Mmmmm, pie. Pumpkin pie, apple pie, chocolate cream pie, lemon meringue pie…I could go on and on. Along with soup, pie is something I could eat year round. And it all starts with the crust. Light and flaky that doesn’t overpower the tasty filling. A nice golden brown crust edge is the perfect frame for…
Aunt Nancy’s 7-Layer Cookies
I’m sure everyone has that one holiday dessert that is made every year without fail and is still the favorite every year. For me it’s these cookie bars. They’ve been on the dessert tray as long as I can remember. My Aunt Nancy is a dessert maven and almost all of her desserts involve chocolate. …

Mark’s Aunt Petti did Thanksgiving for the family. Sometimes 40 people; her door was always open. My first Thanksgiving at her house was as a 19-year-old…
Easy Cake Mix Cookies
I love cookies anytime, and I really do mean anytime. So much so that it’s completely normal for me to bake a batch or two before we go on a trip. Weekends may just be brownies or a cobbler, but anything longer than that calls for cookies. Bonus if they can be hidden in the…
