I’m a cookie fanatic. Really. There’s something wonderful about a small, snackable dessert – and even more so about this one. With whole wheat flour and healthy(er) oils, I feel better about making these for my family on a regular basis. These cookies are rich and decadent in spite of that, though, and you’ll never… Continue reading Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies

Springtime Strawberry Pie
We made a strawberry pie to take to church last week. It’s super simple but full of fresh flavor, and it’s even pretty good for you. Full of fresh flavor, this pie tastes like spring! We had a total of 45 minutes to get our church potluck offerings ready, and in that time we made… Continue reading Springtime Strawberry Pie
Simply Delicious Blueberry Pie
A few years ago, while visiting some of my husband’s family, we were served blueberry pie for dessert. Having never had blueberry pie before – or even a fresh blueberry – I wasn’t sure what to expect from this fruit-filled pie. I was happily surprised, however, to find that it was really good. It’s sweet and… Continue reading Simply Delicious Blueberry Pie
Pumpkin Bars with Cream Cheese Icing
My mom makes this really amazing pumpkin cake. It’s thick, moist, and rich, and it gets rave reviews everywhere. I generally dislike icing, too, but this cream cheese variety is yummy. It’s the only type of icing I want more of. But, like all tasty things, cake isn’t exactly good for you (though this one is full… Continue reading Pumpkin Bars with Cream Cheese Icing
Peanut Butter Dip
I made this peanutty dessert for a party a few weeks ago, and it was a hit! I found the recipe here, and I made very few changes. If you love peanut butter, this is for you! This is reminiscent of a cheese ball, so it feels like an appetizer, but because it’s so sweet and… Continue reading Peanut Butter Dip
Party-Perfect Cookie Cheesecakes
I love cheesecake – who doesn’t? The real thing takes a long time to make, however, and it can be very expensive with particular ingredients. That’s why this recipe is perfect – it’s less complicated and less expensive with the same great flavor. Simple to make, beautiful to serve, perfectly portioned, these cheesecakes make the very… Continue reading Party-Perfect Cookie Cheesecakes
Olympic Torch Cupcakes
We recently hosted the 2012 Water Olympics in our yard. It was a very fun event (more on that tomorrow) and called for a snack worthy of an Olympian. The kids and I decided to make these Olympic Torch Cupcakes. These cupcakes were lots of fun to make and very refreshing on a hot day.… Continue reading Olympic Torch Cupcakes
Old-Fashioned Sugar Cookies
My great-grandmother made the best sugar cookies. She usually topped them with a bit of white sugar, but sometimes she even added crushed pineapple. These cookies were family favorite and she always had a few on the sideboard, ready and waiting for unexpected company. Grandma gave me her recipe, but even though I made them… Continue reading Old-Fashioned Sugar Cookies
Meme’s Peanut Butter Fudge
My grandmother (of the Steal-good Pumpkin Bread) has been making and distributing this fudge at Christmas each year for as long as I can remember. She makes dozens of batches, cuts them in small pieces, and packages it into small tins. I knew that she considered me a ‘grown up’ when I got my own… Continue reading Meme’s Peanut Butter Fudge
Chocolate Waffle Cookies
I have a new favorite dessert. I recently came across this chocolate waffle cookie recipe during a Gooseberry Recipe Round-up, and it sounded great. Who wouldn’t love homemade cookies without having to wash numerous cookie sheets and heating up the oven – and therefore the whole house – during the hot summertime? Since today topped… Continue reading Chocolate Waffle Cookies
