Friends, it is THAT time of year. The time March rolls around, bringing with it potentially warmer weather (nevermind the weird snowstorm we got this past weekend or the one that’s affecting a lot of the east coast today… I don’t rule out a blizzard until it’s April!) and, because of its special Irish holiday,…

Baked Mint Chocolate Chip Donuts
Just like February deserves a nod to red velvet, so does March deserve some sort of green treat, preferably in the form of mint chocolate. Last year, I killed two birds with one stone on Pi Day with this no bake mint chocolate chip pie, but this year I’m separating the two occasions and gracing…
Peppermint Cut-Out Sugar Cookies
And just like that, we’re 1/3 of the way through our 12 Days of Christmas Cookies! Let’s recap for those of you who may just be joining the party: we have chocolate cayenne cookies, chocolate chip snowballs, monster cookies, and now we have one that is absolutely jam-packed with Christmas cheer. It’s also a recipe…
No Bake Candy Cane Crunch Pie
Woahhhh! Thanksgiving week? Anyone else just get used to writing 2016?

Chocolate Peppermint Biscotti
It should not surprise you at all that I have a holiday appropriate biscotti flavor. After all, I did absolutely fall in love with biscotti making this summer and have wanted to make nothing but biscotti since then. But I figure I need to hold myself back a bit and keep a variety of recipes…
Peppermint Pretzel Bark
I will keep this short and sweet because 1) we’ve all got a lot of stuff to do in the next 24-36 hours and 2) I blabbed to you last year about how much peppermint bark needs to happen in your kitchen, so I won’t go too crazy this year, but I will say… Peppermint…
Skinny Shamrock Shake
It’s finally March! I thought we would never get here. The weeks after Christmas and the New Year just seem to dragggg on and on and on… But here we are, ready for all things green and minty and shamrocky and leprechauny and St. Patrick’sy. And, with hope in every fiber of my being, some…
