Kitchen Sink Oatmeal Cookies – oatmeal cookies filled with everything but the kitchen sink! Chocolate chunks, white chocolate chips, cinnamon chips, walnuts, raisins, and coconut! When we moved I realized I had a lot of mostly empty bags of chocolate chips. A lot. Same goes for pecans, shredded coconut, almond meal, bottles of vanilla, all the…

Monster Trail Mix
This is a sponsored post for SheSpeaks/P&G. Are you loving summer? I’m loving summer. This has been the best summer of my life and we’re only a few weeks in. My kids are all at really good ages for outdoorsy things right now and we’re just really loving everything central Texas has to offer. Plus, we’re…
Irish Soda Bread
This post originally published on March 14, 2011. Photos updated on March 1, 2016. I avoid the Irish soda bread trend every Saint Patrick’s Day. Partly because I’m a party pooper and only do themed posts for the super important holidays but mostly because every other food blogger has a post about soda bread going…
Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Cinnamon Apple Pie with Raisins and Crumb Topping
Time again for a Secret Recipe Club post! I hit the jackpot with my secret blog this month: Kristine’s Kitchen. Kristine has healthy food, naughty food, and everything in between. After sorting through her blog, I tweeted: I got a bunch of replies telling me to let the husband choose and decided to pick the…
Beggar’s Linguine
In Around My French Table, Dorie explains that while the literal translation of this dish includes the word beggar, it’s typically used to describe a chocolate bonbon with nuts, dried fruit, and candied orange zest. That makes sense because I don’t know any beggars that can afford $6.99/lb pistachios. If they can, I’m in the…
