Real mom, real kids, real meals.
What screams summer more then strawberries and cream?!? The cream in this instance is cream cheese and the strawberries are freeze dried, which makes them super easy to work with. These cookies come together quickly. The one trick is to let them cool completely before eating them, it allows the flavors to really come together […]
Another birthday, another birthday cookie!! This time it was my mom’s! I asked her what cookie she wanted for her birthday and she kind of left it up to me. I ultimately chose these Meringues with Chocolate Chunks. I thought these would be a fun celebratory cookie that you can eat a lot of without […]
When I was thinking about what to make this week, my husband suggested a German Chocolate Cookie and I was all about it. When researching, I realized there are two ways to go with this cookie. 1. Have all the components in the cookie dough or 2. Make a chocolate cookie and put the traditional […]
This week my dad turns 70!! He normally isn’t a birthday guy, but admits that 70 feels monumental. Maybe its entering a new decade or maybe it is the crazy world we are living in right now, but either way it is a big deal. I am grateful for him and the opportunity to celebrate! […]
Week 21!!! Crazy! I have been baking cookies in quarantine for 10 weeks! This week we all needed a little pick me up and these cookies were just the thing to do it. I don’t use peanut butter a ton in baked goods, but when I do I forget how much I like it. The […]

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 […]
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 […]
My family loves Oreos. They are pretty much a junk food staple in our house. I have only been grocery shopping when necessary during this pandemic, which has been about every week and a half when we are really out of everything. The Oreos were probably one of the first things to be eaten. I […]
