Real mom, real kids, real meals.
For those of you that don’t know me in real life, my husband is in the restaurant business, specifically Mexican restaurants. They use Cinnamon Toast Crunch in an ice cream at the restaurants, so I decided to try it in a cookie. Who doesn’t love Cinnamon Toast Crunch?? I ate handfuls while making these and […]
No flour, no problem…these cookies are here to save your sweet tooth. We are not gluten free but one thing that we always have in the house are gluten free pretzels. My kids actually prefer them to the regular gluten filled ones. They have a crisp texture that we all love. An added bonus, is […]
This week I had some icky looking over ripe bananas on the counter and instead of making muffins AGAIN, I decided to try to make a banana chocolate chip cookie. My kids actually decided to call these “mookies” because the texture is sort of similar to a muffin. We ate them for dessert after dinner […]
Hi!!!! I am a bit behind on my blogging. I like to get my cookie post written mid-week, but with everyone home it has not been easy. I think, just get it done after they are in bed, but honestly I am so mentally drained by that point that I just can’t do it. I […]

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! With this new homebound schedule of ours I nearly forgot all about it. Luckily, these Irish Butter cookies are around to remind me! Using the Kerry Gold Irish Butter gives these cookies an amazing rich flavor that regular butter just wouldn’t. The butter is grass fed and that gives it a […]
I made these cookies for a school bake sale. I wanted something fun and I thought the kids would love them. I’m not sure who loved them more though me or my kids. These made me want to put sprinkles in everything! I found this recipe on Sally’s Baking Addiction. If you haven’t checked out […]

My friend sent me this recipe, from Bon Appetit Magazine, with the message that she thought they would be good for this cookie adventure. Well, I’ll tell you what, she wasn’t wrong!! They are amazingly […]
