Toffee

November 23rd, 2015Tina2 Comments

It’s candy season. Cookies are really my thing this time of the year and as you know I’ve been in full on cookie baking made for the past few weeks. I wouldn’t say that I’m tired of making them (or eating them), but let’s just say that I felt the need to switch things up a bit. Of course candy came to mind because we all know the holidays are also about the candy canes and chocolate shaped holiday characters. No, I’m not making either of those. I’m a newbie when it comes to candy making so let’s go easy, okay? I have to …

Eggnog Latte

November 20th, 2015Tina0 Comments

I have one word for you. Eggnog. Yes, I’m going there… already. A couple of weeks ago I was standing on line at Starbucks and saw that they have an eggnog latte on their menu. I’ve made an Eggnog Frappuccino before… which is to die for, but I’d never made a hot version until now. After seeing how easy it was to make a pumpkin spice latte at home, I knew that I had to give the eggnog version a try. Do you recognize the glass of eggnog? It’s from my favorite Christmas movie that I must watch every year. …

Chocolate Pecan Bars

If you bake one thing for the holidays it MUST be these bars. Seriously guys, these bars are freaking amazing. You should make these for Thanksgiving dessert next week. You know, because it’s the holiday where you fill up a huge table full of everything that you could possibly make. (Holy crap I can’t believe next week is Thanksgiving.) These bars have a shortbread crust which is topped with gooey pecan goodness. Oh oh, aaannd, these bars have chocolate in the pecan layer! How can you go wrong with that? The below shot is what it looks like in all …

Chicken, Black Bean, and Cheese Tostadas

November 16th, 2015Tina0 Comments

Are you sick of tacos? If yes, then who are you and do you really exist? Let me rephrase the question. Are you a taco fanatic but you’re looking for something a little different? If no, then carry on with life as you know it. If yes, then tostadas are where it’s at. Instead of using a hard taco shell or a soft tortilla, you’re using a baked tortilla here, otherwise known as a toasted tortilla. Get it? Tostada. Except if you are like me then you’ll accidentally be calling these Tostitos simply because the two words sound similar. After having called them a “tostito” …

Double Chocolate Snowball Cookies

November 13th, 2015Tina2 Comments

Is bigger better? (With cookies, you probably know my husband’s answer to that.) Cell phone companies think bigger is better. Do you remember when our flip phones kept shrinking in size with every passing year? The smaller the better. Now the newest cell phone model is bigger than the year before. My husband and I recently got new cell phones. We each got different models, but both are bigger than the ones we replaced. In reality my new cell phone is only a few extra milometers but it felt like a huge change. I almost felt like my 3 year …
