The holiday season might be gone, but this was a pre-Christmas baking event, so deal with it.
We had my niece, Ava, over for an all-day baking extravaganza. We made peanut butter kiss cookies, glitter balls, peppermint bark (that failed), and these. Continue reading
One of my most loyal (and cookie-excitable) followers from work had a birthday last week, so I obviously had to bake something for her.

The sun is out, the birds are chirping, and it’s the perfect time for Springtime treats. Not today.

Queen B says, “You wanna hot body?…You betta work bitch.” She’s right. I have to get back to baking and blogging. To help with that whole hot body thing, I chose this for today:
What makes these healthier than normal cookies? To start, there’s wheat germ. Don’t be afraid. Keep reading.
