I can remember the first time I had these Chocolate No Bake Cookies. I LOVE fudge, but it can be tricky to make. These cookies satisfy me every bit as much as fudge, but with much less work! I haven’t made them for a while, so a big thanks to Beth, at Snoodle, for …

Grandmas in the Kitchen

Peanut Butter Kiss Cookie Recipe
Today the kids are helping us bake our Peanut Butter Kiss Cookie Recipe. Around here, children are in the kitchen almost as much as the adults. The minute the grandbabies hear me putzing in my kitchen or every night when Michelle starts dinner, we know it’s only moments before we hear, “Can I help?” And the answer is always the say, …

Oatmeal Cran-Orange Cookies Recipe
Below is a recipe for Oatmeal Cran-Orange Cookies that Megan sent in from Ducks In A Row. It sounds “yumilicous”! The orange flavored cranberries and cinnamon make them “Holidayish” (imagine how wonderful these must smell when baking!) but the heartiness of the oatmeal make them a cookie to bake year round. Thanks, Megan, for sharing your recipe. Make sure you stop …

Felt and Stuffed Star Ornaments
Last year the kids and I made these Felt and Stuffed Star Ornaments for the little tree in our family room. What I loved about this project is that each generation took a different approach to the same theme. The kids had a blast decorating their felt stars with glitter glue and sequins. I went …

Every year Michelle adds a picture ornament to the tree with Bug’s, Fairy’s and Pixie’s pictures and year. This year I made the ornaments using our Christmas Tree Applique Block.
