Rice krispy treats get a makeover with peanut butter, chocolate and sprinkles I've mentioned before about how my tastes have changed as I've aged. Another area is movies/TV. I used to love spending hours with my mom going to the movies and watching TV shows. I still cherish these memories. But now I cringe at the thought of sitting in a movie theater.

Pumpkin Ginger Sandwich Cookies
Celebrate the arrival of fall with perfectly spiced pumpkin sandwich cookies I'm conflicted. Don't get me wrong I love Pumpkin Spice Lattes and Panera Pumpkin Shortbread Cookies, but ever since I started heavily baking, I felt like I was cheating if I indulged in one of these treats.

Lemon Sandwich Cookies with Strawberry Lemon Buttercream Frosting
Citrus cookies filled with strawberry lemon frosting I'm the quietest chick you'll ever meet. & believe me when I say, it's not a bad thing. I've heard my whole life, "you're so quiet!" Well, so what if I am? I wasn't blessed with the gene of having something to say or knowing what to say. Sure, maybe it's held me back in certain situations, but I'm sure it's helped me in more ways than I'll ever know. Each person is different and you just have to accept that. So, all you ...
