Lemon Zucchini Muffins

Wait! Hold the phone and stop the presses. You can make a sweet, flavorful, and tender zucchini muffin WITHOUT cinnamon, but instead, use lemon?! Oh yes, I am beyond pleased to tell you – this is true. The world is a beautiful place and a

With as many delicious desserts as I have tried in my life, you would think that I wouldn’t stumble upon new desserts that somehow I haven’t heard of. But it happens. Sometimes it’s a new concept of a classic or a slight change to a 

Pumpkin Cream Cheese – All Year Long

Pumpkin Cream Cheese – All Year Long

It’s that time of year: when pumpkin everything appears. I know there are those *ahem, my husband* (opposites attract) that dread September 1st and the appearance of everything pumpkin. Apparently, they are just trying to enjoy the last bit of summer – or so I’m told. I,

Lemon Lime Bars Are The ZEST!

Lemon Lime Bars Are The ZEST!

Delivery Drivers’ Cinnamon Chocolate Chip Cookies

We have the best package delivery guys and mailman! A while ago, Rosie wanted to make thank you cards for everyone delivering our heavy boxes. We of course made cookies to go with them, because what is a thank you without a cookie? I had
