Recipe: Peanut butter M&M cookies

Yesterday was my dear friend Annie‘s birthday! She is the queen of homemade cards and mails me something for every single holiday and special occasion. I wanted to return the favor for once and send her a special package. I had a small present for her, but a package from me isn’t complete without...

Recipe: Peppermint chocolate whoopie pie pops

To my regular readers, these might look a little familiar since they look almost identical to the peppermint chocolate cake pops that I posted on Monday. But as the saying goes, don’t judge a book by it’s cover because… …inside the white chocolate/crushed candy cane shell of these pops isn’t cake – it’s whoopie pies! Chocolate...

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas… Which means it’s time for cookies, gingerbread houses, and everything peppermint chocolate! To kick off the holiday season, I decided to recreate Starbuck’s new holiday cake pop, peppermint brownie.

Recipe: Pumpkin pie almonds

It’s almost Thanksgiving, which means all things Christmas are right around the corner, including peppermint and chocolate desserts. I’m not quite sure why those flavors go with winter and the holiday season, but they’re my favorite flavor combo so I just go with it. Before we get slammed with holiday decorations and flavors, I...

Recipe: Gluten free cinnamon raisin bread pudding

Odds are, you know someone who doesn’t eat gluten. Some people have celiac disease, which is gluten intolerance, while many more are sensitive to gluten. It’s become a bit of a trendy diet in the last few years, which makes it seem silly or unnecessary to some, but many people really do benefit from...

Recipe: Pumpkin butter

Recipe: Pumpkin butter

On Monday I shared a slow cooker recipe for apple butter with the promise that pumpkin butter was coming next. You can also make pumpkin butter in a Crock-Pot, but I chose to do this one on the stovetop. It was almost as easy as the slow cooker apple butter, but required a little more...
