Desserts & Sweets
These Christmas Sandwich Cremes have always been called “Hamburger Cookies” at this Nest and the Nest where I grew up. A delicate, flaky pastry cookie filled with sweet creamy filling…they melt in your mouth and are completely swoon worthy! You can take every other cookie off the Goodie Tray…just leave me my “Hamburger Cookies” and nobody gets hurt!
You’re just 4 ingredients, and one slow cooker, away from enjoying these rich, creamy, crunchy chocolate peanut clusters. So Quick and Easy! A wonderful gift for friends, family, and neighbors. I’ve adjusted this recipe for the newer crock pots that cook at higher temperatures. Follow my instructions and they’ll turn out PERFECT every time!
One of the “perks” of this time of year? Guilty Pleasure Desserts! This cake is a wonderful guilty pleasure. It’s everything you want a Holiday cake to be. It’s simple to make, moist, packed with buttery rum flavor, and crunchy delicious pecans. It melts in your mouth and has a “Swoon Factor” of 10+! I refuse to disclose how many slices I’ve had…just be warned…you may want to hide this one for yourself!
I’m kicking off Holiday Baking Season with one of my very favorite cookies! It’s like a candy and a cookie all in one! What could be better than that? (Not much…unless it’s fairies to do the dishes!) You’ll love the rich buttery chocolate cookie combined with the tender flavorful cherry. Top it off with the cherry chocolate frosting and BAAAA-ZINGA! One of the BEST Holiday cookies EVER! Hooray for Holiday Baking! We’ve got this…right?!!!
Looking for a last minute treat this Holiday Season? One you can whip up in a hurry because you may have forgotten you signed up to bring a goodie? Well…I’ve got ya covered! (What’s a girlfriend for?!!!) If you have a boxed cake mix and a can of soda…we’re in business! Get ready to have the BEST quickie cupcake in baking history!

Whether you’re a first time baker, or a pro…my step-by-step instructions and recipes will help. They’re all here and waiting for you to come pick your favorite!
This time of year is the BEST time to bake! The smells that come wafting out of your kitchen are magical! Cinnamon, Clove, Allspice, Cranberry, Orange, Pumpkin…the list is long my friends! I’ve taken this classic Cranberry Orange Cake and updated it by adding an amazing Warm Buttery Orange Sauce! Serve this cake warm, with a healthy drizzle of that warm buttery orange sauce, and WOW your guests this Holiday Season!
There’s still time to whip up a last minute Halloween Treat! Like these ultra easy and fantastically delicious caramel chocolate dipped monster pretzels! They’re like a magical spooky candy wand. Careful! They may put a spell on you!
I know I keep raving about Fall! I can’t help myself. I don’t know if it’s the anticipation of getting together with family and friends for the Holidays, the Holiday baking, or if it’s everything that goes with the season. Football, Falling Leaves, Pumpkin patches, and Apples. That’s right… Fall means Apple Season! I love Apple Pie, Caramel Apples, and this wonderful Apple Cobbler! It’s simply the BEST! Kinda like this time of year.
