Maybe I’m getting a little ahead of myself. Visions of ghosts, goblins, and costumed covered children…and I make a pumpkin pie. I guess it was just one of those things. I looked in my cupboard, thought it was a good idea, and made it. However, we had guests last night from a media ministry called {Read More…}
It’s that time of year. Mashing, spooking, and scaring seems to be the norm. So, why not incorporate fright into a cookie … a really yummy, marshmallowy, chocolaty cookie? Sounds like a deliciously spooky idea to me I must confess, yet again, that I have a small obsession with this stuff. I mean, there {Read More…}
I will start by recommending that you NOT make this recipe. Why, must you ask? Well, you won’t be able to stop. You’ll eat it all, or a very large portion of it because it’s SO GOOD. Then, when you look at the clock and realize that it’s 1:00am and you have to go to {Read More…}

Wow, what a weekend. First of all, I feel as if college is more like having two full-time jobs. Before this week, I had not baked in two weeks. Yes, two whole weeks. Two weeks of stressful study filled nights and class filled days. But, I made a promise to myself never to go that {Read More…}
After looking up the definition of cheese one day, I stumbled across this paragraph, “best when in the form of a ball, snuggled next to candy corn, and doused in chocolate.” I thought to myself, hmmph, that is quite interesting. Ok, so maybe I’m exaggerating a tad, but really, that’s how good this is. I’ve {Read More…}
I get inspired by things like this. Wonderful shapes of ordinary things such as these. Are you kidding me? Football oreos!! So I saw these in the checkout aisle in Walmart one day after I kind of flipped out at the lady in front of me who picked them up before I did. I {Read More…}
Don’t you dare judge me for this. I promise this will work out. This is kind of one of those breakthrough ideas, that ultimately….was not mine. (Which is quite sad due to the fact that it is sooo delicious). Let me tell you a story. One day, my family and I were dining at this {Read More…}
