Thanks to tropical storm Lee, it has been quite soggy here in Pittsburgh since Saturday. Grey skies, a constant rain with some downpours splattered in, much cooler temperatures, and overall pretty dreary has been the norm for the last few days. For the most part, I revel in weather like that – sometimes there is [...]

Sometimes it’s nice to slow life down just a little bit. Stop and smell the roses. Doesn’t it feel like we’re always rushing somewhere? Or rushing to get something done, so we can move on to the next thing or hurry out the door? I feel like life moves way too fast in our uber-ambitious [...]

This peanut butter pie is for Mikey. I don’t know Mikey, but his wife, Jennie, runs the food blog In Jennie’s Kitchen. I have never met Jennie, although we have communicated online and I shared a guest post on her site a couple of years ago (see: Polenta Pizza). This past Sunday, Mikey collapsed and [...]

I am dumbfounded as to how these cookie bars do not yet have their own little cozy corner of this site. After the chunky pecan pie bars, these cookie bars were the second baked good that I made over and over and over again in high school and beyond. I came across a recipe for [...]

There is absolutely no question about where my heart lies when it comes to candy. Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and Reese’s Pieces are it for me. (I know, huge shocker.) Reese’s cups were my favorite Halloween candy as a kid and they were what my Chief Culinary Consultant bought me to celebrate liberation from a [...]

I simply cannot resist any dessert that has even the slightest thing to do with peanut butter. If Oreos and cream cheese are involved, all the better. Which is why as soon as I laid eyes on this dessert I knew I had to have it. It wasn’t a question of if, it was a [...]

We all know that I adore anything and everything with peanut butter. Really. Anything and everything. Remember a few days ago when I told you that I picked up the Baked Explorations cookbook at a Williams-Sonoma outlet? I couldn’t wait to dig in and the first recipe that I zeroed in on was the Sweet [...]

It’s been a little while since I threw chocolate and peanut butter together in a sweet concoction. In fact, it’s been nearly a month since I made the Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream. A month without chocolate and peanut butter together is much too long in my little world! Plus, I hadn’t been in [...]

Back when I talked about my Florida vacation and all of the wonderful things about it, I included all of the ice cream that I ate. We made a habit of polishing off a cone just about every evening, which I of course loved! While on vacation, I fell in love with the Chocolate Peanut [...]

So, these are pretty much some of the most awesome cookies that I have ever had. Ever. Imagine the most perfect peanut butter cookie, then throw in chunks of Snickers candy bars and milk chocolate chips and you have all that is good with the world in these cookies. I’m always looking to do something [...]
