I’m extremely devoted to my Bits & Bites recipe; it’s one of my most nostalgic recipes that reminds me of being a kid at Christmas time. When I wrote that post in 2020 (one of my last pre-pandemic posts!) I mentioned how Deb had a fancy version on Smitten Kitchen, but I wasn’t ready to......
Does this picture immediately stir up nostalgic feelings from your youth? Can you smell the Worcestershire sauce and garlic powder? Do you remember trying to hide bags of it from your brothers? No? Just me? When I was a kid, this snack mix – known in our house as Bits & Bites, Nuts & Bolts......
Smitten Kitchen has a new cookbook out! I’ve really tried to curtail my cookbook acquisitions over the last couple of years, but obviously I needed to have this one. I bought it when I went to see Deb on her cookbook tour back in October. She didn’t do an interview or Q&A like last time,......
When one of your foodie friends is celebrating a big birthday, it’s time to bust out the big guns with a special cake. For Tasty G‘s big day, it had to be a Take 5 Birthday Cake. I wasn’t acquainted with the Take 5 Candy Bar until I met Heather. It’s her favourite, and whenever......

Bale Bars. Otherwise known as: No-Bake White Chocolate Caramel Peanut Butter Pretzel Bars. That’s a lot going on for this simple looking bar. They’re incredibly sweet, and I have to admit I’m not sold. I feel like they would be a better combined with something else; maybe layered on top of brownies (like these), or......
Every year I host a little Christmas party for my friends, where we eat cookies, drink champagne, and toast the holidays. It’s selfish really; in years past I used to make up cookie packages and deliver them around to everyone, whereas now, everyone comes to me! This little soiree is always BYOT, where the T......
  Howdy y’all! Welcome to my first Baked Sunday Morning! This is an online baking group that is working through Baked Explorations one recipe at a time. You guys have already seen and probably eaten a few things from this book: Sweet & Salty Brownies, Red Velvet Whoopie Pies, and Chocolate Mint Thumbprints.  I thought jumping into the group would be......
