Since it's fall and apples are in season, its a perfect time to make apple cookies. These are soft and chewy cookies that are packed full of flavor. I made two variations of these cookies. One using rice flour...

Nutella Chocolate Pinwheel Cookies

Pinwheel Cookies Nothing is better then a pretty cookie. These are a chocolate/vanilla soft sugar cookie. This is a recipe that you have to prepare ahead of time, because some freezing of the dough is required.  It is a good cookie to make around the holidays or to impress someone. These are slice and bake cookies so you can make...

Apple Cake

Apple Cake  The main ingredient in this cake is apples. That means its healthy. Right? While I was making my apple crumble pie, I had some left over apples so I decided to make a apple cake. While I love apple cake, my neighbor had never heard of it, so the left over apples were a perfect excuse to let her try it.  This is a...

Apple Crumble Pie

Apple Crumble Pie  I wanted to make a apple pie, but I already had a pre-made graham cracker crust that I wanted to use. So I combined the two ideas. It has the filling of a apple pie and the topping of a apple crumble. My neighbors invited me over for dinner, since I'm known for always bringing them cookies when I am home, obviously I...

Cranberry Bread

Cranberry Bread  Its like thanksgiving in August. This bread is good anytime of the day. Since this recipe makes 4 small loafs I got to enjoy it for breakfast... until someone else ate it all when I wasn't looking.  This is not a sweet bread. The cranberries add a tart flavor. Personally I think this bread tastes better the second...

Pretzel Caramel Cookies.

Pretzel Caramel Cookies I wanted to bake something salty and sweet. I made these for some of my friends along with the peanut butter banana cookies. I used a mixture of cream cheese and butter in these cookies. This led to a ultra fluffy and soft cookies. Some say they almost taste healthy. The pretzels will stay crunchy in the cookies...

Strawberry Muffins

Strawberry Muffins  Nothing is better for breakfast then muffins fresh out of the oven. Strawberries were on sale at the market so I bought a ton, later to find out I'm the only one in the house who likes strawberries. Gina made these muffins to help use up the strawberries.  These are moist, soft, and fluffy muffins. Normally...

Dr. Pepper Brownies

Dr. Pepper Brownies  I've seen tons of recipes using soda. The majority of them used just a box of cake mix and a sprite. I wanted to try a recipe with soda, except I didn't have a can of sprite.. or cake mix. So Dr. Pepper brownies were born. These brownies are moist and chocolatey with a hint of Cherry Dr. Pepper. They are almost cake...
