Anniversary Week
It’s our anniversary week! Mitch and I have been married six years! So, to celebrate our anniversary, I’m making foods this week that have been very popular at one time or another during our past 8+ years together. And then I’m putting Mitch on the hot seat by giving him a hint and making him … Continue reading
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
If you are a strict seasonal eater, then pumpkin-based foods have probably moved on for you. Not for me. That’s because canned pumpkin is my obsession. Actually, I believe every person who grocery shops has a secret obsession with some grocery item. This is the item that you have an obscenely difficult time passing up. … Continue reading
Ginger Time Cookies
Cutting down the Christmas tree is a Mitchell family tradition, but this is the first year that I’ve ever done it…and it’s amazing! Basically you’re holding a tailgate party for your tree. Or maybe it’s better to think of it as a tailgate party for Christmas in general. So exciting. Baby Cupcake was totally in … Continue reading
Sweet potato chocolate chip cookies (flour free)
I mentioned Sweet Potato Chocolate Chip Cookies a couple of days ago, and surprisingly no one has been beating down my door to get the recipe. Shocking really.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Experiment
“Do I really need to refrigerate for an hour?” My sister Paige texted me this question while following my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe. I felt pretty strongly that she should refrigerate the dough for at least an hour…and really I wanted her to refrigerate it overnight if possible. I have no evidence except that it … Continue reading
Chocolate Peanut Butter Bliss Cookies (Step-by-step photos)

Let’s just say these cookies is what secured her place in the family. Though this photo is not the best, it still … Continue reading
The Hostess with the Mostess Cookies
I know this will come as a major shocker: I (Alicia)(the woman in love with baking cookies) am having trouble sticking with being wheat-free. What can I say? The jar of flour calls my name, and I respond! So, I’m having a hard time with wheat belly, but–in related news–I’m having a great time with … Continue reading

It’s officially a cookie weekend! I’ve mentioned this Sugar Cookie recipe a few times, and it’s here to stay. I LOVE this sugar cookie recipe because it’s super simple and super delicious…and perfect for cookie cutters. What makes this cookie so amazing? Is it that it’s the only cookie recipe that I have that uses … Continue reading
Oatmeal Cookies
I’ve missed baking so much these past few weeks, but I’m back, baby, with these Oatmeal Cookies. Oatmeal cookies are so delicious right away, and they also freeze well. “Freeze well” is such a blast from the past…it reminds me of my number one sales pitch as a girl scout selling cookies (I’d smile and … Continue reading
