Snickerdoodle Cookies
This snickerdoodle cookies recipe creates the softest, fluffiest cookies you’ll love! Have you ever heard a 3 year old say “Snickerdoodle”? Apparently, it is the funniest word in the English language because when I made Snickerdoodles today and mentioned the name of the cookie to Kelly, she went off in a fit of giggles. Then…
I’m a Pepper, You’re a Pepper….
If you love Dr Pepper, you’ll loves these cupcakes! Wouldn’t you like to be a pepper too? Remember that Dr Pepper commercial from the late 70’s, early 80’s? Quite the catchy little tune, wasn’t it?

Please…no more cookies!
Our Santa decided several years ago that by this time in the holiday season, he is up to his ears with cookies. If he has to gobble down one more thumbprint, chocolate chip, shortbread, snickerdoodle, sugar cookie, etc. he’ll turn into a cookie himself. You see, Santa’s wife is a little obsessed with baking. She’s…
Is it really okay to eat Puppy Chow??
“Is it really okay to eat Puppy Chow?” This is a question my almost 5 year old son asks me anytime I make this delicious snack. He just can’t get over the fact that we are eating something named after dog food, and that looks like dog food too! I wish it bothered me more…
