I’m a self-professed sugar cookie connoisseur. I’ll take ’em frosted, cut-out, rolled in sugar, soft, chewy, crispy, or straight out of the plastic container from the bakery section at Walmart.

What I’m saying is that I’m fairly obsessed with sugar cookies and I’m honestly not very picky about them.

Wait, maybe that makes me less of a connoisseur and more of a human sugar cookie garbage disposal. Whatevs.

While I do appreciate a beautiful sugar cookie complete with royal icing, I’m more of a buttercream type of girl. And I’m impatient. It’s why I love no-chill sugar cookies when I do want to make cut-outs.

And I’m definitely not fancy, so these easy sugar cookies are totally my thing. They come together in less than 10 minutes with everyday ingredients that I’m betting you have in your fridge and pantry right now.

There are a handful of cookies, like spritz cookies and thumbprint cookies, that are holiday classics. But somehow they get forgotten about the rest of the year.

This year, I think we should be better about treating ourselves to some of those classic “Christmas” cookies throughout the year.

And I think we should start with these peanut butter cup cookies. After all, there’s no reason not to enjoy them in the middle of February or April or September!

Cold weather means warm drinks for me. Sure, I still love an iced shaken espresso even in the winter, but nothing makes me feel warm and cozy quite like a warm beverage.

And they’re a must for any winter or holiday party! Whether it’s a pot of spiced apple cider or hot chocolate, I think a warm beverage station is one of the best ways to make your guests feel welcome.

This crockpot hot chocolate is one you have to try for your next party. It’s rich and creamy, perfectly chocolatey, and easy to make and keep warm for any gathering.

Do you ever eat something at a party and know that you immediately need to make it at home?

That’s what happened with this Snickers dip. I tried some at a Halloween party back in October and knew I had to come up with my own recipe for it right away.

If you’re looking for a super easy dessert to take to your office party or serve for game day, this is the one. It comes together in about 10 minutes and is amazing when served with salty pretzels or tart apple slices.

Rice krispie treats are so much fun to make, especially with kids. Whether it’s a batch of classic rice krispie treats, chocolate rice krispie treats, or brown butter rice krispie treats, they’re a treat that kids love to make and kids and adults both love to eat.

With Halloween coming up, I wanted to have some fun and play around with a decadent chocolate version of this crowd favorite. I saw someone on TikTok use peanut butter Cap’n Crunch to make cereal treats recently and knew what I needed to do.

So here are peanut butter rice krispie treats! They’ve got two kinds of cereal and tons of peanut butter and chocolate for a treat that everyone will love.

With Halloween coming up, I know I can’t be the only one thinking about candy and chocolate.

Don’t worry, I’m still totally into fall flavors like pumpkin, apple, and maple. But it’s good to think about chocolate every once in a while, ok?

This butterfinger poke cake is a super decadent dessert that is delicious any time, but is especially great for Halloween parties. Grab a bag of fun-size Butterfingers and whip up this cake the night before your party.

Or maybe you end up with a bag of Butterfingers left over after Halloween – consider this the recipe to use them up!

We’ve officially entered one of the seasons when there is always candy in the house.

With a school-aged kiddo, Halloween is one of the times of year when she comes home with candy for what feels like a week straight. And that’s without trick-or-treating!

I don’t mind having candy in the house, but at some point it stops feeling special and we all sort of forget about it. Which means that we still have pieces of Halloween candy left over by the time Valentine’s Day rolls around and we’re doing it all over again.

So I like to try to get ahead of things and line up a couple of recipes I can make that use up leftover Halloween candy. We still get to enjoy the candy, but in a way that leaves less of it sitting around for 4 months.

This year, I’m crossing my fingers for some extra Snickers bars so I can whip up a batch of these Snickers brownies!

There are a handful of recipes that I make every single fall without fail.

My nana’s pumpkin crunch cake, my pumpkin cheesecake, and my pumpkin bread (and sometimes pumpkin chocolate chip bread) are all on that list. 

Pumpkin bread is especially high on the list and is always a crowd favorite, whether I make it for my family to snack on during the week or take a loaf in for Elle’s teachers as a special treat.

This year, I thought it would be fun to combine two of my favorite recipes – my classic pumpkin bread and Dominique Ansel’s banana bread – into one epic brown butter pumpkin bread.

The result is a super rich, buttery bread with pumpkin and fall spices accented by the nuttiness of the brown butter. It’s incredible when spread with butter (or maple butter!) or even some cream cheese for a decadent breakfast or afternoon snack.

This is a recipe that is definitely going on the annual fall recipe list.

We’re just over a month away from Halloween, but I feel like I’ve been seeing Halloween candy at the store for weeks now.

I’m not the only one, right?

With Halloween decorations appearing around the neighborhood and the new Hocus Pocus movie coming out, it’s time to start planning for that post-Halloween problem:

What do we do with all of this leftover Halloween candy?

These monster cookie bars are the perfect solution if you ask me. Whether you’ve got an excess of mini M&M’s or candy bars, you can toss just about anything in this recipe and count on it being delicious!

It’s finally chilly here in Ohio, which means it’s almost time for sweater weather, fall decorating, and pumpkin spice everything. 

I may have put out all my fall decor weeks ago, but I’m so glad it’s finally appropriate now. I couldn’t wait anymore!

One of my absolute favorite things about fall is our annual trip to the orchard. We round up the family to spend the afternoon together picking apples, going on hay rides, and winding our way through the corn maze. 

And although I adore all of those things, my absolute favorite thing about our day at the orchard are warm apple cider donuts served up with a piping hot cup of spiced apple cider.

These sweet apple cider donuts are everything you want in a fall treat. Whip them up before a chilly day out enjoying the fall leaves, or make them at night to go with a fun fall movie and some popcorn. 

I can’t imagine a more cozy evening!
