    Cinnamon Rolls

    ByKristina August 31, 2020

    I make most everything from scratch so I don’t think much of it to be honest. Yet, after a half dozen messages requesting our cinnamon roll recipe came in replying to Friday’s Instagram story with cinnamon rolls in the background, I figured I should just share it here instead of continuing to send a photo…

    Softer than Brittle Chocolate Chip Cookies

    ByKristina July 26, 2018

    We love a good cookie in our house. Crunchy on the outside, soft in the middle. I have a handful of recipes that I come back to when we’re in the mood to bake a batch. Sometimes we go for molasses cookies other times cookie bars, but sometimes nothing beats a good chocolate chip cookie. …

    No Stress Holiday Desserts with Hickory Farms

    ByKristina December 14, 2016

    Desserts are easily a favorite at every holiday gathering and they can be the most time consuming to make. Holiday candies from scratch, pies of varying flavors, peanut brittles, cookies, and more. Holiday desserts are endless but we don’t have an endless amount of time to make them.  One year we spent an entire making…

    Luscious Lemon Bars

    ByKristina March 28, 2016

    Have you ever been convinced you just plain won’t like something? You haven’t tried it but surely, you won’t be a fan.  I have a few times and then I saddle up to try it and my first bite I’m not quite sure I’m convinced but then wham. Next thing I know, I’m craving them….

    Butter Nut Chewies

    ByKristina December 8, 2015

    One of the recipes I was introduced to when joining Ryan’s family was one of his favorites, Butter Nut Chewies. His mom made them for any occasion really but it was one of the things she would make for his birthday because he liked them so much. We make them at least a half dozen…

    Apple Chip Cake

    ByKristina August 20, 2015

    The weather here lately has been a little taste of Autumn. Cool mornings, warm afternoons and chilly evenings. This week has been extra cool and delightful. I know that it’s temporary but it’s enough to make me crave the Fall in the coming months. For a long time apple was what I thought of when…

    To Die For Brownies 

    ByKristina March 18, 2015

    I used to be a box brownies girl – and not even a huge brownies lover of any kind – at that. Too “cakey”, too dry, too…blech. One day I wanted brownies and I wasn’t about to drive to the local store for an overpriced box mix…and so it began. The hunt and crafting of…

    Melt In Your Mouth Pretzel Bites

    ByKristina February 25, 2015

    A couple of weeks ago, we took A to the mall and had Wetzel’s Pretzels while we were there. It was A’s first time having big, fluffy warm pretzels and it had been years for both Ryan and I.  They were so yummy. Ryan had grabbed them while A was taking a nap on me and…

    Cake Batter Chocolate Chip Cookies

    ByKristina April 2, 2014

    A few weeks ago I made a new recipe for cookies that I came across. They had rave reviews, looked delicious and I just couldn’t pass them up. So  I put A in the wrap and we started putting together all of the ingredients. I tasted the dough and became nervous, very nervous. I wasn’t…

    Raspberry Crisp Bars

    ByKristina August 8, 2013

    We love to bake in our house but to be honest we aren’t huge sweets eaters. We don’t eat frosting on our cake, we don’t eat a ton of chocolate. However, we do like fruit desserts. Love them really. My mother-in-law recently text me a photo of a crisp bar recipe on a recipe card…

    The Mug Cookie

    ByKristina July 31, 2013

    What?! Two posts in one day?! What is wrong with me! Clearly, I’m feeling like an overachiever. Well friends, I found Shay’s Whatever Wednesday post (that she co-hosts weekly with Alissa) in my reader and thought “oh My, if I don’t participate one more time…” So then I saw the topic was a recipe and…
