Rum and Eggnog Spiced Cookies #MerryChristmas!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!! Though I don’t celebrate the holiday, it’s still one of my favorites. I love the Christmas spirit that everyone gets into. The music, the lights, the cold weather that keeps you inside to cozy up on the couch with a warm mug of hot chocolate and watch holiday movies… Not so much that last part […]

Peppermint Crunch Brownies – Have A #GRAINHoliday
One of my favorite flavor combinations during the holidays (or any time of year really) is chocolate and peppermint. So when Hodgson Mill invited me to participate in their “Have a #GRAINHoliday” Recipe Contest, I knew exactly what I wanted to make! Chocolate Peppermint Crunch Brownies! Hodgson Mill is a family-owned company that makes products such as […]

Cookies and Cream Chocolate Layer Cake
I don’t make cakes often. Probably because I’m not a huge cake person. I like soft, chewy cookies and rich, fudgy brownies so much more than fluffy or spongy cakes. But when you’re in charge of dessert for a dinner party, a beautiful cake is usually the first thing that comes to mind. Specifically, a […]
Pumpkin Rugelach for #LeftoversClub11
I learned two very important lessons about baking the first time I made rugelach. It was while I was still living with my Bubby. I waited until she had gone out to do some errands to take over the kitchen and (not knowing at the time) make a ginormous mess. There was flour everywhere, bits of […]
Dark Chocolate Cake Batter Truffles for #SundaySupper
I never made truffles before. Oh sure, I’ve made the easy ones where you crush up Oreos and combine with cream cheese and then coat them in chocolate, but I’ve never made actual truffles. It’s been on my “Baking Bucket List” but I haven’t found anything that shouts out to me yet. Until I started searching around for recipes […]
Cake Batter Chocolate Chip & Peanut Butter Cup Cookies
The holiday season is definitely upon us. And what does that mean? BAKING! Practically all of the items in the baking section in Publix were on sale this week. AP flour was $1.99!!! You know I had to stock up. Sweetened condensed milk 2 for $4, BOGO on brownie and cake mix, and so many other deals… […]
Pumpkin Cut-out Cookies for #SundaySupper
Halloween is this week. I can’t believe how fast October flew by. Pretty soon it’ll be Thanksgiving (and Chanukah!) and then it’s Christmas, and then we’ll be settling into a brand new year. Oy freaking vey.Let’s stop letting the world whizz by us and slow down a bit. It’s Sunday, the best day to sit […]

We’ve got a jar full of skeleton heads, scarecrows and witches galore, and an enormous spider web taking over the entire wall of our foyer, complete with a giant spider right in the center. […]
