These White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cracker Cookies check all the boxes — easy (no bake), delicious, and so festive! My mom has made these forever for any time of year. Mostly she uses chocolate almond bark — but this time of year, I like to use the vanilla (white) almond bark and Christmas sprinkles to […] Read more…

That’s why I adapted one of her recipes and made Cranberry Cinnamon Sweet Buns with Orange Glaze. Bakers are whipping up all the Christmas cookies this […] Read more…

It’s been a lovely weekend overall, I’d say. Yesterday I had the house almost to myself. Teacher Man was deer hunting (no luck, unfortunately), and Joe went to […] Read more…
