Real mom, real kids, real meals.
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. I don’t remember if I have mentioned it before, but my mom is an amazing cook, however she doesn’t love to bake.

My youngest has been asking me to make these cookies for awhile and I figured this week was the perfect time. We just finished our first week of virtual schooling and we all needed a pick me up, some in the form of double chocolate and m&m cookies and others in the form of double […]
Some weeks cookies just come to me, sometimes they don’t. This week I just could not decide on a cookie. Ask anyone I saw! I was constantly asking for ideas, especially after a few cocktails. We were with friends and I asked them. Our friend, Chris kept throwing out ideas and his wife and I […]
