Guest Blog Post by: Kate Sigafoos Baking with your kids is a wonderful way to spend time together.   Kids learn math, science, and patience and parents get dessert out of the whole shebang.  A total win-win.

I’m sorry, girls in scout uniforms, but these [...]

I make cookies often because my husband eats cookies often. Sometimes it’s hard to keep up with him and his cookie habits. I’m sure it will only get worse as my son gets older. I have always loved snicker doodles but sadly I don’t make them as often as I should. This is a fabulous [...]

As Superbowl was approaching last week I knew I needed a good dessert to bring to the party we were headed to. It couldn’t be a girly dessert since this was the Superbowl after all. It had to be easy to make because I was swamped planning and pulling off two birthday parties the week before. [...]
