One of my favorite flavor combinations is cherries with chocolate. I also love cherry Greek yogurt and eat it a few times per week for a low calorie, high protein, sweet treat. I started thinking about recipes I could make with this great yogurt and chocolate. Honestly, I'd be happy adding 2 T of mini dark chocolate chips into my cherry Greek yogurt but isn't so hard is it? I don't know if you'd want to see an entire blog post about how easy that dessert time snack is. {But it is so easy. You … [Read more...]
Springtime White Chocolate Dipped Chocolate Chip Cookies
Thanks to Nestle Toll House for sponsoring today's discussion. (Like I need a reason to make cookies!)

Chocolate Chip Cookie Truffles Recipe
This week my husband purchased two official kid sized soccer balls. We saw a father and daughter at our local park practicing and my daughter could not wait to practice soccer with daddy.

When we got home, she wanted a snack before dinner. Thankfully, I found Mrs. Fields Nibblers® at our local Fred Meyer (Kroger affiliate … [Read more...]

Pumpkin Spice Cake Mix Cookies
Thank you Global Influence and HERSHEY'S for sponsoring today's post. Halloween is a fun time of year because truthfully I love the over abundance of candy. I have the worst (or best, it depends on how you look at it) sweet tooth. Really. I can't buy the candy or I will eat it.

But we prefer … [Read more...]

Peppermint Sugar Cookie Kisses Recipe
I know Christmas is over, but we had such a great time this holiday season baking cookies. Family Christmas traditions are important and baking sugar cookies has been ours for quite some time. A sugar cookie kiss is always such a hit with family and friends of all ages. This year, we decided to make a bit extra and share them with our church family. I am a big proponent right now at this stage in our life to make semi-homemade things. So I purchased the sugar cookies ready to bake. It is … [Read more...]
