Cinnamon Chip Oatmeal Blondies

Posted on June 8, 2015

Chewy gooey blondies loaded with sweet cinnamon chips. Until this, I hadn't made Blondies since L was born. Which is a shame. Because 1) blondies are really my thing and 2) they are pretty much the easiest way to bake for a crowd. After churning out hundreds and thousands of them for a couple of…

Keep It Sweet Desserts Weekly Wrap-up 6/6/15 +Giveaway

Posted on June 6, 2015

It’s the weekend! Was this the longest week ever or is it just me? I think because last Sunday was such a rough day (that was the nail cutting event) I didn’t feel refreshed from the weekend. Never mind that, though, because we made it to Saturday. We have a low-ish key weekend with a…

Real life. Some weeks are harder than others. I try really hard not to complain about L because generally, he is a pretty easy baby. I’m knocking on wood as I type this, but it’s true. We’ve been so lucky with him. But you know what? Some weeks, no matter how “perfect” your child is,…

This no-bake ice cream pie is the ultimate summer dessert! Oreo crust, peanut butter ripple ice cream, tons of peanut butter cups and whipped cream!

Peanut Butter Ripple Chocolate Ice Cream

Posted on May 26, 2015

You don’t need an ice cream maker to make this ice cream! Rich chocolate ice cream with a ribbon of salty peanut butter. If you love chocolate and peanut butter as much as I do, you’ve no doubt had a variation of this ice cream flavor before. I know, not as creative as this recipe…

Florida already feels like it was forever ago, but despite some mild post-vacation blues, this week turned out to be a good one. I kept busy with L… or I should say, he kept me busy! We went to Florida with a 6+ month old baby and returned with a completely different 7 month old.…

Family Vacation and Tips on Travelling with a Baby We had the BEST time in Florida last week. It was our second time flying with L (last time at 5 months, this time at 7 months) and luckily he did well again. This trip was so wonderful for a lot of reasons. We started off…

Five desserts full of berries and bright colors for your unofficial summer kick-off! We got back from the best vacation yesterday and I can’t wait to share some pictures of all the fun we had. Going away has always been a treat, but it was so much more fun with L! Even though it is…

Thin Mint Ice Cream

Posted on May 12, 2015

Creamy no-churn ice cream full of huge Thin Mint cookie chunks. Recently I found myself in a disappointing situation. The ice cream selection in my freezer was boring the heck out of me. To remedy the situation I decided to take matters into my own hands and make some no churn ice cream. You all…

Sorry for the slower pace of recipes lately… that’s just how life is these days. However, I have a few ice cream recipes coming down the line and some baked goods I want to test out. Matt also was astounded at our lack of cookie inventory (except for a few lactation cookies), so as soon…
