Consider these to-die-for filled chocolate cookies my obligatory Halloween post. Wait. I almost forgot did this one. Way back in the day, Boy and I used to make these cookies at Halloween. They were his absolute favs. Yet, when I sent him a text telling him that I was making them again after a hiatus …

Every August, when it’s blazing hot outside in Texas (today: 108° feels like 113°), I start thinking about holiday cooking. What to have, what to try, what to tweak. I’ve had this recipe on my mind for a few weeks now and just as it started feeling like the innards of an oven outside, I …
After Boy was born, my sweet M-I-L ceremoniously handed me a folded and well-worn page torn from a women’s magazine. When I unfolded it, there was an image of a child’s birthday cake in the shape of an elephant. She told me that she had made the elephant cake for Husband almost from the time …

The star here isn’t the cupcakes, but the Strawberry Lemonade Frosting. It met and then decided to exceed my, and all who experienced it, expectations. Witness its strawberry lemonade glory: Take any vanilla cupcake recipe and then get ready to super-charge those badboys. ~ A gentle reminder: OMT! uses Amazon referral links. When you do …
I likey buttermilk. I am fond of plucking a lime from my tree to stuff into my beer. I adore shortbread. Combine all these lovely tastes into Buttermilk Lime Shortbread Bars and you’d think I’d be in heaven. Sometimes you win with a recipe and other times you walk away with a “Note to self: …
Right at this very moment I know you could use a pick-me-up (yes, even, especially, if it’s 7am) and this post certainly won’t help. BUT, you can poke them down your piehole lickety-split with this super easy recipe. I give you: Brownie Chunk Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting. Oh my… Confession #1: I used a …
What happens when I’m bored and want to bake, all in one moment? I rummage through the pantry. I rummage through the fridge. I ask myself, “Mrs. Tucker, what’s so weird that you’ve got to make it?” (head’s up: some days grannies get so excited they revert to third-person) Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip BACON Cookies. …
