    Candy Corn Cookies

    BOO! Did I scare you? Happy Halloween friends! Well, the day before, but all the same. I have been on a little bit of a hiatus because I started a new job and I am trying to get my new schedule figured out. Different hours, long hours, which is good. I an really enjoying the challenge, but it takes some time getting used it. I try to practice having patience with myself with getting back into my routines, but let’s be honest… I don’t really possess patience 😛 It was time for a move in my old job, not much room for growth and now I am with a company…

    Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

    Who doesn’t love a chocolate chip cookie? I haven’t met one person, What’s not to like? Chocolate, cookie, dough… I always remember being SO excited coming home to warm cookies on the counter. I was SUPER picky when I was little, so I was lucky enough to have a mom that would always leave out the chocolate chips of a couple of the cookies. Every now and again she still does it, even though I’m 30 😉 There is always the great debate on how a cookie texture should be. I am on the side of chewy gooey on the inside with a crispy crunch on the outside. I am…

    Mexican Chocolate Snickerdoodles

    Happy New year!!! (Keep with me on this post, I am going to be talking mainly life with some cookie pictures mixed in. Recipe is at the bottom if you don’t want to read this entirely too long rambling post) 2015… Whew, 2014 was CRAY CRAY… Seriously, crazy. But amazing crazy 🙂 I have been kind of MIA recently in pretty much all aspects of my life. I haven’t really been paying attention to the blog, or social media (as much as usual), I took some time off of work at the end of the year… I actually kind of feel like a fish out of water! For the longest…

    Peanut Butter Cookies {Gluten Free}

    I am sharing a Peanut Butter Cookie today. Do I have your attention? If you are anything like me, I definitely do. I love Peanut Butter more than I could possibly say. Literally, I think I could eat it out of the jar with a spoon…every.single.day. and be completely happy. When I was younger, my Mom used to babysit as her profession so she always got those huge 5lb drums of Peter Pan peanut butter that you get at Sams, BJs or Costco, because she was always feeding 10 kids peanut butter. Because, let’s be honest…most kids are picky but they love peanut butter. I used to take those huge…

    I Heart Cookies

    Gizzy is home!!! Thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers and kind words. I know they helped him. He was in the bunny hospital for 3 days. He is home now and has some meds he has to take and he has to take it easy, but he is home. Thank Goodness! You have no idea the amount of stress I was going through while he was at the vet. That constant unknown is horrible. Man o man. I am hoping for nothing but a healthy bunny for the rest of his healthy bunny life. I think it shaved a few years off my own life to…
