No-Bake Cookies and Cream Bars

Oreos and marshmallows.  These are two of my favorite things on earth.  Now imagine making a no-bake bar that combines them together… it’s a reality. I’m a bit of a snob when it comes to marshmallows.  Marshmallows come in three delicious sizes.  Usually called miniature, original, and jumbo (depending on your brand).  I only like the Kraft Jet-Puffed miniature sized ones.  My husband isn’t especially picky and likes all the sizes, but only the mini ones in cocoa.  The jumbo marshmallows are awesome because of their sheer ginormous size, but they’re a bit too sticky for my taste.  Hmm…  By that I …

Peanut Butter Blondies

Peanut butter.  And sometimes chocolate.  Need I say more? I’m pretty sure if you’re a peanut butter fanatic then you’re going to love me for sharing this recipe with you.  Heck, I love myself. I made a version of these peanut butter blondies last year, my Peanut Butter Chocolate Dipped Blondies.  Today’s blondies are a slightly different because they are thinner and I added peanut butter chips to the batter.  Additional peanut buttery goodness is always better, right? As far as I’m concerned, these peanut butter blondies are the only peanut butter bar recipe you’ll ever need.  (Hence, my making it again …

Black and White Heart Sugar Cookies

Have you made your quintessential heart shaped cookies for Valentine’s Day? I surprised myself by wanting to make cut-out cookies because I tend to avoid making them.  I’m a perfectionist so the process of rolling and cutting cookie dough is daunting to me.  That’s a nice way of saying that I get easily frustrated when I don’t roll out the dough to be the same exact thickness for every single cut-out and I usually throw a temper tantrum for trying over and over again to get it right.  Unfortunately my husband has been a witness to those very events in the past so for both …

Cherry and White Chocolate Chip Cookies

Who likes to make holiday themed goodies?  I do. I’m sad that the Christmas season has passed because that means that I don’t have an excuse to make dozens and dozens of cookies.  Hmm…  or do I?  I have a cool idea.  Valentine’s Day is a holiday, and it’s even still cold out so the hot oven won’t make the kitchen unnecessarily warm, and it’s even right around the corner! I just bought this sweet heart printed blouse, these cute heart pajamas, and I painted my finger nails with red polish with gold sparkles.  It’s not that far fetched that I’m …

Gooey Mixed Nut Bars

I am nuts for my hubby.  Get it nuts… nut bars.  😉  Even though Valentine’s Day is still a couple of weeks away, I’ve already asked my husband if he’ll be my valentine.  I do this to him every year and he always says it’s not time yet because he feels Valentine’s Day is the day for valentines.  Technically he’s right but it’s good to plan ahead, right?  😉 I usually post on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays but I missed yesterday.  Busy?  Lazy?  Tired?  All of the above.  It was however bothering me and couldn’t leave it alone (and I’m …
