Food, Wine, Family. Fun!
It's finally feeling like fall here in Southeastern PA and I'm so ready to go apple picking, carve pumpkins and wrap myself if fuzzy blankets. I had a couple apples that I needed to use and an entire jug of maple syrup waiting for me, so I whipped up a batch of these delicious treats.… Continue reading Maple Glazed Apple Blondies
I feel like all I've been making is dessert bars lately. It's been very hot and humid here in PA and bars are pretty quick and easy to make ... plus they don't take long to bake, so I'm not heating up my kitchen for very long. I promise I have some new recipes coming… Continue reading Strawberry Lemon Blondies
As I begin to reflect on the last 10 years of blogging, it's crazy how many recipes I've made and shared with you all. I decide as part of my celebration, I would go back to some of my original recipes and make them again. I forgot how amazing these s'mores cookie bars are! They… Continue reading S’mores Cookie Bars
Blueberries are just starting to be in-season and I can't wait to make more recipes with blueberries. I picked up a pint of fresh berries from a local farm stand and they were delicious.

I knew I had to find a quick and easy… Continue reading Chocolate Chunk Banana Bars
I was in the mood to do some baking and wanted to use up what I had in my house. I had bought some apples at the grocery store the other week and it was a mistake. They weren't crisp and a little mealy....so not great for eating. I decided I would use them to… Continue reading Apple Crisp Bars
I bought two avocados last week and hoped they would have been ripe to eat before I started a 3-day juice cleanse, but of course they weren't ready. I was looking for recipes to use them up since I knew no one else in my family would eat them. I found this recipe for brownies… Continue reading Fudgy Avocado Brownies
I had some leftover mini bags of pretzels from Halloween and wanted to use them up before they got stale. I found this quick and easy recipe for no bake peanut butter pretzel bars and whipped them up last night. My son helped me make them and enjoyed pouring the pretzel "sugar" into the mixture.… Continue reading No Bake Peanut Butter Pretzel Bars
Everyone loves a gooey brownie and add in some red wine and you have an even more amazing dessert! They're perfect to wrap up #Choctoberfest! These brownies have a crunchy top but are super moist and rich. I had a bottle of leftover wine from dinner the other night and decided to add a little… Continue reading Red Wine Brownies
It's time to Fill the Cookie Jar with all things pumpkin! I knew I couldn't miss this month because I love pumpkin and it's been awhile since I baked something delicious. These oat squares are packed full of pumpkin, peanut butter and chocolate chips. My husband loved them and I'll need to hide the rest… Continue reading Pumpkin Peanut Butter Oat Squares – #FilltheCookieJar
