Hi everybody! Hope you’re having a lovely Sunday. I know you’re not used to me popping in on the weekend, but I have something special to share with you.

Time to share my favorite cookie out of this whole box (the cinnamon strawberry is a veryyyy close second)! If I had to pick a cookie that embodies the essence of summer, this is the cookie I would c…

I’ve been sitting on a little secret.

It’s S’mores Season!

Summertime means sun, fun, and, if you’re a parent, LOTS of hours to fill while the kiddos are home from school. Getting them into the kitchen to help out is a great way to impart valuable life lessons and create treasured memories while having fun and, of course, making something that’s really tasty. From sprinkling to shaking and stirring, we compiled…

Nestlé Toll House rolled out its fall cookie dough lineup, with six doughs and two morsel flavors covering pumpkin spice, cinnamon, football game day and a limited Scooby-Doo dough. Most tubs run $4.99, and a Target-exclusive Abuelita flavor arrives in August.

I feel like summer is the season of outdoor gatherings: picnics, brunches, birthdays, beach days, and so on. And I never like showing up empty-handed. Buuut you also need something that can handle the heat, which is exactly why these are the cookies I make for every summer get-together!

Hi friends —

I’m writing to you from a plane in the Canadian skies en route to ALASKA!! Michaela and I are spending a week visiting our friends who moved there, with more friends coming to join. I simply cannot wait - for the great company, the food, the hikes. We’re closing out the trip with Salmon Fest, a bow-worthy named music festival meant to celebrate and enco…

This might just be my most important recipe. It only takes two simple ingredients to create the absolute best vanilla extract. You can refill it as needed, to keep your pantry stocked with flavorful vanilla all year long! Get the recipe below, along with a few favorites to make it shine!

Heyyyy friends we are officially halfway through the year!!!!

There are chocolate chip cookies, and then there are the chocolate chip cookies people remember.

The hottest days of summer call for ice cream! And all you need for a simple, tasty homemade treat is a good ice cream base. My recipe for vanilla custard ice cream is easy, delicious and has wonderful flavor for all your favorite ice cream pairings.

My friend Lauren has developed an obsession with the Costco Marshmallow Krispy Cookies and at first I admit I was skeptical! And then I tried one… and yeah I get it. BUT I knew I could make one way better at home.(;

If you think regular brownies are good, just wait until you try these.

One of the perks of being a cookbook publisher is getting to try recipes months before the book hits the shelves. I’ve been obsessed with the brookies (half brownie, half cookie) from From Scratch by Alice Kelly, published last week by Nine Bean Rows, ever since I tried them during the photo shoot. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve made them since …
