My daughter is totally in to making (& eating) cookies lately and was asking for some the other day. Well, it was super hot and I totally didn't feel like turning on the oven so we made these Monster Cookie Energy Bites which taste like a cookie, but no baking required! These are fabulous little treats or a great snack! Would even be great for a party and could put lollipop sticks in them … Read More

Was so encouraged by this, especially entering back into schedules and back to school … Read More

So soft and moist and decadent. Unfortunately there is not one near where I live so when I get a craving, I make a copycat of my favorite Red Velvet (recipe here) and it's phenomenal. I came across this … Read More
