Sick and tired of plain old Oreos?!

Hey there!  Remember me?  I know, I know...I have no excuse for abandoning you all and leaving you to search for delicious baked goods all on your own.  All I can promise is that it won't happen again, I swear!  I may not post every day, or even every week, but I will do my best to try to post at least once a week...probably on Fridays...they are my only day off.  See, don't you feel special?!  I am going to share my only day off with you!

Okay, enough sucking up and apologizing already.  I am sure you are all dieing to know what wonderful thing I have discovered involving Oreo cookies.  And no, those of you thinking these are my truffles...sorry they are not...this is something way more unusual and oh so very yummy!  Oreo stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies!!!!!!  They are delicious, they are wonderful and as I sit here writing to all of you glorious readers, I am watching my family devour them at an amazing speed and ruining their dinners!  For shame, family, FOR SHAME!!!! 

Here they are, don't they look amazing?  They are quite large though, essentially three cookies in one, so keep them away from your family until after dinner.  Learn from my mistakes people...trust me!



 My hubby found these for me when he was looking at one of his sites...he saw a picture, read what they were and then showed me a new blog...Buns In My Oven...great blog!  I am so in love with her recipes, you should hop on over there and check it out, seriously.  She did this recipe a little while ago and she in return got it from yet another amazing blog, Picky Palate...also wonderful and a new fav of mine.  I am making a couple of things from their pages for the Super Bowl this weekend in fact!


Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookiesrecipe from Picky Palate
  • 2 sticks butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 10 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 package Oreo cookies (I had a bunch leftover)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugars. Add in the eggs and vanilla and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add to the wet mixture and combine thoroughly. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Chill the dough for 15 minutes to make it easier to work with and to keep the dough from spreading when baking.  (I didn't do this long enough and mine seemed to spread more than hers.)
Using a cookie scoop, place one scoop of dough on top of an Oreo cookie. Place another single scoop on the bottom of the Oreo to create a cookie sandwich. Squish the scoops of dough together and seal the edges together to completely enclose the Oreo.




Place the balls of cookie dough on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 9-13 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack.
Be sure to enjoy these with a big glass of cold milk!

S'mores with a Twist!

Now that it is finally summer and the weather is beautiful here in Southwest Washington, that means it is time for camping and cookouts to begin.  The most important food item at these events of course, being s'mores.  Who needs the hot dogs, burgers and steaks...I'll take s'mores please!  : D For our family camping trip I decided to mix it up a bit and feature some new candy bars besides the Hershey's Milk Chocolate bars.  I hit the candy aisle at the grocery store and looked for every flat-ish candy bar available.  I ended up with a Hershey's Symphony bar, a Hershey's Cookies n' Cream bar, a Mr. Goodbar (my family's personal fav) and a Reese's Peanut Butter bar.  Time for the fun to begin!   We all had a blast trying the different bars and although they were all delicious, my mother-in-law and sister-in-law liked the Mr. Goodbar best, where as I LOVED the Reese's Peanut Butter bar.  I ate way too many after white water rafting...but I figure

Graduation cupcakes!

A few weeks ago now, our family had two graduations on the same day...my little one graduated from preschool (I feel so OLD) and my brother-in-law graduated from high school.  In honor of such wonderful occasions I decided to make some cupcakes.   For my daughter's, I made mini cupcakes with blue and pink graduation hats since those are the colors she and her classmates wore from graduation.  Then for our little BBQ at home, I made big cupcakes with green hats (that was my brother-in-law's school color) and pink ones for the graduation girl.   Now, I must confess, that with all the things going on that week and the fact that I had to bake goodies for the end of the quarter parties at the college I work at, I cheated on these cupcakes.  Yup, that's right, I used box mixes.  See, I do it sometimes...not often but every once in a while you just don't have the time or energy to bake from scratch.  I do it, you guys do it...we all do.  So do you forgive me?!  : D

Homemade Cinnamon Rolls...from scratch!

Tuesdays are our lazy days around our house.  I don't work until the afternoon and my daughter doesn't have school, so it is kind of the day that we sleep in, have a yummy breakfast and get a few things done around the house.  This Tuesday, I decided to make it extra special and make homemade cinnamon rolls...from scratch!  I don't think there is any better breakfast than a delicious hot from the oven cinnamon roll that you made with your very own hands.  Plus, I had some leftover cream cheese frosting that tasted just like Cinnabon's frosting...so yeah, basically best breakfast EVER! lol Our ingredients... Add your milk, oil, and sugar to a saucepan.  Heat over medium heat until just below boiling. Sprinkle on the yeast and allow to sit for a minute. Stir in the 4 cups of flour. Allow to sit covered with a kitchen towel for an hour in a warm place.  then stir in the last 1/2 cup flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Place in a large bowl and r
