Kara came to town! Yay! If you all are wondering, Kara is my sister and she’s super cool (sometimes). She has quite the sweet tooth so I had to whip her up something extra special yesterday for her arrival. We celebrated with roasted chicken and carrots, but the dessert was the best part. So great …
I decided to take a leap of faith here and try something new. No I’ve never made dog cookies before, but I had to. Just had to. Poor little Cilantro sits there and watches me every day as I make the daily cookie, and his cute little face just looked so sad. I knew he …
I really wanted to make something with marshmallow this year (even though Zach doesn’t like it – I know he doesn’t like anything!), and my time is running out. With only 3 Days left of 20 Days of Christmas Cookies, I had to come up with something before it was too late! Fudge doesn’t count. …

I really wanted to make a cookie this year with all of my favorite ingredients rolled into one. I also wanted to make a cookie that used almond flour. So what happens when these two ideas come together?! You get Hazelnut and Orange Snowflake Cookies. I know it may sound confusing, so let me break …
Let us be honest. Fudge can be tricky. If you are making what I like to call “real fudge,” you would never ever think to use marshmallow creme, but I am here to tell you that it’s NOT WORTH IT! Use the marshmallow creme! I beg you! If you don’t, trust me, you will get …
Caramel…Butter…Bars…What is not to love about that name for a recipe? I haven’t really taken a stab at caramel this year yet (for Christmas cookies that is). That’s because I have little to no luck with the stuff. I could go on and on about my experiences: about how the last time I tried to …
