Toasted S’More Yays!
You’ve had that campfire treat. But have you made one out of the Girl Scouts’ top selling Toast Yay cookie?? No more will the graham cracker crumble as you stick on your toasted marshmallow. The Toast Yay has a sweet cinnamon flavor but has a better crunch than a graham cracker. Try it for your […]
Cranberry Christmas Cookies
It’s the holiday season! For this year’s cookie exchange at work, I decided to make red, green, and white cookies – red cranberries, green sprinkles, and white chocolate chips. My husband said the cookies were amazing! Let’s hope my co-workers agree. These cookies are somewhat like a jumble cookie. They have oatmeal, tart cranberries, sweet […]

After much trial and error, the below recipe is as close as I could get to my husband’s favorite Christmas treat. Please let […]
