aka: chunky oatmeal chocolate chip cookies This recipe is fanTASTIC! My husband absolutely loved them (which is saying something because he loves all my cookies and gets to eat them quite frequently. But he really raved over these!) They’re the perfect everything–hearty, crisp, chewy, sweet, unexpected. The old fashioned oats add a great texture […]
Whole Grain Granola Bars
If you’re looking for a hearty, healthy granola bar then look no further. Though I had to be all “Melanie” about it and mess with the original recipe, these are still “yum!” If you’re looking for a candy-bar-esque granola bar this probably definitely isn’t your thing. In fact, because I went all creative with the recipe […]
Fruit Pizza
also known as “gigantic sugar cookie with cream cheese frosting and fruit ornamentation.” We were having one of our teen’s families over to dinner after church. It was going to be casual–burgers, salad, potato wedges (though I had to do homemade burger patties, and homemade buns, and homemade potato wedges). I asked our guest of honor for […]
Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream
I have been putting off posting this beautiful recipe because it lacked a photo. But I can’t keep it from you any longer. July was National Ice Cream month, but there is NO limiting the gloriousness of ice cream to one month. Share the love! And enjoy a cup or two of this peanut butter […]
Vanilla Ice Cream
My one word of advice to myself: don’t skimp on quality ingredients. When you have so few components and the main flavor is vanilla then by all means use REAL vanilla extract. And maybe splurge for a whole vanilla bean. But that’s for another recipe. This perfectly simple vanilla ice cream recipe comes to me from the Cuisinart Ice […]
No Bake Cookies
No Bake Cookies: Revisited. I can’t believe I don’t make these little gems more often. They are incredibly simple. so fast. so delicious. Assuming, of course, that you love chocolate and peanut butter. Which I do. I had to do some editing to this recipe from the original format. First, I doubled the ingredients–because who […]
Homemade Popcorn
I love me some popcorn. Always have, always will. I think I’ll blame my love for popcorn on my dad. He has popped a bag of Act II almost every night for as long as I can remember. I know it’s a healthy snack–if done right. And “butter lovers” probably isn’t the best option. I’ve […]
I will be back so soon…

To Make and Bake::Link Love 2.4
How lame am I? I almost feel like a homemaker hypocrite. For emphasizing all the homemade goodness, but then going out and buying a HUGE box of ActII Butter Microwave Popcorn from Sam’s Club? And enjoying every last kernel. Ok, so I could possibly blame it on my upbringing. I was conditioned to love the […]
To Do List: Link Love 2.5
I think I might as well just copy every post of Annie’s from this last week. She’s brilliant. And always seems to know exactly what I want to make. Like these Turkey Burgers (YUM!) or this Berry Crostata (beautiful!) or this Strawberry Ice Cream–the last in her July Ice Cream Month Series (sad day, but so, […]
