Merry Christmas, friends! Since I can’t exactly send you all a Christmas card, I thought I would share it here 🙂 This year has been a doozie for my little family! Lots of crazy-awesome-ridiculous things happened in 2013 including: adding another member to our family, remodeling our kitchen and publishing my ebook all at the same time {!!!} while still somehow staying sane….I think.
We are so grateful for all you loyal readers. You are so supportive and make me want to keep blogging and developing recipes. I love talking with you all on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and all the other forms of social media I have. Keep those comments coming!

December 23, 2013 at 10:35 amSalted Nutella Peanut Butter thumbprint cookies = simply delicious and simple to make. I think baking these is partially why my boyfriend liked me so much early on. I guess it’s true when they say one way to a person’s heart is through their belly^^;

December 23, 2013 at 10:37 amIt is embarrassing how many of your recipes that I use all of the time. My all time favs are your pizza dough, the pumpkin blossoms (which I use without the food colouring to make snickerdoodles) and gingerdoodles.
