In my sophomore year of high school, I decided to really embrace my brother’s advice about high school, which was: none of it matters! Me following that advice took a lot of forms over the last three years of high school, and I have plenty of stories about it. The only update I would give…
Puppy Chow (White Chocolate Chex Mix) Cookies
We have some family friends who we saw multiple times a year growing up, and we would always get together with around the holidays. And they would always give us puppy chow. It was something we all looked forward to when we saw them, and we would enjoy having it in a bag on our…
Mexican Wedding Cakes
Happy December 1st! AKA the real start of Christmas! I usually try to bake one new kind of Christmas cookie every year, to keep things interesting. But I always have to make the classics. And I thought Molly and I had posted about our classics on this blog ages ago! But we seem to have…
Thanksgiving 2024: Butterscotch Apple Pie with Dutch Crumb
