My daughter and I LOVE cupcakes. When we lived in Rochester, New York, she and I would take study breaks from homeschooling and head to Sugar Mountain Bakery in Brighton to pick up a cupcake, or two. It was always such a fun treat or us. Once we moved to Michigan we could never find…

Biscoff Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches
*I received a free sample of Biscoff Lotus cookies from @Influenster and @Biscoff for review. I received no other compensation for this post and all opinions and ideas are my own and should be read as such. I had never tried Biscoff cookies before receiving the sample package from Influenster. I tasted them with my…
Waffle Bar: A Simple Fun Breakfast for Company or Holidays
Just before Christmas my daughter had a few friends over for a sleepover. For dinner we did a taco bar and for breakfast we made a waffle bar. It made it so much easier to feed several people with very different food preferences a meal that they would like by offering them choices without making…
Chocolate Peppermint Cupcakes
The two flavors that signal the beginning of the Christmas season to me are peppermint and chocolate. I love these two flavors individually and together! I was looking for something simple that could be made for holiday work parties, school parties or your Christmas buffet. These are so easy my children made them! Using a…
Peanut Butter Balls
A couple of days ago my daughter came out to the kitchen and looked around at all the cookies. “Are you going to make Peanut Butter Balls?” I hadn’t planned on it. I don’t care for peanut butter. It’s okay and I eat it maybe once or twice a month but my family is crazy…
Russian Tea Cakes (or Mexican Wedding Cakes or Snowballs or ….)
It seems hard to conceive that time is passing so quickly. There are only 14 days left until Christmas! Where has the month gone. We are still baking like crazy in our house. We are trying to fit it in among all the events that are happening this time of year. This Friday we have…

Grandma’s White Cookies
It was a Performing Arts weekend in our house. My son participated in his first Solo/Ensemble Festival in Michigan. He did a great job and scored a I (the highest level) and earned a blue ribbon medal. He was so very proud of himself. He was playing his piece and suddenly lost where he was…
Chocolate Meatball Cookies
This is a cookie from my childhood. I remember going to my grandmother’s house every Christmas Eve when we were young children. It was always the highlight of the year for me. I knew that the house would be filled with all the wonderful smells and foods that I loved. This was one of the…
Eggnog Cut Outs
Cut outs are like the quintessential Christmas cookies. I have so many different recipes for cut outs from my Grandma’s White Cookies which produce a puffy light cookie to Gingerbread cut outs that are crisp and fragrant. We all have different things we look for in cut outs. When I first thought about making these…
Toffee Butter Cookies
Yes, I am still feeding my family something other than cookies and candy during the holidays. Tuesday was Day of Giving. Chivos, a local pizza place, was offering large cheese, pepperoni or sausage pizzas for a minimum donation of $10 each for the first one hundred customers and all the donations went directly to The…
Salted Almond Toffee Brownies
What are the holidays without chocolate? Boring! I have always loved chocolate. Chocolate cake, chocolate cream pie, chocolates…. It never mattered to me if it was cheap chocolate or expensive chocolate as long as it was chocolate! Now that I am, shall we say, getting a bit older my tastes are changing a bit. I…
