I hosted Book Group at my house last night. We read the book “When You Reach Me” by Rebecca Stead which I really liked. I decided to do a little charcuterie board with some of the food mentioned in the book for our treat. (More on that tomorrow.) Cheerios were mentioned so I gave this … Continue reading

Here’s another pretty quick and easy Halloween treat that you can throw together if needed. I gave them all away and forgot to taste them so hopefully they were good. 6 tablespoons butter, softened 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter 1/4 cup marshmallow cream 1/2 teaspoon vanilla pinch of salt 2 cups powdered sugar 1 bag … Continue reading
These were very easy to make especially if you have a food processor. They’re good but not very sweet which I know some people would prefer. But if you like this combo, then these are for you. BARS 1 cup butter, melted 2 cups graham cracker, animal crackers, or vanilla wafer crumbs 2 cups powdered … Continue reading
This one was definitely a winner and will go in the yearly zucchini rotation. I’m going to give it a try with Nutella instead of peanut butter for my daughter so I’ll let you know how that goes. 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter 1/4 cup butter, softened 1 cup packed brown sugar 1 1/2 cups … Continue reading

They are really an insanely delicious brownie which I am now dreaming about. I want to make them again with toffee and chocolate chips in them instead of the peanut butter cups and, of … Continue reading
I made these for my neighbor Micah for his birthday who is off sugar (is that even possible?). I tried one and they were pretty good, for around 100 calories each. 1 cup oats 1 cup almonds, finely chopped 1/4 cup cocoa powder 1/4 cup flax seed, ground (I used chia seeds, I didn’t have … Continue reading
Because the doggos need treetos too! Although if you wanted to, you could eat these too. The dogs, by the way, and by dogs I mean my corgi Finn and my daughter’s labs, Ziggy and Simba, all loved these treats. 32 oz low fat plain yogurt 2 mashed bananas 1/2 cup peanut butter (without xylitol) … Continue reading
These were yummy however they were a little dense and not very sweet so next time I think I will add a bit more milk to loosen up some of the denseness and also maybe add a little more sugar to sweeten them up. I topped some with peanut butter chips . . . and … Continue reading
My daughter’s labs turned 4 on Christmas Day so we celebrated their birthday on the day after Christmas with this little beauty. I have to say that it smelled pretty good while baking and I don’t even like pumpkin. The boys gobbled it down so I’d say it was a success. CAKE 1 1/2 cup … Continue reading
