You know those houses you drive by this time of year and they’ve still got their Christmas decorations up? Well, I’m the blogger equivalent to that. It’s mid-January and most folks are looking for healthy recipes and don’t want anything to do with holiday…
It’s the last cookie from Cookie Baking Day 2012! How fast the holidays go by. My mom made these Mexican Wedding Cookies a few months back and they were so delicious, we decided to include them on the list. You know the Danish Wedding…
Happy New Year! I hope 2013 brings you smiles and lots of good eats! To ring in the new year with friends, I baked these Mini Champagne Cupcakes. I love a good boozy cupcake and thought the champagne twist would be perfect for a…
