Brown Butter Caramel Snickers Cookie Bars (Vegan)
Hey, Hey, HEY! I’ve got something to help you guys get over the mid-week slump so obviously that means chocolate is involved! Oh, and guess what? We got new puppies last weekend! I want to share some pics later this week so I was going to wait to tell you, but I just couldn’t. They are absolutely adorables you guys! You may remember me mentioning a while back when we got our first two Great Pyrenees pups. No? Well, if not then now you know and I guess it has been a long time now. Whoa, actually now that I think about it it’s been a year and a half! Those two boys…

No-Churn Samoas Cookie Caramel Ice Cream (Vegan)
Are there any samoas fans in the house? Because I’ve got a life-changer for you guys! So confession, I never really wanted to be girl scout. I mean, a ballerina, yes! A gymnast, for about five minutes until I realized being able to do the splits would probably a requirement. Oh, and I dreamed of being a tester for a toy company every time I watched Tom Hanks battle it out with silly string and dance chopsticks on FAO Schwarz giant piano (come on, you know you did that too). In fact, I didn’t ever consider a girl scout being something that I could be. I kind of remember thinking that the girl scouts on…

Chocolate Covered Caramel Cookie Dough Pretzel Cups
Do you guys know what’s better than cookie dough……………? If you’re thinking “Um, NOTHING, duh!”, well, that’s completely right, but cookie dough covered in chocolate is also the right answer! True stuff. Growing up in my house would not have been the same without Mom’s amazing chocolate chip cookies. Of course, the excitement we’d have when we heard the mixer going wasn’t as much about the cookies as it was about getting to be her poison-checkers. We were all privileged enough to know that the dough is where it’s at. I’d take the dough over the cookies every time. I’m obsessed! So these cookie dough bites, I created them as an alternate flavor to…

Inside-Out Twix Cookies
Is it really Friday already? Wowzers! Well, we’ve all obviously survived the first month of the year, but clearly I’m late to the January health-fads party. Sorry, my mind is still stuck in holiday baking. Not that it makes it any better, but this is actually the run-off of my enthusiasm for baking during the holidays (plus every other time of year too if we’re gonna be honest here). I just didn’t have time to share everything that I made in December. But I’ll be posting the more diet-friendly things soon, for reals. You know what I’m thinking these would be perfect for?….uh huh, Superbowl 2016! Oh wait, I don’t even like football…but I’m all…

Caramel Fluffernutter Chocolate Chip Cookies
I totally Jack Sparrowed it on you guys with this one…….. And by that I mean, I was just making it up as I went. Like, I literally hadn’t decided if these were going to be cookies, brownies, doughnuts, or something entirely different when I first started on them. Then I somehow ended up with these lovlies, and that’s not bragging. It’s a commonly known fact that every cookie is gorgeous, but you knew that already, right? Ha, what am I saying, of course you did! If you aren’t familiar with the name fluffernutter then let me clue you in. Fluffernutters are a famous sandwich made with the magical combination of marshmallow and…

Butterbeer Ice Cream Floats with Coconut Caramel Ice Cream (Vegan+GF)
Okay, you got me. Yep, I’m a Potter fan. Once upon a time, I enjoyed reading books. Of course, that was when I had tons of free time. These days, the thought of sitting down to a good book for hours and hours is a dim fantasy, and yet somehow it’s not as appealing as it used to be. I don’t think I could concentrate that long anymore, but there was a time when I could, and one of my favoreites was the Harry Potter series. What is it about that those books that’s so captivating when your young? I loved the way Rowling connected everything at the end and how she kept the…
