Vegan Sprankle Blondies

I bet these blondies will make up for the time you used up the rest of your neighbor’s laundry soap, and when you wrote “donuts” instead of “donate” on the bring-your-own-bag raffle slip at Trader Joe’s, or when you picked napping over cleaning and drinking beers instead of water or when you didn’t do the dishes for 4 days. And by you, I mean me, and by blondies I mean one big cookie. So whip these…

S’mores Hot Cocoa

This weekend needed a little bit of hot cocoa. Most of it was so great! But sometimes when your pup pee-walks over your shoe and then poops in your car the only thing to do is drink hot cocoa by your borrowed pink christmas tree with your new magazine and just muster up a mental fireplace to complete the picture. But mostly you guys… graham cracker honey marshmallows?! These s’mores-ify the heck out of this super…

World Peace Cookies

It’s November, and in my heart it was just summer. Because you see I learned a lot over the last few months. Like if you swim in a pool and don’t have time to wash your hair before work, bright lipstick will totes distract from the flipped out Dr. Seuss hairdo (hair-don’t). And did you know you can get a Dairy Queen blizzard in a waffle cone? And it was even more than a few months…

Chocolate North Pole Cake

While in my heart, I’m totes kinda grinchy, in my baked goods I’m totally Elf. I mean, the other day when I was eating waffles for dinner I totally thought that I might like maple syrup as much as that dude. (What am I saying?!) Anyhow, this cake is easy-breezy! A perfect Tuesday afternoon cake. So I totally recommend whipping this up to take to your boyfriend’s mom’s house or to your BFF’s aunt’s house…

Dark Chocolate Oreo Blizzard Ice Cream

If I had a nickel for how every time I put a heart in a post, I’d have many nickels. I might be equally nickel-rich if applied to frozen chocolate. What can I say? I love love AND chocolate. Truth. This is that kind of chocolate ice cream that makes you swear there’s coffee in it, but there’s not. It’s also creamy and dreamy and filled with Oreos… I mean Joe-Joe’s. I’m the type of…

Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel Pops

I’ve got you guys covered. You see, I totally understand that post dinner emergency where you need something sweet, and you end up eating a handful of chocolate chips. (You guys do that too, right?) The last of your frozen cookies are gone and the fudgesicles are but a memory. You just need one bite of chocolate to get you through the evening, and that’s where these pops come in. They’re inspired by salty-sweet livin’,…

Mrs. Fields Cookies (revisited)

When it comes to the weekend I require big breakfasts, naps galore, and freshly baked cookies. So to ensure the cookie part of my weekend, I whipped up this dough Friday after work and popped it in the fridge for casual Saturday baking. Feel free to do the same to bake at your leisure! And these cookies are by far one of my very favorites. There is plenty of ground oatmeal in each bite, giving them…

Lemon & Gingerbread S’mores

I guess I just want to make everything into either a s’more or a waffle. So, of course, after Cindy made that dreamy cake involving lemon marshmallow frosting on gingerbread, I was all, “Hell yeah, girl, I want to make the s’mores remix of that!” And so here you go: My favorite gingerbread cookies with some whole wheat flour up in there for a more graham-esque quality. Along with lemon zesty vanilla bean-y marshmallows. A…

Chocolate Orange Brioche Knots

This brioche is delicious, but in the process of making it my mixer broke! Currently, my beloved Kitchenaide is sitting in pieces in the spare room, on the desk I never sit at, while I wait for parts to arrive in the mail. I’m crossing my fingers that it’ll be up in running in 3-5 business days. It all started when I used the paddle attachment for this here buttery yeast dough. T’was too much!…

Coffee S’mores Pie {no bake}

This is one of those desserts where you take one bite and want to shout about it’s goodness to everyone near! But only your pup is near! So you tell him even though he can’t have chocolate so he can’t get thaaaaaaaaat excited. It’s one of those tasty treats that you almost eat in the car on your way to give it to someone. It’s the kind you bring into work to share, and eat…
