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 […]
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 […]
Perfectly Plain Peanut Butter Cookies

Nutella Cookies
I had a moment of self realization the other day. It came when I was preparing for out of town guests. When I was madly cleaning up in order to portray some semblance of order in my house, and I realize things. Things like, when all of my dishes are cleaned and put away, they […]
