I don’t often make peanut butter cookies at home. Don’t get me wrong, I love them to the ends of the earth. But my incredibly British husband didn’t grow up with peanut butter, and finds the taste off-putting. I know. I don’t know how I married him either, but it turns out he’s a pretty …

Maple Bourbon Balls really pack a punch. They’re fantastic little bites of bliss, great for serving at your next party, shower, or barbecue! Do you know what I love about being Southern? We can party. It may seem like we’re all proper and mannerly, but when it comes to celebrating, I personally think the South …

Candy Corn White Chocolate Blondies use Hershey’s seasonal treat to make them special. Every bite is something special. Oh, Target. Whenever any holiday approaches, from 4th of July to Thanksgiving, Target becomes a dangerous place for me to be. I just can’t resist the seasonal stuff. Be it in the dollar aisle or the seasonal …

Mocha Malt Shakes are the answer to any malt lover’s craving. In our house, these are a new favorite. There’s not a thing with malt in it that my husband doesn’t love. From beer to Vimto, a sort of concentrated liquid Kool-Aid made from real juice (and found only in England and India), if it’s …

Caramel Apple Pie is luscious and perfect for your holiday table. You will adore all that extra caramel! Okay, so it’s not really the “season” for caramel apple pie, but I’m never one to let the season stop me when I’ve got a craving. There’s still plenty of great apples popping up at my local …

These Oatmeal Almond Chocolate Chip Cookies are a quandary for me. I dreamt up the recipe one day and decided to just bake it up without looking at any other recipes in books or online. Once I’d made the dough, which I felt was pretty standard in texture and tasted good too (yes, I taste …

S’mores French toast is a crazy decadent way to start your weekend. Luckily, it’s also crazy easy. Golden Grahams is easily in my top 3 cereals of all time. Right up there with Pops and Cookie Crisp. In fact, I just had to stop writing and go have a bowl, that’s how much I love …

Strawberry Lemon Cupcakes are light and sweet, and full of tart lemon flavor. The strawberry buttercream is impossible to resist. I feel sorry for winter babies. Being one myself, I know the envy that is birthday pool parties, slip and slides and barbecue parties, or, well, pretty much any outdoor party you can think of. …
