Strawberries with Sour Cream and Brown Sugar
It’s been awhile…a long while. I’ve missed this space. Work, and life, and volunteering, and work, and life, and well, you get the picture. All of it stole my attention, broke me out of my routine, and kept me from sharing with all of you. As Macklemore says though, “You know I’m back, like I […]
Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins
You know how it goes, you buy a couple of bananas and everyone in the house fights over them because they have decided that bananas are their new favorite fruit. The next time you go to the store, you purchase quadruple the number of bananas and low and behold, nobody will eat them. Why?!?!? Why […]
Snow Cream

Award-Winning Butterscotch, White Chocolate, Pretzel Cookies

Everyone’s Favorite Brownies

These brownies are AMAZING! I’m talking, uh oh, I just ate half the pan AMAZING! They are fudgey, dense, chocolatey deliciousness. If I was stranded […]
Crispy Crunchy Cookies
After having a few glorious days of sunshine the rain has returned to the Pacific Northwest. What do I like to do more than anything when it rains? Bake! Not particularly friendly to the waistline but oh so good for the soul. This cookie recipe has been in my family for years. My great-grandma passed […]
