I’ve been very happy with my go-to biscuit recipe over the past few years. The only drawback is that they don’t rise very high or get very fluffy. But what they’ve lacked in texture and appearance they’ve more than made up for in taste. So I’ve always figured they were good enough. But then a … Read more

Nothing says fall to me quite like caramel apples. They’re just so perfect in their simplicity. So when I was thinking of a perfect dessert to serve when my husband’s family came to dinner last week, my mind obviously went to caramel apples.

I have definitely been reclaiming my baking vibe over the past week or so. I guess that’s what happens when the cooler weather hits and I don’t mind having the oven on all day. I am trying to fit as much pre-baby baking in as possible now. I’m of the belief that I’ll still be … Read more

If there’s one thing I’ve learned about oatmeal cookies it’s that people are very loyal to one type or another – chewy or crunchy. And rarely do they cross over to the other side to enjoy the other kind. As for me, I really do enjoy both types, but if I had to choose just … Read more

This post is so opposite of yesterday’s post that was all about great cold meals for hot days. What can I say…we had a rainy day that meant we needed to have the air on. It also meant we were inside for most of that day. I just don’t mind having the oven on and … Read more

This recipe is a classic. I’ve seen it countless times over the past few years, and with good reason. It’s SO delicious, SO easy and SO refreshing on a hot summer day. I debated even posting it, but I figure if you’ve never seen it before, it’s new to you. And I’d hate to deprive … Read more

As many successes as I’ve had over the years with muffins, the perfect chocolate chip muffin recipe has always alluded me.
