Pumpkin Butter Cookies (KETO/Low Carb Friendly)
Happy Fall!! I cannot believe it is almost October! To celebrate I made KETO friendly Pumpkin Butter Cookies and they are AMAZING! The perfect Fall cookie One of my biggest fears going on KETO was missing out on the sweets. To be honest I do not have a big sweet tooth but I do like a little something sweet here and there. A couple of friends suggested I make “fat bombs” immediately and I did and I love them (I will post a recipe for those soon) but the last few days I have been craving a cookie or cake…specifically pumpkin cookies or cake. Thankfully I adjusted a favorite recipe…

Pumpkin Sugar Cookies
September is in full swing and that means it is Pumpkin Spice Season…right? To celebrate everything pumpkin, I had to make these Pumpkin Sugar Cookies. They are my new favorite sugar cookie!! Not too much Pumpkin Ok I know that sometimes pumpkin spice can over power everything and become too much, but not in these cookies. There is just enough hint of spice, without being in your face pumpkin pie spice. If you wanted more spice you could add in an additional 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon to make them more like a pumpkin snickerdoodle. Grab a glass This cookie batter does not spread so it is important to press…

I’m in love with pumpkin and I L.O.V.E. dark chocolate even more and I love them together. I first had this combo last fall in a muffin, and it was so good I decided to run with it in a bundt cake. I love the spice and the chocolate together. The bitterness of the dark chocolate really helps to…

Fresh Peach Cobbler
Summer means peaches and that means cobbler. I am a big, BIG cobbler fan and I am always on the look out for a great cobbler recipe and I have found one that I LOVE! It is all about the peaches Being that I live in Texas we have some AMAZING peaches each summer. We are known for many things in Texas and Hill Country peaches are definately one of them. They are sweet, juicy and tender. Recently I had a good friend bring me back a box full of delicious Hill Country peaches and I couldn’t wait to break into them and make this cobbler. If you don’t have…

S’mores Brownies
S’mores are a must make for me each summer. Growing up we would have them every July 4th at my grandparents farm and I just fell in love with them, and even now as an adult I crave them when it gets hot outside. There is one problem though, I do not live on a farm and I don’t camp so to still enjoy a favorite treat I decided to make them into a brownie…yes S’mores Brownies! It’s all about the layers I just love the combo of graham cracker, chocolate and marshmallow. For these brownies it starts with the graham cracker crust…it is golden brown, buttery and…

Vanilla Shortbread Sugar Cookies
BEWARE!! There is a new favorite cookie in town… The Vanilla Shortbread Sugar Cookie. Not only is it delicious… it is SUPER easy!! It is all about the Vanilla Bean… Shortbread is a favorite but to really take it to the next level I used [Vanilla Bean Paste|https://amzn.to/2uTD77V ]. I use Vanilla Bean Paste in almost all my baking recipes but it is especially impactful in these cookies. Not only do you see the Vanilla Bean Seeds (which makes them look super special) but it also amps up the vanilla taste making them AMAZING! Now if you do not have [Vanilla Bean Paste|https://amzn.to/2uTD77V ] you can use a vanilla pod with vanilla…

Celebration Fudge Cake
A few weeks ago I took a little time away to my happy place. We fished, hung out and celebrated the 4th with some sweet friends and family. The fishing was the reason we were there but one of the major highlights was this cake. From the minute my godmother mentioned she “might” make it I stalked her until it was made…and it was so worth the wait (she made me wait 48 hours). A little confession… This is not the original cake my Godmother made. That cake was consumed at our 4th of July party before i could get pictures, so I HAD to remake it once I got…

Cream Cheese Sugar Cookies
Sugar cookies are one of my most favorite sweet treats. I love the thinner, crispier ones and the soft pillowy (lofthouse) style ones and I love the frosted version. Sugar cookies are the perfect treat for any occasion…these are a must make. Get Creative I beauty of these cookies is you can use whatever sprinkles you want or change the color of the icing to anything you want. You really can be as creative you want. For this go around I decided to use up all the left over sprinkles I had laying around. I have to be honest I loved the variety…a little something for everyone. Ohhhh the…
