I was a school lunch packer all of my days, and the tradition continues. If it’s nice out we pack lunches for the park; if we’re extending errands then there are packed snacks and water bottles. It’s a money saver, it’s better for our bodies, and it’s green. Back in the day (talking 20 years...
Look, cake is bad for you. If I want cake, I don’t want it made with egg whites and honey. I want CAKE. Buttery, chocolaty, fluffy, grin-inspiring cake.
What do I bake the most? These cookies. These exact cookies. They are a general crowd pleaser and can be ready to go in the oven in the time it takes your oven to preheat. These have been on my site for years but deserve a re-do with careful explanations and this is why…

The chocolate sauce on top makes it look pretty and envelopes the whole she-bang with chocolate. This was super easy to put together and would make a wonderful dessert as the weather gets warmer....
These cookies will always be “Duie’s” in my mind. Duie is my friend Bri’s husband and he once asked her to make a cookie from his childhood (minus the recipe). She commissioned me on the quest and armed with her description, I did my best. On her husband’s birthday, he enjoyed a cookie from...
At the high school where I worked we had filing cabinets full of hundreds of recipes – literally, like 800. One day I stumbled across a pineapple upside down cake. I didn’t have pineapple, but I DID have some apples. I have it a whirl and the results were so good, I had the...
You may have noticed but right before Christmas my site crashed again. Apparently the theme is outdated and it will continue to crash until I update the theme, which I do not know how to do. Awesome. While the site was down, I received many texts alerting me to the issue and also begging...
