This recipe for Chocolate Stained Glass couldn’t be easier. I’ve seen this confection also called Church Windows or Cathedral Windows Candy, Marshmallow Yule Log, or simply Stained Glass Candy. But is this considered a dessert? A cookie? Candy? I’ll let you decide! Disclaimer: The links below may be affiliate links. If you purchase any products […]

Scotcharoos (peanut butter crispie treats)
The last time we had to make treats for church, I wanted to make Scotcharoos. I debated whether or not I would write up the recipe. But then I needed to look up the recipe, because it had been long enough I wasn’t sure I remembered correctly. I should have remembered as this is a […]
Fool’s Toffee (aka Christmas Crack)
Are you starting to panic about what to get everyone for Christmas? I have some suggestions for you! I don’t consider myself a fast knitter, but I can usually make a hat or headband in under two hours.

Cream Cheese Cutout Cookies
I know, I’m addicted to alliteration, but honestly, I didn’t plan that in naming these cookies. It is what they are called! 🙂 In my opinion, these make the BEST cut-out cookies you could ask for. Not difficult to mix and easy to roll out! The only bad part about these cookies? Their addictive qualities. […]
Pineapple Upside-Down Cake
I’ve learned in the past year or so that I am Sugar Addict. Not something I’m proud of. I tried once before to give up sugar and failed, but one of my goals this year was to try again. I want to at least cut down the amount of sugar ingested, because let’s face it […]
Homemade Twix bars
Remember the old adage “What do you do when life gives you lemons? You make lemonade!” Well, that happened this last week. I started my annual Christmas homemade caramels baking only to have them come out super-soft. So soft that they were sticking to the parchment paper and difficult to get off. I just didn’t get it. I’ve […]

Churro ice cream bowls
This week you get a 2-fer in the recipe department. Because on the same day that we spotted the video for the salt-encrusted beef tenderloin, we saw another one for Churro Ice Cream Bowls. I have to confess, I don’t believe I have ever had a real churro in my life. But something that looks […]
