My grandmother can’t remember where she found this recipe, but it was definitely on a box for something from a long time ago. At least while I was a child, she always made this as a frosting for angel food cake for my mother’s birthday. I think I probably enjoyed it more than my mom did, which [...]

Vanilla Pudding
I got the bug to make pudding from scratch this week after the husband bought some Jell-O pudding cups for his lunch. My favorite pudding is butterscotch, but I settled on vanilla because it seemed easier. (When trying new recipes, sometimes I have to play confidence games with myself.)
This was a messy experience, but overall [...]
Cookie Dough Truffles
Tastes like raw chocolate chip cookie dough, but without the raw eggs and dipped in dark chocolate. I think I’ll just leave it at that.

Everybody brings one dozen cookies for each person in attendance and then gets to go home with a dozen cookies from each person.

The recipe called for [...]
Pumpkin Whoopie Pies
As soon as I saw these Pumpkin Whoopie Pies posted on Just Eat It, I knew I Just Had To Make Them. Had to.
Still, these gems exceeded my expectations. My house smells like Pumpkin Paradise and I have two dozen* of these cake-like cookies filled with frosting. Pure fall bliss!
* The recipe states I should [...]
Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
I could tell you that I made these cookies so I could use up some of the oatmeal in my cupboard, but that would be a lie. I just wanted to make cookies. I followed this recipe from bakingsheet (now Baking Bites) after falling for the first line:
These are, hands down, the best oatmeal chocolate chip [...]
