Pizza Candy Cane Crescent

This would make a great addition to your holiday table as an appetizer (or lunch or dinner but make 2 if it’s for dinner and more than a couple of people). I couldn’t get if off the parchment paper to get a cute picture so bummer but here it is and it was yummy. 1 … Continue reading

Sheet Pan Pancakes

We’ve started a new tradition at our house of having breakfast for dinner every Sunday night, so far it’s been great. I made this last night for dinner and it was so good! We topped it with syrup, Nutella, more fresh strawberries, and/or homemade whipped cream. My only change would be to not bake the … Continue reading

Cookie Butter Truffles

These were delicious! And so very easy to make. I’ve made them twice since I found this recipe – one batch of Halloween themed truffles and another batch just to experiment with different things to roll them in (see above picture) and they were delicious both times. Highly recommend! 1 1/2 cups pretzel sticks 2/3 … Continue reading

Even just the brownies themselves looked pretty great before all the other deliciousness got added … Continue reading

Ina Garten’s Lemon Bars

As you can probably tell, I’ve been on a lemon bar kick lately but I am out of lemons now so I guess I am done.  These were really good with a thick, gooey middle and a crunchy top that was delightful.  If you’re a lemon bar fan, then you definitely need to try these. … Continue reading

Churro Cake with Chocolate Sauce

I hosted book group last week and made this delicious cake for our treat.  (I started slicing pieces and then remembered that I hadn’t taken a picture yet so that’s why you’re only seeing half the cake.) It was yummy with or without the chocolate sauce. Here you can see that oh so sweet churro … Continue reading
