Sooooo now that Halloween is over, we can get on to cookie season, right!? I thinks so! I’m not the kind of person who puts up my Christmas lights on November 1st (although tbh I have no problem with that), but I am totally the kind of person who thinks eating cookies all winter is…

Soft Toffee Cookies
Less than two weeks until Christmas! That means EAT ALL THE COOKIES!! Last week Portland got a good ol’ Portland snow storm, which means like 1″ of snow that turns to ice and shuts down the entire city for two days. I am definitely not complaining, since it meant I got to work from home…
Chocolate-Dipped Sriracha Rice Krispie Treats
Uuuh I did it again. Weirdo crazy-lady WTF (well that’s fantastic) rice krispie treats. These are spicy! Kinda. And dipped in chocolate! Halfway. And just as marshmallowy and delish as usual. You might be asking: are they good? Uhhhh DUH: yeah, they’re good. The sweetness of the marshmallow and chocolate offsets the spicy sriracha that…
Salted Gingerbread Oat Fudge
Here’s one last holiday-ish recipe for you guys: salted gingerbread oat fudge! Aiiii! I actually still feel like Christmas is a month or so away, not in approximately two days. Two days? Seriously?

Fresh Cranberry Almond Soft Batch Cookies
Happy Tuesday! Have you digested all that turkey yet? Pumpkin pie? Pumpkin cheesecake? STUFFING!? Oh man. I’ve been making sure to move my bod extra this week (even if that means riding my bike in 32 degree weather and FREEZING) to get over the Thanksgiving full-belly conundrum. The good news? I’m over it! The bad…
Chocolate Crackle Cookies
Throwback Thursday! Here’s a recipe I posted about a month after I started blogging, way back in the dark ages. It was time to get rid of the cringe-worthy yellow pictures, and replace them with slightly better, white-balanced images! Ha! Nevermind that these remind me of Christmas — they’re great anytime you want a chocolate…

Oat flour cookies! YEAH! Get on board, errbody! These are gluten-free, without all sorts of weird gums and xums and powders and shtuff. You know what I mean? Yeah.

Orange Carrot Cake Bars
Guys. I’m gonna let these bars do most of the talking today — I’m short on words and these bars are NOT short on awesome. So much orange zest! Tangy cream cheese frosting! Crunchy pecans! I’m calling these carrot cake BARS because they’re more dense than a normal carrot cake. Just how I like my…
Salted Chocolate Oat Fudge
This right here is #1 reason I’m loving life at the moment. I mean, there are a million wonderful things to love (great weather, great friends, fun outings, upcoming trips, etc.) HOWEVER: This salted chocolate oat fudge (with pecans!) is hands down the most addictive thing I’ve made in recent history. AND I SWEAR TO…
Single Serving Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
We’re gonna get serious for a moment here. I’ve been putting off writing this post for quite a while now. This blog has been ridiculously impersonal lately because I’ve been going through a really challenging time in my life. I struggle to write anything real on these pages, as I try so hard to bury…
Jalapeño Shortbread Cookies (+VIDEO)
I put a vegetable in a cookie! I’m not sure if this is a first for me or not, but it seems weird and awesome and SPICY — and it is. AND AWESOME. Don’t forget awesome. ALSO: I made you another video! I choke on spicy jalapeño sugar fumes. Nbd. Check it out here, or…
Favorite Fudge Brownies
Throwback Thursday! This recipe is from waaaay back when I first started blogging and had no idea what to do with a camera. Every Thursday I’ll be featuring an “old” recipe with a little makeover! These brownies are my “go-to” brownies — I use them as a base for any brownie variations (like these or…
