Happy Friday! I was in the mood for baking cookies. When am I not? My husband and I LOVE cookies, whether it’s baking them or eating them (but mostly eating them). No wonder why Cookie Monster was my favorite Sesame Street character when I was a kid. 😉 These Peanut Butter Oatmeal M&M cookies are packed with peanut butter flavor. It makes sense since that’s why it’s part of the name. These are perfect for all those peanut butter fans out there!

Are you the kind of person who drinks your iced coffee fast or slow? I could be either depending on my mood. I had a lot of errands to run this weekend so I drank my favorite iced coffee, this cafe frappe, like it was a race. The result…I felt like Speedy Gonzales for the rest of the day. Am I dating myself? He’s a Warner Brothers Looney Tunes cartoon character, a Mexican mouse that runs around really fast. Anyway, I had a lot of energy. 🙂 If you love iced coffee then you’ve come to the right place. A cafe frappe is …

High Domed Chocolate Chip Muffins

A chocolate chip muffin is one of my favorite baked goodies on earth. I rarely eat them anymore because I always seem to be on a diet, but every now and then I’ll splurge. Funny thing is that lately I find that many coffee shops or bakeries make their chocolate chip muffins too greasy or heavy. Part of what I love about muffins is the base muffin itself, which is why I made these wonderful bakery like chocolate chip muffins…only better! I’m in love with these high domed chocolate chip muffins! Every bite is simply scrumptious. Crunchy top…buttery and moist muffin base…filled with sweet chocolate. …
