One of my favorite go-to desserts for the holidays are Oreo Truffles (or as I call them – Balls from Heaven!). They are delicious, easy to make and I don’t know one person who doesn’t like them. They are great for cookie exchanges, holiday parties or any family get-together. Since my friends and family seem …

My holiday baking bonanza has already begun this year. That’s right, it starts before Halloween and doesn’t stop until after New Years. Yikes, that is a long baking bonanza! I’m really going to have to step it up at the gym to counteract all these goodies. Since Halloween is fast approaching, we thought we’d round …
Have you lost your husband to football season yet? Family time taking a backseat to fantasy football meet-ups? The first games of the season were just a few days ago and Sunday (and Saturday if your guy likes college) football is about to take over a lot of households for the next few months. More …
While I’m sad that summer is ending, I’m pretty darn happy that the kids have gone back to school. Before we really get into the swing of school activities, we took a quick trip to visit family over Labor Day weekend as one last summer fling. As I’ve told you guys before, there are a …
I went to St. Louis to visit family a few weekends ago and that means – “let the baking begin”! I can’t go to visit them without whipping up something yummy and fabulous. It is just expected of me these days. The weather was beautiful and the pool temperature was just right, so I needed a …
My baby is THREE YEARS OLD today! *sob* Seriously, it’s all going so fast. I was just bringing him home from the hospital yesterday, right? He can’t be three. I’m completely rejecting it all. Even in my denial, I did make him a cake. I had to. It’s my thing to make a homemade, fantastic …
It has been blazing hot this week in Chicago so the last thing I want to do is turn on the oven. This heat could last a while but that doesn’t mean my family doesn’t want dessert the rest of the summer. What better way to solve that than to make no-bake desserts?! I don’t …
It’s time for a good, old Sugar Cookie Summer Berry Crisp. Recently I found myself with a tube of pre-made sugar cookie dough and no idea what to do with it. I needed it to test a recipe for an assignment but ended up going another way so it was left unused. I’m a bake …
Graham crackers are a childhood snack staple. Kids love them and parents feel good about indulging because they are healthy and seem like a more sensible option than let’s say, an Oreo cookie. On the surface, store bought graham crackers may seem healthy and a great snack to feed you little ones but upon closer …
It was Mother’s Day this past weekend and I was baking again. I wanted to mix it up and do a little cheesecake to celebrate such a big day – celebrating moms and all! I have seen Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Bars before but it wasn’t enough to make it exactly according to the recipe. I …
My peanut butter and chocolate obsession continues. Last time it was my Peanut Butter Graham Cracker Balls and this time it’s a brownie treat. A few weeks ago I decided to whip this concotion up. Who doesn’t love a peanut butter cookie crust, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup surrounded by moist brownie and a rich peanut …
I was trying to think of something yummy to make for my family over Easter weekend because when we are all together it is the perfect opportunity to have an audience to ohhh and awww over my baked goods. Plus, it is more people to actually eat the desserts instead of my husband and I …
