Apple Oreos

Last week my daughter started first grade. First. Grade. Sigh. Wait a minute. I’m having a flashback to my post about when she ended Kindergarten. I think I said the same thing. I guess I’m nothing if not predictable. I mean, in first grade she’s with big kids. On the playground. When I dropped her [...]

Chocolate Oatmeal Cookie Dough Cupcakes

Yesterday was my dad’s 65th birthday. {Happy Birthday Daddy!!!} Since we live two hours away from my parents, we can’t always get together on our actual birthdays. This last week before school starts is kicking my bottom (does this happen to anyone else? Slow slow slow days and then BAM! School!), so my parents came [...]

“Pie” Cookies (and more!)

I can’t believe it. This is my 100th post. And, as an added (unplanned but lucky) bonus, I hit 100 followers yesterday on Google Friend Connect. Amazing, really. I’m speechless. If you’d asked me a year ago, when this blog was still in my head and not out in the world, would I think I’d [...]

Spiral Cookies

Last weekend we took Jordan to see Mr. Popper’s Penguins. I loved that book as a kid. I still remember turning the pages and looking at the illustrations of the penguins in the refrigerator. There was a short movie that played before the main event. It featured one of the characters from Ice Age. It’s [...]

Peanut Butter Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches (Cooking With Kids)

This Sunday is Father’s Day. So I thought, for this week’s installment of Cooking With Kids, that I should have Jordan help me make something for her daddy. I immediately thought about these peanut butter cookies, the easiest ones one the planet. Let me tell you something about my husband, Mel. He loves peanut butter. [...]

S’mores Cookies

My daughter is a Daisy Scout.  (A Daisy is the early stages of Girl Scouts.) It’s so cute, really.  She’s got a blue vest with a Girl Scout pin. And she already has a few patches. I mean, I was a Brownie when I was young so I expected her to get patches. But, nowadays, [...]

Oatmeal Scotchies

When I was a kid, I hated butterscotch. Detested it. My mom would make rice crispy treats and add a package of butterscotch chips and I wouldn’t touch them with a 10-foot pole. But, as I’ve gotten older, my picky palate has improved. I mean, I love Almond Joy candy bars now. Like, love to [...]

M&M Almond Chocolate Chip Cookies

Remember when I posted my mom’s banana bread recipe a few days ago? And I talked about how that batter is the best raw batter ever (if you’re into being a batter connoisseur, which I am)? I mentioned the #2 slot would go to a cookie recipe I’d post soon? Well.  Here you go, my [...]

Chocolate Sugar Cookies (Easter Egg Cookies)

I’ve wanted to try out chocolate sugar cookies for a long time, so when I thought about making cookies for Easter I decided to go for it. They do not disappoint! Super soft and chocolaty but not too sweet; they make a great pairing for the crunch and sweetness of royal icing.   So my [...]

“Pizza” for April Fool’s Day

When I was a kid I hated April Fool’s Day. I was always worried that someone would play a joke on me. I did not (nor do I now) like being the butt of a joke or being made fun of. Kids can be mean.  However, Jordan, at 6, has not had the pleasure of [...]
