The New Year is just around the corner… 2012 is just about here, and it seems everyone is in the mood to reflect back on 2011 while there is still time. I’ve deliberated quite a bit about whether or not I wanted to write a “Best of 2011″ blog post this week. You see a lot…
I hope you’re not too sick of sweets after the holiday weekend… I’ve got a good one for you today! I have to sneak it in before the New Year, because I’m pretty sure it won’t help you with any of your resolutions (unless, of course, your resolution is to try some fabulous new flavors…
Christmas is just a few short days away. Hopefully by now you’ve baked most of your Christmas cookies, finished wrapping gifts, and made plans with friends and relatives. So, instead of writing a Friday Favorites post with some last minute recipe ideas, I decided to let Yellowdog take over today. She’s been dying to show…
Still looking for a last minute homemade gift idea? I’ve got you covered! Ever since I tried making these chocolate marshmallow bunnies from A Farmgirl’s Dabbles for Easter, I’ve wanted to make them again.

Christmas is just one week away! Are you ready? Well, to help you out a bit with your last minute shopping, I thought I’d host one more holiday giveaway! I was sent two copies of the Taste of Home Baking cookbook a few months ago… One for me to peruse (and bake from!), and one…
Have you finished all of your Christmas shopping yet? I think I may actually be done… I have a gift card or two to pick up at the store next week, but that doesn’t really count, right? It’s a good thing that I have my shopping done, because now I have lots of baking to…
Something about the holidays always gets me in a decorating mood. I love it all, from decorating the Christmas tree and the house to decorating cookies and cakes… But, as you might have guessed, I especially love the cookies and cakes! A few weeks ago, I shared my simple method and recipe for royal icing,…
This week, I’m focusing on recipes to help you along with your holiday baking… Baking really is the best part of the holidays, isn’t it? Yesterday I shared a favorite new cookie recipe with you. Today, I thought we’d talk about another sweet treat as a part of my baking series with Red Star Yeast……
The holidays just aren’t complete without some cookies. Don’t you agree? Anyone who reads my blog regularly knows that I love to bake… And, I especially love cookies.
