DIY Pumpkin Spice
If you are anything like me, you can never have enough pumpkin spice in the house. This is especially true in the fall and winter seasons. As soon as the temperature drops and the leaves start to fall I find myself in the mood for all things pumpkin spice. It’s a favorite flavor of mine, but it also makes the house smell amazing while you bake. I used to buy the little containers of it in the grocery store, but they didn’t last long at all. Let’s not forget they are expensive too! Let me show you how I make my own pumpkin spice with spices you probably already have in your pantry. It’s so easy you’ll never go back to buying the pre-made containers again!Read More »

How To Decorate Starfish Cookies
Beach themed cookies are my favorite to decorate, hands down. Yup, even more than Christmas! As soon as the weather starts getting warmer and spring is coming to an end, I get excited.

From summer to summer I may tweak the designs a little bit for creativity’s sake, but after many years of decorating, I never get tired of them.Read More »
Phenomenal Fudge Brownies
When it comes to brownies, I am team fudgy all the way! I probably wouldn’t turn a cakey brownie down, but if I could choose, I’d pick fudgy every time. There’s just something so appealing to me about a brownie that is chewy, rich and has a fudge-like consistency. I love chocolate and a good fudge brownie is probably my favorite way to eat it! The same can be said about my boys. They will clear out a pan of brownies in a snap! When I set out to come up with my own recipe my kiddos were all too willing to be my judges. I did some research and started from scratch to find the perfect combination of ingredients and methods. I did lots of baking, they did lots of tasting, and we all agree… this one’s a winner!

After all of those years, no sugar cookie has baked up so perfectly and deliciously as these. I promise, if you follow all of the steps, they will not dissapoint!Read More »
