Classic Christmas Sugar Cookies
Christmas is all about traditions. There are foods you eat every year. Light displays you drive through every year. Present-giving-routines you do every year. My family sticks by most of the classics when it comes to holiday baking. We've been making big batches of decorated sugar cookies every year since I was born. This recipe… Continue reading Classic Christmas Sugar Cookies
Crustless Cranberry Pie
I hope everyone had a magical Thanksgiving! Up next, the main event: Christmas. It truly is the most wonderful time of year. I FINALLY got a working oven after waiting upwards of 3 months, so now I'm in full holiday baking mode. I've made a batch of M&M cookies already, but other than that, I've… Continue reading Crustless Cranberry Pie
Copycat Cracker Barrel Fried Apples
This ice storm sure has packed a punch for Oklahoma. I've got limbs down everywhere. A tree fell on my car! Our heater and wood-burning stove has been working overtime the last few days. I'm ready for the rain to stop and the ice to melt so my trees can get back to trying to… Continue reading Copycat Cracker Barrel Fried Apples
Slow Cooker Blueberry Cobbler
Life without an oven sucks. Our oven has been broken for going more than 2 months now. We've been battling our home warranty company for that time to try and either get it fixed or get a new one. We FINALLY had a warranty-approved repair man come out and look at it and he said… Continue reading Slow Cooker Blueberry Cobbler
Peanut Butter Cheerio Bars
Rob and I have become Aldi nerds. We've figured out we can get far more bang for our buck by shopping at Aldi. I've cut back our monthly grocery/food bill from around $400 a month to $200 a month while we finish up buying our house. Aldi plays a huge part in that. There's certain… Continue reading Peanut Butter Cheerio 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. When it seems like the world is ending, all you want to do is reach for the comfort food. That box of macaroni cheese, the tightly wrapped ice cream sandwich, the container… Continue reading Fruit Salsa with Cinnamon Pie Chips
Blueberry Biscuit Bake
There's no better way to start the day than with a big breakfast. I'm a savory breakfast kind of gal. I always order protein and eggs when I'm at a restaurant. 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
Classic Peanut Butter Blossoms
I spent all weekend baking up a storm. It was my last free weekend to do some holiday baking, so I took advantage of it. I had three things planned, and one recipe just kind of fell into my lap. I had some leftover Hershey kisses and a big tub of peanut butter. Classic peanut… Continue reading Classic Peanut Butter Blossoms
Christmas Neapolitan Cookies
When it comes to baking, I tend to stick to the basics. I'm not going to bake a 3-tier cake from scratch. Give me some butter, sugar, and flour and I'll make drop cookies all day long. The easier, the better. These cookies are about as intense as I'll go. I kept seeing people posting… Continue reading Christmas Neapolitan Cookies
