I’m not much for candy making. It’s a precise science–and one that I’m not very fabulous at. But for peanut butter and chocolate, I make an exception. Being from Ohio, I have a special place in my heart for Buckeyes. Not only do I love some Ohio State football, but if I’m at a party […]

Banana Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Bread
Banana bread is always the way to go when the overripe fruit sits uneaten. In fact, I might confess to allowing bananas to turn brown just so I can have a great excuse to try a new banana bread recipe! :) Or I check Meijer’s discount produce rack that sometimes sells overripe bananas for $0.19/pound. I […]

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.
