I used to buy granola bars like they were going out of style. You know, the chocolate dipped ones stuffed with marshmallows, chocolate chips, and sprinkles? Those ones. Now I make granola bars like they’re going out of style. And I don’t dip them in chocolate, much as I’d sometimes like to. These aren’t a granola bar […]

Saturday Sweets: Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Squares
Who doesn’t love Rice Krispies? Ooooooo, OOOhhh, oooh, pick me, pick meeee! (*waves hands over head*) But wait, what’s that you say? You’ve put them into square form and added peanut butter and chocolate? Ohhh, SNAP. And crackle. And, obviously, pop. I’ll eat that. It’s the strange truth: Rice Krispies in milk give me the […]
Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Dip
I’ve been seeing cookie dough dip variations everywhere lately, on Pinterest, other blogs, and even when hanging out with my big sister. If you’re like most people I love, finding a way to legitimately eat massive quantities of cookie dough as an appetizer sounds like a great idea. And you’d be right. My sister makes […]
Happy Cookies
Who doesn’t want to eat happiness? I know I do. You may know these as peanut butter blossoms, kiss cookies, or any other number of names – they’re a popular cookie with many variations, including my mini egg ones for Easter. Growing up, one of my sisters dubbed these “happy cookies”, and the name stuck. In […]
Saturday Sweets: PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP SQUARES
So I have no idea what day it is, ever. One week into being at home and all semblance of routine seems oh so long ago. Now I’m understanding why my mom did laundry on Mondays and Thursdays, grocery shopping on Tuesdays, and housework on Fridays – she just needed something to mark which day […]
Peanut Butter Oreo Ice Cream Pie
Sometimes you come across a recipe you know is bound to become a stand-by for many years of parties to come. Enjoyed by kids and adults alike at a Labour Day barbecue, this “pie” is impressive to look at, and ridiculously easy to throw together. I imagine my kids will be asking for this for […]
Saturday Sweets: Peanutty Candy Bars
It was just going to be one of those unassuming days at Zellers, soon to be officially Target. I just needed a buggy to cart around little b and the spoils of what was going to be a large shopping trip. Turns out that their buggies need to swallow a loonie in order to be […]
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Skillet Cookie
Skillet cookies. Also known as the reason I bought a cast iron skillet. Also known as the reason I no longer fit a size zero skirt (that could also be because I’m not 17 anymore). Also known as how to win friends and influence people with only one dish and 30 minutes from “hey, we […]
Saturday Sweets: Apple Oat Bars
You’d think I’m unaware that spring is here. I’ve been on a comfort food kick for awhile now that shows no signs of bowing to the pressure of evening light, buds on trees, and grass in need of mowing. I am all about the soups, chilis, pastas, and turkey dinner these days. Not to mention […]
