Let’s get real for a second, okay? I am currently 8 days out from my CNSC exam and I am FREAKING. OUT. You know when you are studying so hard, doing well, and then you hit a wall. Like everything is going so smoothly and then BOOM. Done. Mushy brain + no focus + falling…
Confetti Chocolate Chip Cookies
I am obsessed with rainbow sprinkles. Ever since I was a kid, I made sure that my ice cream was liberally coated with the bright and colorful specks. But then I found out that you can BAKE WITH THEM. So I did. Rainbow sprinkles has been falling like confetti from the sky in my kitchen….
Chocolate Oreo Cookies
During graduate school, it snowed a lot. Like “a good couple of inches every week” a lot. And while I was cooped up in the house during early morning squalls, I baked… cookies, brownies, bread, cupcakes, etc. etc. etc. Whenever there was swirling white snow outside, there was swirls of flour in my kitchen. There…
Easy S’more Cookies
Guys, let’s talk football food. As I have said over and over again, I do not get football. I don’t understand the plays, the scoring rules, or the commentary. What I do know is that you cannot watch football without food. Lots and lots of amazing food! With the Superbowl coming up this Sunday (can you…
Stuffed Oatmeal Cookie Bars
We are slowly getting back to reality in my house. The Christmas tree is down. The garland is put away. The Christmas decorations have been carefully wrapped back up and placed in their proper storage containers in the attic. The pantry is full of our go-to pantry staples (canned beans, pasta, canned tomatoes, brown rice)…

Chocolate Peppermint Bark Cookies
Holiday cookies are my jam. Gingerbread, sugar cookie, molasses crackle, peanut butter kiss… I probably love the holiday cookie tray more than the Big Man himself. While I am obsessed with our traditional favorites, this year I wanted to make something a bit different for Santa’s cookie plate. As I was rooting through my pantry…
Lazy Girl Gingerbread Cookies
I LOVE gingerbread cookies. But not traditional gingerbread cookies. (it’s a bit confusing…) As I have said before on the blog, I had an interesting experience with gingerbread when I was young. At a holiday party, I got so excited when I saw a platter of decorated cookies. Being a small kid with no self-restraint,…
Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies
When Instagram pictures kept being posted for recipes for whole wheat chocolate chip cookies (or CCC), I was intrigued. Captions and comments stated that they were “the best ever”, “so much tastier than traditional”, and “WHOLE GRAINS!”. So I had to try them. And yes, they are pretty tasty! The whole wheat flour gives the…
Salty-N-Sweet Oatmeal Cookies
Confession. I am super duper excited about this cookie recipe. Like “watching my grandfather wheeling in my first bike” excited. Like “having my parents tell us that we were FINALLY getting a cat” excited. Like “OMG I got matched to an internship” excited. What about this cookie recipe makes my heart leap for joy? The…
