White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cracker Cookies

These White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cracker Cookies check all the boxes — easy (no bake), delicious, and so festive! My mom has made these forever for any time of year. Mostly she uses chocolate almond bark — but this time of year, I like to use the vanilla (white) almond bark and Christmas sprinkles to […] Read more…

Peanut Butter Balls

The Christmas baking season is in full swing and these Peanut Butter Balls are a fairly new tradition — and happily so! — in our family.

Gingersnap Chocolate Chip Cookies

Apparently there has been a huge run on molasses (hello, holiday bakers!) in my town because up until today, all three grocery stores have been out of molasses for nearly the entire month of December. Finally Target restocked (insert praise hands!) and I could make my mom’s recipe for Gingersnap Chocolate Chip Cookies. I don’t […] Read more…

Apple Fritter Bread with Maple Glaze

Apple Fritter Bread with Maple Glaze

Good morning, friends! I’ve just finished my coffee and this amazing Apple Fritter Bread, which was a perfect start to this rather cold, dreary day in Minnesota.  It’s been a lovely weekend overall, I’d say. Yesterday I had the house almost to myself. Teacher Man was deer hunting (no luck, unfortunately), and Joe went to […] Read more…
