1. Well hey guys, long time no talk? Sorry for going dark there for a couple days…I honestly just didn’t really have all that much to share, and pairing that with some family stuff and some busy days and evenings, I just didn’t have it in me to blog anything worthwhile. Hey, it happens. But here we ...
Weekly Meal Plan {9/13}
I hope you all are having a fantastic weekend so far! We’ve had our fair share of fun over here so far, and today I’m hoping that I’ll be able to pry Jay away from football long enough for us to paint our office. We’ve had the paint for almost 2 weeks now and just keep putting it off…we both really ...
Chewy Oatmeal Pecan Cookies
So last week, one of my co-workers brought in some cookies that she had baked over the weekend and was generous enough to share one with me. Never mind the fact that I was most likely staring them down and drooling from the mouth as she talked about them with me. But anyways… The cookies were ...

Black & White Chocolate Peppermint Cookies
So a few weeks ago I made these cookies. You may remember me teasing you with mentioning them. Unfortunately, I couldn’t share them with you at the time because they were top secret. Okay, well not really “top secret,” but they were my contribution to The Great Food Blogger Cookie ...
Uncle Sam’s Crispy Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies
So yesterday, I got a little creative in the kitchen. As it turns out, that creativity paid off in a big way…in the form of some pretty amazing cookies. I noticed last week that Attune Foods was having a recipe contest for December, with the challenge of making an original homemade gift ...
Pumpkin Banana Bread
Alright, let’s talk about that “special bread” I’ve been mentioning for the past two days. I know I was a little bit of a tease and honestly, I promise I would have given it to you sooner…but first, I had to remember the ingredients that I used and actually write them out. Whoops. This ...
Vanilla Glazed Cranberry Apple Cookies
Vanilla Glazed Cranberry Apple Cookies! (see recipe below) I love apples. I love cookies. I also love apples in my cookies. Back in October, you may remember when Jay and I celebrated our 3rd Annual Fall Festival with some of our closest friends. You may also remember me briefly mentioning ...
