Ever heard of the phrase “Easy as Pie?” I hate to break it to you, but while pie is my ultimate favorite dessert to bake and eat, pie isn’t always easy. There are lots of steps involved.

All the cozy smells in the house are comforting and warm. So, if you are looking for a delicious mouthful of apple pie without any of the hassle, look no further! Apple pie in a mug really is easier than pie!

Summer is on the way! Bring on all the berries! I love this time of year. Fresh berries are popping up everywhere and that means …
I love homemade oreos. I call them my happiness cookies. They are delightfully crisp, chocolatey, slightly bitter, with the perfect creamy center. Who doesn’t love chocolate and cream? Deep, dark, chocolate wafers are very intensely flavored with the help of two different kinds of cocoa powder. The instant espresso powder found in the wafers helps accentuate the chocolaty flavor and makes the cookies basically scream in a deep bass voice, “EAT ME I’M CHOCOLATE!” Add some extra creamy, milky white filling, and voila! You’ve got the best homemade oreo cookies ever! They are so much better than store bought oreos, and will bring a smile to every face! Homemade oreo cookies are the ultimate celebration cookie.
