If you’ve been following along this week, you may be wondering “how in the world is rugelach considered basic or simple?” And you’d be right. It’s a little not-basic, but it is simple, and it’s fitting in with our lineup of holiday treats in that it is a staple for a holiday that is near…

Gingerbread Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting
I don’t know about you, but gingerbread is a total year round flavor for me. In fact, gingersnaps are one of my favorite cookies, and I’ll take that cinnamon/ginger/cloves/nutmeg/allspice situation any day of the year. When it comes to Christmas time, it’s practically sacrilegious not to make something spiced like gingerbread, whether it be spiced…
Homemade Hot Cocoa Mix
Hard to believe Thanksgiving is tomorrow, and that Christmas is just 4 short weeks away from that! It’s tough when Thanksgiving is late, because then I feel like we rush to get a tree up, listen to our Christmas music at warp speed, and then it’s dreary January before we know it.

Mini Drop Sugar Cookies with Sprinkles
We’re celebrating today, y’all. Like biiiiiig celebration. Last Friday was my last day at my job. This week, I start life as a full time food blogger and sprinkle artist. For the last 11 years, I’ve worked in an immunology lab, and I’ve loved it. Never once have I really felt like I was at…
Pumpkin Cookie Cake
This giveaway is currently closed. Thank you all who participated! It’s time for my annual cookie cake recipe, because today I turn 34!
