Salted Brownie Cookies
Salted Brownie Cookies are everything you need in a cookie that you didn’t even know you needed. Brownies + Cookies = Everything Salted Brownie Cookies are everything you love about brownies but packaged in a cute little cookie.

Sprinkle of Salt The shiny shell is not the only thing that makes these cookies something to…

Air Fryer Chicken – Your Go-To Chicken
Do you have an Air Fryer yet? I mean everywhere I look I am seeing new recipes, new tips and tricks & people raving about their air fryer. I resisted on getting one as I just didn’t want another small appliance taking up space, but then I started seeing everyone rave about the Air Fryer Instant Pot Lid. And let me tell you, I am so glad I did. Better than store bought… The beauty of making a rotisserie style chicken at home is that you can season it just how you want. You could use lemon pepper, or cajun, or just salt & pepper. This time around I used…

Cinnamon Roll Bites – Your New Go-To Breakfast
Cinnamon Roll Bites are the perfect Christmas morning breakfast. They are quick, easy and bring the wonderful aroma of homemade cinnamon rolls (like these) without all the work. It all starts with Biscuits… These delicious cinnamon roll bites start with canned biscuits. Yep, you read that right… canned biscuits.

Classic Iced Sugar Cookies
These Classic Iced Sugar Cookies are a MUST MAKE this Holiday Season. They are super tender, topped with a delicious icing with hints of vanilla bean in each bite and fun sprinkles. A perfect Holiday treat. No rolling here One of the things that annoys me about sugar cookies is having to roll them out. Rolling pins and I don’t have the best relationship. I tend to roll things too thin, or not thin enough…it just never seems to be right. With these cookies though there is no rolling…that is one of the reasons why I love these cookies. I also love how tender they are. Not so fragile they…

A little bit for Everyone For me a good chocolate chip cookie is a little crispy on the edges, soft in the center and loaded with tons of chocolatey goodness. My families favorite chocolate chip cookies are these, but let me tell you after they have these cookies they might just change their minds. Not only are these cookies crispy and soft but they are also loaded with tons of yummy. First I used semi-sweet chocolate chunks and then I threw…

Cranberry Shortbread Bars – A Holiday Treat
Cranberry Shortbread Bars are the perfect Holiday treat!! They are a little sweet, a little tart and surrounded in a buttery shortbread… it doesn’t get much better! Cranberry Goodness in each Bite I have always been a BIG, BIG fan of cranberries. I love them dried and use them in lots of recipes, such as this Pumpkin Cranberry Pistachio Bread, but I also love fresh ones. There is just something about the tartness in each cranberry but then also the burst of sweet flavor you get at the same time. I use fresh cranberries each Thanksgiving for my Spiced Cranberry Sauce but I also love, love them in pastry.…

Sausage Dressing – Thanksgiving Must
Sausage Dressing is hands down our families favorite dressing. How do I know?? After 4 dressings, a blind taste test and an overwhelming vote… the winner has been named!! At least one election is for certain in 2020. Changing a Texas Girl’s World Being a good Texas girl I grew up eating cornbread dressing every Thanksgiving. The very traditional version of cornbread with onions, celery, and cornbread. My mom would bake the cornbread days in advance and prep anything she could to make her cornbread dressing. This Texas girls life was changed though a couple of years ago, I was introduced to bread and sausage dressing and it changed…

Salted Caramel Brownies… YES PLEASE
Salted Caramel Brownies make me happy… like giddy happy. I have tried several recipes and all are good (like these) but this is the BEST in my opinion. Caramel Yumminess… Salted Caramel is a must in my life. I love it on ice cream, poured over cheesecake, dip fruit in it and of course drizzle into super fudgy and delicious brownie batter. There is just something about chocolate and caramel together. I usually make my own salted caramel sauce but for these brownies I used this Salted Caramel Sauce. I love it because it is thick and super creamy, and holds up well as it is baked. You can…
