Hey all! This is an exciting post, because it’s our first post on our brand new and improved website, and it’s the post for the 2015 Food Blogger Cookie Swap! I’ve never done the Cookie Swap before, I only heard about it this year; but once I heard about it, I raced to sign up….
Gingerbread Cupcakes with Eggnog Frosting
Gingerbread Cupcakes with eggnog frosting are a perfect holiday treat for anyone who doesn’t love the traditional gingerbread cookie thing. All the gingerbread flavor, none of the disappointingly crunchy cookie. We’ve made these Gingerbread Cupcakes once before, and they were amazing. But the frosting didn’t really work out how we anticipated. It was with mascarpone cheese…
Peppermint and Chocolate Candy Cane Cake

Pumpkin Overnight Oats
We’ve been patient, haven’t we? Starbucks has been out there with their PSL’s since August, trying to cajole us into jumping the gun on pumpkin season by offering frozen frappuccino PSL’s designed to trick our tastebuds into thinking pumpkin is actually appropriate for 80-degree weather.
