Instead of making the same old traditional chocolate chip cookies, I thought I'd try baking some molasses cookies. I've never made them before, so I was a little weary at first because of the name. But boy was I wrong, These cookies are awesome!

This is a recipe for onion rings but with a twist, it includes beer! Adding beer to the batter makes the onion rings taste oh-so-much better! It makes them light and crispy crunchy!

Cherry Chocolate Delight
Cherry Chocolate DelightThis is a quick, easy, tasty dessert. This would be a great make ahead dessert for company when you're short on time. It also looks pretty! Make sure you serve it in a clear glass cup/wine glass so that you can see all the layers.

Easy Apple Dumplings
Easy Apple DumplingsI thought I'd share this delicious dessert that I used to make when my kids were home on snow days. It soothed the senses twice by filling the house with the smell of warm baking apples that we would enjoy after shoveling snow or sleigh riding.

A dinner plate with roast chicken with aji sauce
Roasted Chicken with Aji SauceOur family loves a little Peruvian restaurant in our town. It's delicious but a little too expensive. I did a search for the famous aji sauce they serve and found a few options. The first one I tried was amazing! It is so simple but full of flavor.

Desperation Winter Soup
Desperation Winter SoupI was desperate, nothing for dinner, super busy day. So I hunted through my pantry and fridge to see what I could throw into the crockpot on high and hope it cranked out something good.

S'mores Dip - Golden brown out of the oven.
S'mores DipWe love s'mores in our house but hate waiting all year for the summer to roast marshmallows. We sometimes microwave the chocolate and marshmallow, but you don't get that nice crust that you'd get from roasting them. Then I discovered this dip. It is so quick and easy, and delicious!

Spicy Honey Chicken
Spicy Honey ChickenRecently, I had some chicken thighs that I needed to cook for dinner and didn't feel like making it the usual way. The same recipe kept coming up. After the 10th time of coming across it, I gave in and tried it. I was pleasantly surprised.

Butterscotch Squares
Butterscotch SquaresMy husband loves the butterscotch squares at See's Candies. But, it can get expensive to "feed" his habit! I came across a recipe for copycat butterscotch squares. They looked so good, that I had to make them.

Superbowl Chili with coffee, beer and cocoa
Superbowl ChiliYes, this is the chili I made for the Superbowl.:) It has an ingredient list that reaches all the way to the end zone, but it's worth it! Among the ingredients are sugar, cocoa and coffee. Let me tell you, it's good!

Healthy Whole Wheat Pancakes
Healthy Whole Wheat PancakesI love those cheap "just add water" pancakes mixes just as much as the next girl, probably more! That said, these pancakes actually don't take that much more time. They truthfully taste delicious, and they are healthy.

A Different Kind of Haystack Cookie
A Different Kind of Haystack CookieThese cookies/candy have an unusual list of ingredients but they are so good. I've made them with just pretzels or just chow mein noodles. Today, I had a little of both leftover and threw them all in. You can really add whatever you might like in there.

Fruit Pizza
Fruit PizzaI don't know what I like more about this dessert, the fact that it's so pretty, or that it tastes so good! This is my daughters favorite. She was begging me to make it again for the longest time. Once I did, I remembered why.

Marshmallow Cream Frosting
Marshmallow Cream FrostingOnly recently did I discover the wonders of a Snowball confection. I was in search of a good marshmallow frosting to make my own version of a Snowball, but the recipes I tried were too runny. So, I concocted my own frosting and put it atop a chocolate cake and then topped it all with pink coconut.
