Butterscotch Rice Krispie Bars

Butterscotch Rice Krispie Bars

I had the best intentions of sharing a super moist and fudgy chocolate zucchini cake with you this weekend, but alas, my computer containing the pictures is quite dead. It needs a serious dismantling to adjust the parts so it can power up and I can get all the pictures safely off, and I think […]

Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies

Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies

I wasn’t a very helpful baker when I lived at home. That’s probably putting it mildly – I chose cleaning the bathrooms over baking every week, and actually, I’d still probably rather clean than cook or bake. But hey, lucky me, now I’m an adult I get to do both. Thankfully, my kids are getting […]

Double Chocolate Salted Caramel Cookies

March 11, 2020 by Anna Leave a Comment

Double Chocolate Salted Caramel Cookies

A long title because you need to know two things: lots of chocolate, plus chips of salted caramel. Gemma informed me on a recent Thursday that the following day was a bake sale at school, for which her class was responsible for the baking. To be fair, the school probably did notify me on Monday, […]

Vanilla Chocolate Chip Sugar Cookies

Vanilla Chocolate Chip Sugar Cookies

I have a major weakness for big, fluffy, vanilla chocolate chip muffins, available at many bakeries and grocery stores to tempt me, basically cupcakes without the icing. The other day, all I wanted was a cookie that tasted like those muffins. I took into account my love for soft and chewy funfetti sugar cookies and […]

Cookies ‘n’ Cream Happy Cookies

November 27, 2019 by Anna 2 Comments

Cookies ‘n’ Cream Happy Cookies

Growing up, my mom would sometimes make cute little sugar-coated peanut butter cookies with chocolate Hershey’s kisses plunked in the middle that we always called simply Happy Cookies. I was feeling in a bit of a funk for awhile this fall, and felt my cookies could use a bit of happy injected into them. Since […]

Peanut Butter Protein Bars

Peanut Butter Protein Bars

Protein bars are one of those things. If you don’t have protein powder in your cupboard to make these, I don’t blame you – I wouldn’t have either, a few months ago. Don’t go running out to buy any, unless you want to increase your protein intake. BUT, if you’re the type that eats store […]

M&M Energy Balls

M&M Energy Balls

Ever thought energy balls fell apart a little too easily, or looked a little too dull? I certainly have, and I’m here to change that, because balls of energy should be anything but boring! I love the idea of balls of energy, since I am consistently searching for more than a smidge of extra energy […]

Ricardo’s Peanut Butter Brownies

February!! Have you all fallen off the healthy eating bandwagon yet? Are my Whole30 barely-acquaintances ready to become my real, fun friends again? Because brrrrooooooowwwnies! Basically I have (re)taken up exercising so I can (re)take up consuming more brownies. Ricardo (well, probably not him personally) kindly sent me a copy of this gorgeous magazine, and […]

Peanut Butter & Honey Krispie Treats

Peanut Butter & Honey Krispie Treats

There’s a blanket on my couch that I’m very protective of. I bought it on a whim at Superstore last year, and ended up spending most of the first two weeks of nights with Jack under it on the couch. There was something about the softness of that blanket hitting us that calmed us both […]

Perfectly Plain Peanut Butter Cookies

Perfectly Plain Peanut Butter Cookies

No flour, no butter, no mixer. Lots of peanut butter and some chocolate. Sometimes you see a recipe and just have to drop everything and make it immediately. These 5-ingredient peanut butter cookies are one of those recipes. So today, in anticipation of you also needing to drop everything to make these, I will save […]
