White Chocolate M&M Blondies to celebrate a great Flag Football Season
Today was Harrison's final game of the fall football season. I have to say that I am so tremendously proud of all the boys on the team. They won a few games during the regular season, and were able to make the playoffs. With their first game of the playoffs this morning, they faced off against a very good undefeated team. They played a really close game, and were leading at half time! But despite their best efforts, they ran out of time at the end, and lost 13-7. The boys played really well and in my opinion, had one of their best games of the season. I told Harrison on the car ride home that I was VERY, VERY proud of him and everyone on the team. He said, "But we lost." I said, "I know. But you guys worked really hard all season long. You listened to your coaches and tried Continue Reading...
Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Brownies
Brownies are something I really, really love! I love them with ice cream. I love them plain, or with frosting. I love them cakey or fudgy - basically any way they are made. I especially love them with extra stuff in the batter, like these Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Brownies. They are AMAZINGLY delicious, with Reese's Peanut Butter Cups in the fudgy batter, and a decadent chocolate, peanut butter cream cheese frosting. Super-rich, these are perfect with a glass of milk!

Pumpkin Spice Whoopie Pies
Have you ever made Whoopie Pies before? Up until yesterday, I had never made them. Over the weekend, Harrison and I were in Home Goods, where we came upon one of their clearance racks. There were several cookie sheets, pots and pans, and then I discovered a treasure: a whoopie pie pan!! AND, it was only $5!!! Needless to say, I clutched it to my chest, grabbed Harrison and made my way to the check out line. I did a little research to see if I needed to do anything different with a cake recipe to turn it into whoopie pies. I discovered that you don't really need to do anything different - so if you have a favorite cake recipe, you can turn it into these cute, yummy little snack cakes. How cool is that!?! First stop on the whoopie pie train: Pumpkin Spice!!! To me this was an Continue Reading...
