S’mores Scones

I will admit, chop­ping choco­late bars, quar­ter­ing jum­bo marsh­mal­lows and crush­ing gra­ham crack­ers are not on the list of break­fast-mak­ing activ­i­ties I ever imag­ined I would be check­ing off at 8 o’clock in the morn­ing. But, with that first sticky, gooey, choco­latey bite — s’mores for break­fast sud­den­ly made sense. BIG TIME. Con­tin­ue read­ing →

Peanut Butter Cake — complete with a surprise inside ((oh, and it’s in a jar))

This cake recipe is anoth­er twist on my favorite White Almond Sheet Cake ((aka White Texas Sheet Cake)). I have made sev­er­al ver­sions of this recipe over the last few years, and truth­ful­ly each one is as good as the next. There is some­thing about stove top cake bat­ter and stove top but­ter­cream. They just nev­er will dis­ap­point. Well, Con­tin­ue read­ing →

Choco­late chunks mixed with a salty, brown sug­ar-rich dense, chewy, moist, cakey — brown­ie-like cook­ie bar is a real threat to your pant’s size. Trust me. Con­tin­ue read­ing →

Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer — ((no bake)) cookies??

I few weeks ago I can across one of the cutest Christ­mas cook­ie ideas I think I have ever seen — when I viewed this Pin of Pin­ter­est. At first glance, I could tell these bright red cook­ie balls were not dipped and with that lit­tle detail, my curios­i­ty was peaked. I pro­ceed­ed to click on the Pin and scroll through a slew of cute pho­tos until I came across the recipe. Con­tin­ue read­ing →

Half-Birthday Boy and Cookie Butter Crumble Topped Brownies.

Before I share this yum­my cook­ie but­ter crum­ble topped brown­ie recipe with you, let me first tell you why we cel­e­brate the half-birth­days of my “lit­tle” herd. It all began on April 15, 2003; the day Baby Kade turned 6 months old. Well, actu­al­ly — it real­ly began way back when Baby Kade was about 4 days old & since I haven’t told a good sto­ry in a while — what bet­ter way to tell a sto­ry than with a per­fect brown­ie as the punch-line?!
