Following directions is something I have never been real good at. I admit that. Sometimes I am stubborn and I think I know better. Other times, I just fail to completely follow the directions. In fact, just a few days before making these cookies, I was telling my dad that one of my most memorable…
This has been one of the first weeks in quite a while that my hubby and I didn’t have something on the schedule every single night of the week. And, it’s been great. Because I’ve had some down time in the evenings, I’ve also been spending more time in the kitchen during the day. That’s…
I am really loving the fact that chilly weather is here. I’ve finally had the chance to pull out a few sweaters from my closet. I love wearing boots. And, of course, you can’t beat a nice hot latte in the afternoon. As you might expect, I’ve really been focusing on chilly weather recipes lately….
You never know when inspiration will strike… Over the weekend, a few of my hubby’s out-of-state friends came to stay with us for a few days. They have been hanging out and playing a lot of Xbox. Since they hadn’t been to Hershey before, though, we decided that we had to take them to Hershey’s Chocolate…
If you’re much like me, you’ve probably rushed around to finish all of your shopping and get the gifts wrapped so that you have next week to focus on food. Granted, I do make a lot of homemade gifts, so I don’t have ALL of my gifts done. But, I would much rather spend the week before Christmas in my kitchen listening to Christmas music while I cook and bake. It sure beats pushing your way through the super-crowded stores looking for last minute gifts! I suppose that it’s also a good time to clean the house if you have guests coming, but we won’t talk much about that.
Since I spent last week introducing you to more cookies than you could ever possibly bake during one holiday season (that’s a challenge… I dare you!), I thought it would good to focus this week’s Friday Favorites post on holiday entertaning! After all, we can’t live on cookies alone (or can we?).
Last week when I was preparing my chocolate covered pretzels for the bake sale, I opened the bag of pretzels that I had purchased to discover that it had more pieces than entire pretzels. That’s how it always works… If I had needed pieces, there would have been a whole bag of pristine whole pretzels. I…
Some people like cakey brownies… I am not one of those people. If you are one of those people, these brownies aren’t for you. I’ve never been completely happy with my from scratch brownie recipes. I have tried a few, and they never turn out quite as ooey-gooey and fudgy as I would like them…
I had a bag of Hershey’s Heath Bits ‘O Brickle Toffee Bits in my pantry that were just begging to be used. I adapted this cookie recipe from the recipe on the bag! I enjoy creating recipes from scratch… However, sometimes it is nice to start with another recipe and go from there. I have…
