White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies

Soft and chewy, full of warm spices and buttery oats, with just enough sweet cranberry sass and melty white chocolate to make you feel like you’ve got your life together (even if you don’t).

Okay, full disclosure: I wasn’t planning to make cookies today. I was going to be productive. I had a list. There were goals. But then the cranberries looked at me with those little raisin-ey eyes and whispered, “What if… you didn’t?”

So I didn’t.

And thank goodness, because these cookies turned out to be exactly the kind of magical kitchen accident that deserves its own parade. They’re soft. They’re chewy. They’re the perfect mix of tart and sweet, hearty and delicate. Basically, they’re the cookie equivalent of wrapping up in a fluffy blanket, lighting a candle, and deciding you can survive this week after all.

Carrot-Spice Cake Balls

 Soft spice cake meets cream cheese bliss, dipped in dreamy white chocolate and decked out for spring.

You know how some people wake up in the morning, stretch their arms out wide, and say things like, “Let’s go for a run!” or “What a perfect day to organize the garage!”?

Yeah, I’m not one of those people.

But I am the kind of person who wakes up, stretches both arms toward the sky, and says…
“Let’s put vegetables in dessert and cover it in chocolate!!”

And that, my friendly kitchen sidekicks, is how these Carrot-Spice Cake Balls were born.

Before you ask, yes — there are real carrots in here. And no, you can’t see them after we roll them into little cake balls and dip them in melty white chocolate magic. It’s like carrot cake got dressed up for a spring party and invited sprinkles to DJ.

And guess what? 

You’re totally invited too. 

So grab your aprons (or your superhero capes), and let’s turn a boring ol’ cake mix into edible springtime happiness.

Decadent Fudgy Brownies - From Scratch!

Thick and fudgy homemade brownies with a crinkly top—better than boxed mix and easy to make from scratch!

Brownies are a little bit of a contention point in our house. My husband is absolutely positive that the best brownies in the entire world are the kind you make from a pouch. I tell him that the very best brownies in the entire world are the kind you eat. With your mouth. Because brownies are never wrong. Unless they are Brussels sprouts masquerading as brownies. And if that's the case, we have bigger problems in this world than I thought.

These brownies are just like the kind you make from the pouch you get at the grocery store. Except better. They are every bit as chocolatey and fudgy, but they are also a little thicker so you get a good solid mouthful every time you bite into it. And... they can actually be picked up without your hands taking a brownie bath. (Not that there is anything wrong with a brownie bath.)
