Peanut Butter and Jelly Sugar Cookie Pizza

Peanut-Butter-and-Jelly-Sugar-Cookie-Pizza-recipe-inspired-by-Disney

Tonight we are letting Jordan stay up super late to watch the fireworks. Well, that's the plan anyway. A 9:30pm start time is going to be interesting, especially since she usually goes to bed at 8! I think we'll be needing this Peanut Butter & Jelly Sugar Cookie Pizza come Friday morning as a pick-me-up. I'm so excited to have my friend Trish here today. She blogs over at Mom on Timeout and makes some of my favorite recipes like Turtle Thumbprints and Strawberry Lime Agua Fresca, and she loves Reese's Peanut Butter Cups as much as I do! Be sure to go by and check out some of her amazing sweet and savory eats! Hi there! My name is Trish and I blog over at Mom On Timeout. I have two rambunctious and sweet little boys who keep me … {continue reading}

I would like to welcome Karly, from Buns in my Oven to the blog today!  It's seriously so exciting to have her here today because, well, I've been in awe of her for a very long time. She makes things like Peanut Butter Bars, Chocolate Peanut Butter Buckeye Cake, and now, this Hot Fudge Fluffernutter Banana Bread. See a theme? We both heart peanut butter! Welcome Karly! Hi there. I'm Karly from Buns In My Oven and I should warn you that I always get a serious case of stage fright when I guest post. Y'all are staring at me and expecting me to make you laugh or drool or probably both, and guys, the pressure. It's too much! But, then I did what everyone always says to do and I pictured all of you in your underwear. It wasn't a … {continue reading}

Orange Chocolate Spice Cookies

I am so, so excited to have my BFF Lisa from Wine & Glue here today! Lisa and I met about a year ago and we bonded over our love of rainbows, cookie butter, and cocktails. Let's give her a warm welcome, shall we? Orange Chocolate Spice Cookies.  The sweet mixture of Orange and Chocolate with the added bonus of delicious spices, and smothered in a glaze. Hey Crazy for Crust readers!  My name is Lisa, and I blog over at Wine & Glue.  I'm a mom, and on the side I like to pretend that I'm a baker, a chef, a party planner, a seamstress, and a graphic designer. I am so happy to be here to help Dorothy out while she enjoys some much deserved R&R with her family.  One of the things I love most about Dorothy (and seriously I … {continue reading}

Raspberry Tartlets

DSC_0989-edited-title

This week I'm headed to sunny Southern California and the wonderment, joy, and soul-sucking place called Disneyland. We've never been in summer and I'm so super excited about going in June (cue sarcasm). But really, we've been looking forward to this trip for a very long time and I'm going to try reallllly hard to unplug as much as possible all week. And thanks to a great line-up of bloggers, I'm going to get to do just that! First up is one of my very best real-life and internet-blog friends, Ashton from Something Swanky. (Actually,  think I can stop saying internet friend in any way related to her - we really are real-life friends.) I can't even express how much Ashton means to me, and I'm so excited for her to hijack my blog for the … {continue reading}

21 Things I Learned at BlogHer Food 2013

BlogHerFood2013053

I had such a great time at BlogHer Food in Austin last weekend. It was almost an overwhelming few days. There was so much to say, do, see, and hear that I found myself a little insane and brain dead by my Monday morning flight. I learned so much at this conference - but not all of it are blogging tips. Sure, I learned a lot of those, and I'm sharing some with you right here today. But I also learned a lot about networking, bloggers, and how to attend a conference, so I thought I'd share some of them with you! 1. Make sure you have a posse at the conference. Even if it's just one other blogger you know well from online, even if you don't room together. Have someone you know you can hang with, unless you're one of those super … {continue reading}

Mocha Brownies with a Crust

mocha-brownies (5 of 8)

These Mocha Brownies with a Crust are an amazing brownie infused with Gevalia coffee for a great afternoon pick-me-up! I love having parties. I think I always have. I would much rather host a party than go to one - that way the control freak in me can hoard every single detail. If you ever come to a party at my house, don't bother offering to bring anything; my answer will be no. Seriously, I'm a total control freak. You just may make the best baked beans ever, but that may clash with my Italian Trattoria theme. {Yes, I know I have issues.} My favorite part of any party (that I'm planning, hosting, or attending) is dessert. Obviously. And you know what pairs really, really good with dessert? Coffee. Coffee is one of those things at … {continue reading}

Pineapple Upside Down Cake Batter Snow Cones

cake-batter-sno-cones (7 of 10)w

Oxo fruit tools make life so much easier - so make a Pineapple Upside Down Cake Batter Snow Cone! Your kids will crown you queen of the snow cones! Whenever I travel by plane, I always worry about one thing. {Well, really, I worry about a lot of things, but I try not to think about fiery crashes and Grey's Anatomy.} What do I worry about before, during the flight, and after we get in the taxi? Water. As in, where am I going to get it? I don't like tap water. The only place I will willingly drink tap water is at my parents house. The water is drinkable, tastes good, and unlike here in Sacramento, you don't have to chew it. Anyway. When I travel, I want to go to the store and get a gallon jug of water. I want to refill the one (or … {continue reading}

Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Cookies

bakery-style-chocolate-chip-cookies (3 of 6)

These chocolate chip cookies aren't just a plain old cookie. They're XL Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Cookies, made with browned butter, and they're the best chocolate chip cookies I've ever had! Frosted Flakes. Sourdough Bread. Nutella. Oreos. Full-fat, real ice cream. Jose Ole Taquitos. These are all just a few of the things that I cannot buy at the grocery store. I mean, I do buy them. But they disappear faster than you can say "don't eat four servings at once." Have you ever had Frosted Flakes mouth? You know, when you eat an entire box of Frosted Flakes in two days - no milk - and your mouth is raw from all the crunchy? Er, no. I've never had that. You'll notice that there is nothing healthy on that list. I've never said (nor … {continue reading}

Almond Cupcakes with Caramel Frosting

almond-cupcakes-caramel-frosting (2 of 4)w

If you love almond, these Almond Cupcakes are for you! Filled with almonds, the cupcakes are topped with a caramel frosting that tastes like fudge! I just did something I never thought I'd do: I called the American Girl Store in LA and asked if I could schedule an appointment for a doll to get her hair done and her ears pierced. {Yes, doll ear piercing is a thing.} I also uttered the following sentence to Jordan: "If the salon can't fix Jenny's hair, she may have to make a trip to the doll hospital for a new head." Go ahead. You can say it. I'm totally that parent. The one who is obsessed with making her daughter's doll human. {In my defense, Jenny's hair is pretty bad. I tried the whole downy/water spray. We brushed it. She needs … {continue reading}

Crust and Crumbs: Random and Sugar

jog a thon

Happy Friday my peeps! What are you doing this weekend? Right now I'm at BlogHer Food in Austin, TX. If you're there, be sure to find me! Should we get started on our tour of random and sugar? 1. Jordan had a jog-a-thon at school on last week. I decided to run with her. She made it 14 laps, all in a sparkly vest. (Did you expect anything less from her?) I swear, that girl runs FAST. I was running full speed and she still passed me. Crazy! 2. Do you like bananas? I certainly love to use them in cooking and baking! Did you know that Dole has kicked off a Summer Peel the Love tour? There's a banana truck driving cross country and YOU can go see it! I'm going to have a post all about a party with some fun Dole products and … {continue reading}
