Ah, Halloween! All the fun of fall (apple cider, pumpkin spice, crunchy leaves, crisp weather) plus jack-o-lanterns, decorating, dressing up, getting scared silly, and, of course, trick-or-treating. So much fun, but so. much. candy. What do you with all your kids’ candy? They eat some, and obviously you eat some. I mean, wandering around following …

Halloween is one of our family’s favorite holidays. My kids love it. I love it. The grandparents even love it. And when I say the grandparents love it, I mean they completely transform their house into a Halloween masterpiece every year. You’ve never seen two grandparents put in so much time into spider webs, creepy …

It’s time to make some more Crumbl copycat cookies! If you haven’t tried some of the other ones, may we suggest the Galaxy Brownie Cookies, Chocolate Cake Cookies, Cookies and Cream Milkshake Cookies or the Churro Cookies?

Like I’ve said before, the problem can be that you never know if the recipe is really good even though the photo looks fantastic. Photography is a funny little thing that can make everything look better. The lighting, the positioning, the Photoshopping…it can change everything! That is why, I like to make most things before …

Chocolate cake is one of my all-time favorite desserts. Every year for my birthday, I request a homemade chocolate cake. There is just something so comforting, delicious and damn-near perfect about a rich chocolate cake. But when you make it into a rich, deliciously, handheld cookie topped with a chocolate fudge buttercream frosting, I’m just …

A few weeks ago we featured an Oreo Brownie Cookie which was a Crumbl copycat recipe and it was delightful. It was a deliciously soft, Oreo-based cookie topped with a creamy, cream cheese frosting. Since everyone seems to love the Oreo cookie last time, we are tackling another favorite Crumbl Oreo Cookies – the Cookies …

My husband has always claimed that he doesn’t like cinnamon cookies. Until now. After catching him eating a second and third of these churro cookies (after claiming he wasn’t going to like them), he had to admit that these were REALLY good. “Like-one-of-my-favorite-cookies-good”, he said. I was shocked. He isn’t one to try new things …
