Lemon Bars
We bought lemons at Costco recently which means I have lemons coming out my ears. In an effort to use some of them before they went bad I decided it was a good time to try making lemon bars. I’ve never really loved Lemon Meringue Pie because I feel like it’s too much lemon without…

Best Homemade Brownies

Tuesday we had a brownie bake-off at work so I decided to take these recipes I recently discovered. My best friend’s husband made these brownies when I visited and they were so good I had to ask for the recipe. I love brownies, but I feel like a lot of recipes end up overly sweet…

Oatmeal Scotchies

Second post of the week! As I mentioned on Tuesday, I’m trying to branch out and get ingredients I wouldn’t normally purchase. Butterscotch is one of those ingredients as I’ve never really been a fan but it’s fun trying new things and allows me to try new recipes so why not? I wasn’t quite sure…

Chocolate Espresso Cookies

Bonus posting this week! I’ve started buying random ingredients occasionally while I’m at the store and then just finding recipes to use those ingredients. Spoiler alert: Thursday’s posting also includes a random ingredient I don’t normally purchase so stay tuned. It’s been a fun experiment and that’s how I ended up buying espresso chips. Since…

Oat Crisp Chocolate Cookies (Havreflarn Med Choklad)
According to the internet fika “is a Swedish word meaning “to have coffee”, often accompanied with pastries, cookies or pie.” My boss is Swedish so I thought it would be fun to try a recipe from my Fika cookbook and bring them in for an authentic Fika. This recipe isn’t hard, but you’ll need to…

Date Nut Meringues

A friend made these fun cookies back in October and I’ll be honest, I was a little skeptic of how they would taste once she told me they were made with dates. I’m not a quitter though so I ate it anyway and I’m so glad I did. These cookies are amazing and taste like…

Kentucky Derby Pie
Happy Pi Day! In honor of this day we had to celebrate with some kind of pie so my husband made his famous chocolate chess pie (which I’m realizing I’ve never made on here before so I’ll try to remedy that soon) and I made Kentucky Derby Pie to take to my family. I’ve made…

Hello Dolly Cookies
A co-worker recently mentioned they always make Hello Dolly Cookies during Christmas using a recipe from their mom. I had never heard of those before and figured I’d give it a try since they look pretty delicious. I’m not a huge fan of coconut, but in moderation it’s okay; especially if there’s lot’s of chocolate…

Since it is officially flu season what better way to get back into a new year of baking with these Flu-Fighter Cookies? This recipe is really easy and combines a lot of interesting…
