should actually call this "kitchen sink cookies" since there's so many random ingredients inside. This recipe hails from the same Atchison, Kansas Methodist cookbook that I used for my peanut butter blossoms. I… Continue reading Rice Krispie Cookies
