Candy Cane Shaped Raspberry Cheese Danish

I’ve got the most Christmas-y festive treat for you (and it’s not cookies). I’ve made this raspberry cheese danish a number of times. I shared it with you originally in 2013 and again in 2019 (same recipe, just updated pictures). It always comes out pretty and it’s always a huge hit, especially with my dad and husband. My parents came out for a visit last week to see the home decorated for Christmas, so I thought I’d make the danish again. But wait, there’s more. 😉 I saw online that you can shape a cheese danish into a candy cane …

Gingerbread Drop Cookies (Redux)

Oh my goodness, these cookies make my kitchen smell Christmas-y. I originally shared this recipe here back in 2015. Since many of you may be new around here, I thought it was worth sharing again. Why? If you love gingerbread cookies, then you will love these. If you love gingerbread cookies but don’t want to roll out cute gingerbread people shapes, then you will love these even more. These gingerbread drop cookies were a huge hit with me, my family, and friends. I gave them 5 out of 5 hats rating back when I used to rate recipes on the …

Fall Sugar Cookies

Hi guys! Life has been busy lately, but it’s all good. Plus, after almost 10 years of blogging, it’s hard to find new recipes that I think are worth sharing with you.

Actually, I’ve shared this sugar cookie recipe with you before, but it’s worth sharing it again because it’s the only roll out sugar cookie recipe that I’ll ever …

Banana Chocolate Chip Oaties

All you need is 5 ingredients and 25 minutes for these cookies. Ready, set, and go. These aren’t your usual cookies, well, not my usual cookies. There is no added sugar (not counting the chocolate chips), no flour, no eggs, and no added fat like butter or oil. So what’s in them? Bananas, oats, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and chocolate chips. I was interested in trying this recipe because they sounded “healthy.” I don’t use that term loosely anymore because my husband clued me into how a lot of people misuse the term by making things that are exactly as bad …

Zucchini and Pea Orzo Salad

Is anyone else in a seasonal confused state of mind like me? I’m craving all things Fall but I’m still enjoying summer foods. I’m watching Fall and Christmas movies on the Hallmark Channel. I’m seeing Halloween candy and decorations in the stores. Starbucks is already talking about the date PSLs will go on sale. I’ve got Fall inspiration photos on my social media feeds. Naturally, this means that I’m influenced so I’m starting to think about how I’ll decorate the house for Fall and what kinds of pumpkin and apple goodies to make. Fall is my favorite season so I …
