Real mom, real kids, real meals.
Week 52!!!!! I made it! 52 different cookies! When I started this I definitely expected this year to look different (didn’t we all). I imagined myself baking and writing in a quiet house. 2020 had another idea. Reflecting back on it, I’m so glad I ended up baking all these cookies this year. It gave […]
If my husband goes to the grocery store he inevitably comes home with a bag of Pepperidge Farms, Tahoe cookies. I decided that he deserved a homemade version after being my number one taste tester all year long. Every week I send him the pictures I take for either a, “Looks great, babe” or a […]
A few weeks back I asked for some suggestions to finish this cookie journey and a friend suggested shortbread. I already sort of had it on my radar but that sealed the deal. I found this recipe on The Stay at Home Chef and it is great. It was really easy. I made it on […]
My oldest sent me a text in October with a link to a Tik Tok video of these cookies. I told him we could definitely give them a shot. This was the week. For this recipe you need 2 different types of sugar cookie dough. One regular with candy cane pieces and one chocolate sugar […]
Its officially Christmas cookie season. Believe it or not, I have never made these cookies.

Week 47!!! 5 more weeks to go! I can hardly believe it. This week I decided to start to do some holiday cookies. These cookies taste like the month between Thanksgiving to Christmas. My husband described them as addicting and I would agree. They have the perfect combination of tart and sweet and citrus. The […]
These cookies were the brain child of my daughter. I often ask my family for cookie ideas and a few weeks ago she suggested these. She had never had this combination in a cookie but just thought it would be delicious. She wasn’t wrong. A couple of tips. Kraft makes Caramel Bits. If you are […]
Need something to do with all that extra Halloween candy laying around? I’ve got just the thing, Kitchen Sink Cookies. I have seen some great ideas, like using the extras for gingerbread houses around Christmas and these cookies. I think when it is all said and done we are going to have more then enough […]
I love all things ginger. Ginger candy, ginger tea and don’t eat sushi with me without planning to give me all of your pickled ginger. I have been waiting for the right time to make these and this week was the right time. It has just started to get chilly here in PA and nothing […]
Need a fun Halloween themed cookie that’s easy to put together but will knock the socks off of all your little ghouls and goblins?? This one will do the trick (or treat)! I knew a few weeks back when I made Neapolitan Cookies that I wanted to modify the recipe and make Halloween themed cookies […]
