Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake {Foodie Friday}

Normally I try to copy the photo that Annie takes in an attempt to better my photography skills, but the day I made this, her site was down due to an upgrade, and I had to go it alone. Well, I wasn't too far off!!

Peanut Butter Crisscrosses {Foodie Friday}

Let me just say, these cookies were SOOO good!! This is probably my favorite thing since the Thick and Chewy Chocolate Chip cookies! I made a half batch of these because using two sticks of butter for anything just kills me and I ended up with about 3 dozen cookies. So if you are working on some last minute Christmas goodie boxes, these would be perfect.

Toy Drive Party Printables

Christmas Countdown Paper Chain {Free Printable}

I have been on the hunt for an advent calendar for a while now. When I was growing up, we had one with a Christmas tree on top and ornaments in 24 pockets below. Every day we would put an ornament on the tree until Christmas! I thought it was the greatest thing ever. I have been shopping and shopping, but I have not been able to find anything like it anywhere! I enede up buying one that was 60% off at Jo Ann Fabrics last week. It had a Christmas tree on it and a snowflake that moved around the pockets on the outside. It was close enough, so I bought it. Then the next day I saw this. I think this will be equally fun when Caroline is old enough to count and can tear them off every day. (Well I am sure she capable of the tearing now). So hop on over to The TomKat Studio and get yours!

Chewy, Fudgy Triple Chocolate Brownies {Foodie Friday}

Thick is probably an understatement here. These things are huge and this picture is absolutely terrible. Sorry. I was kind of rushing out the door at the time I took it. These turned out to be really good if dunked into a cup of ice cold milk or with a big scoop of ice cream. I would recommend cooking them in a slightly larger pan and for a little bit less time. I prefer my brownies to be not quite cooked and I think I over cooked these a little bit. I'm a half baked kind of gal.

Basic Pie Dough {Foodie Friday}

There is a great deal of satisfaction that comes from baking your own homemade pie. That's from scratch, people. I have never made a pie before, let alone a pie with a homemade crust. This turned out to be really amazing in taste and that feeling of accomplishment. I feel like if I can bake a pie, then I can do anything...now. back. to. the. kitchen.

Soft Garlic Knots {Foodie Friday}

Let's be honest, these rolls were not as amazing as I thought they were going to be. I'm going to have to try them again. When I was ready to put these in the oven, my lasagna had another hour to go. Then when I put the butter glaze on them, they flattened, so I will have to try them again. They weren't bad by any means, I just had such higher expectations.

Go out there and be amazing free printable
