Giant Batch of Giant Chocolate Chip Cookies

January 16th, 2019Tina0 Comments

I’m sorry. If you’re working on your new year’s resolution of eating healthy, this recipe is not going to make that easy. I’m not sorry to be sharing one of our favorite recipes of all time however. While I was busy baking all sorts of cookies during the holidays for friends and family, my husband wanted to whip up a batch of chocolate chip cookies, some to share with guests and some to indulge ourselves without feeling guilty for sneaking from the other piles of cookies that were really set aside to give away. My husband only makes chocolate chip cookies in …

Chili… Again

January 11th, 2019Tina0 Comments

Chili is the perfect food to be thinking about right now. Chili is great for cold weather or for the big game. Who’s up for some chili? I actually shared a chili recipe back in 2013. Yikes, that was my first year blogging so I’ll be celebrating 6 years already! Anyway, my husband and I make that chili recipe every winter and we love it. However, every time we make it, we say that it should have a tad more liquid. Apparently that didn’t bother us enough because we are only now finally adjusting the recipe to try to fix it. It’s really …

Simple Winter Decor

January 9th, 2019Tina0 Comments

Taking down the Christmas decorations is bitter sweet. I’m glad that the task is done but I miss the Christmas tree lights and all of the fun decorations. I struggle to decide when to take everything down for that same reason. Leave them up longer and get sick of them or end up with pine needles literally everywhere, or take them down too early and miss them more than I probably should. It’s a careful balance. Every January I also struggle with how to fill the space after I take everything down. I want to leave the same joy in …

Almond Biscotti… Made Smaller

December 28th, 2018Tina0 Comments

I love traditions, especially during the holiday season. Every Christmas my baby sister comes over and we bake cookies and we always have a blast. For the past 5 years we’ve made these almond biscotti. I actually posted the recipe 5 years ago. These cookies are THE best biscotti recipe I’ve ever made. Just to show ya, it’s the only biscotti on my blog because no other recipe has come close to being as good. They’ve set the bar for biscotti baking. They are perfect in every way, except the size. Every time we make them we think that they …

Peanut Butter Chocolate Cup Cookies

December 21st, 2018Tina0 Comments

With only a few days left until Christmas, I’m in full cookie baking mode. My grocery lists consist of Ramen noodle soup and baking ingredients. Don’t judge me. 😉 I blame my Ramen noodle obsession on the fact that I still have food aversion from being really sick a couple of weeks ago. However, I do feel bad my husband asks me what’s for dinner and I have no “real” food to offer him. It’s all for a good cause… cookies. And who doesn’t enjoy a little college flashback with Ramen. I always make at least one peanut butter cookie every Christmas. My peanut butter …
