Reese’s Peanut Butter Bars. That’s what the experts said I should call these two-bite “Change Your Life” treats. Said in my best Steel Magnolias accent, which I happen to be watching tonight. We’ll come back to that. Continue reading »

I had a blast playing Secret Santa at the office this year!! I always do. This yearly tradition has become a great way to welcome in the holidays, with a bit of mischief and good fun.
The week of Thanksgiving we fill out our Santa wish list, then blind draw who we will secretly spoil the week of our annual company Christmas Party. Last week, that all happened in epic proportion. I drew Nick. Nick, who’s favorite candy is Junior Mints. Continue reading »

I’ve been looking forward to receiving my 2015 cooking magazine subscriptions (I’m changing it up a bit this year). The first to arrive in the mailbox was BON APPETIT with a big banner across the top that read GET HEALTHY IN 2015. Right on!!
So I promptly made cookies. Pistachio Oatmeal Cookies. Continue reading »

This Strawberry Pecan Cake is a family recipe. One that has been passed down from generation to generation. Granny Cile, aka The Cake Lady, shared her cake craft with our community for many years. Whether it was baking for a church event or delivering her signature cakes to the parish hall for a family in need, Granny baked. Continue reading »

Spending Friday afternoon in the warehouse, checking and packing orders, was a wonderful reminder of how teamwork can propel a small company. Laying wide awake in bed early Saturday morning…told me where my heart was.
When Chocolate & Peanut Butter Pretzel Squares appeared on my Pinterest feed, I knew they needed to be delivered to all my awesome workmates. Continue reading »

There are some things I routinely make from scratch that I take for granted. Homemade Whipped Cream is one of them. Consider this post being less about a recipe and more about encouragement to make from scratch whenever possible. It’s really nice to know the ingredients in your dishes. In this case…just two.

Every other week or so I will choose one of my work-mates to select a recipe, that I then recreate, picture, post about, and deliver to them to Share the Love. This time up I chose Allan and he chose Chocolate Rum Balls. Continue reading »

As I’ve said before, I’m not sure who comes up with these ‘National Days’ but National Peanut Butter Day was just too good to let slip away. Since our most popular posts involve Chocolate (Bacon & Bread Bowls being a close second)…Homemade Peanut Butter Cups seemed the obvious choice. Continue reading »
