Xangos (Mexican Cheesecake Chimichangas)
X is always a hard one during these Baking Through the Alphabet series but I found this while researching recipes and it intriguied me. I could not find the Philadelphia ready-made cheesecake filling the recipe called for, so I ended up making my own. It was delicious and I could have (and did) eat it…

S’mores Pie

Chocolate Peppermint Madelines
I decided it was time to break out the madeline pan again and this recipe looked fun and festive. This was a pretty easy recipe you basically whisk all of the dry ingredients together (ideally after sifting). Then you whip the eggs, sugar, vanilla, and peppermint together for about 8 minutes. You’ll fold in the…

Butter Pecan Cookies
Happy (Early) Thanksgiving! What better way to celebrate than with these Butter Pecan Cookies! There are a few steps here that aren’t in a standard cookie recipe but it’s worth it. First you’ll butter the pecans and that’s pretty easy (also makes the house smell amazing!). Next you’ll mix together all of the dry ingredients…
