Soft and Chewy M&M Easter Cookies

March 31, 2014 by Cate 29 Comments

These M&M Easter cookies are the softest cookies you will ever make! They are full of chocolaty pastel M&Ms, which makes them delicious and perfect for Easter!

I was so excited to share these Easter cookies with you this morning. It is officially spring, March is almost over, Easter is less than three weeks away – so I figured it was definitely time for Easter recipes. Then I woke up this morning and it was SNOWING. Somehow it just seems wrong to be eating pastel M&M Easter cookies when it is snowing. But you know what – these cookies are too good to not share with you. So snow or no snow, let’s eat Easter cookies!

March 4, 2014 by Cate 52 Comments

Fun and festive sprinkles are added to a classic chocolate chip cookie, making these delicious funfetti cookies perfect for St. Patrick’s Day!

Good morning! Apparently it is National Pancake Day. I’m not sure how I missed that one – TheBetterHalf just emailed me to let me know! As the pancake queen, I’m kind of upset with myself for not knowing about this awesome holiday. I might have to eat a plate of these for dinner to make myself feel better. Or these. Or these.

So I don’t have pancakes to share with you today, but at least I have the next best thing – cookies! I am on a roll with the St. Patrick’s Day recipes. I just can’t help myself – I will take any excuse I can to make fun and festive treats. I posted these Irish Cream Cheesecake Brownies the other day, and today I have St. Patrick’s Day funfetti chocolate chip cookies for you!

Valentine’s Funfetti Pancakes with Vanilla Greek Yogurt Sauce

February 3, 2014 by Cate 58 Comments

Light and fluffy pancakes are fun and festive thanks to sprinkles in the batter. Greek yogurt is used in both the pancakes and the vanilla sauce, giving these funfetti pancakes tons of filling protein. Such a delicious and celebratory breakfast!

What a difference a day makes! Yesterday in NYC it was in the 50s and sunny and today it is 30 and snowing! We seriously got so lucky with the Superbowl weather.

Is everyone tired today from all the festivities last night? I know I am, and this snow is not helping things! So I need something to cheer me up today, and these pancakes are just the thing. If these don’t bring a smile to your face, I don’t know what will! Aren’t they just the cutest? And so perfect for Valentine‘s Day!…

Chocolate Donuts with Strawberry Cream Cheese Icing

January 29, 2014 by Cate 59 Comments

Baked chocolate donuts are topped with fresh strawberry cream cheese icing. Pretty and delicious, these will be a new breakfast favorite!

It is time for another Mystery Dish post! This month, Allie from Baking a Moment picked a fun list of celebratory ingredients for us. They were Champagne, Strawberries, Oranges, Beets, Filet Mignon, Lobster, Cream, Chocolate, Rosewater, and Rice. Since champagne, lobster, and filet mignon aren’t in my usual cooking repertoire, I’m not really sure what rosewater is, and I am not a fan of beets, I decided to go with what I know and love – chocolate and strawberries! It doesn’t get much better than that. Especially when combined in a baked donut – chocolate donuts with strawberry cream cheese icing to be exact!

Red Velvet Chocolate Chip Cookies

The classic flavor of red velvet cake is baked into a cookie and then mixed with tons of chocolate chips! These rich and chocolatey red velvet cookies taste amazing!

Is everyone getting excited for Valentine‘s Day? I must admit, I have never really been into Valentine’s Day. It was just never my thing (somewhere, TheBetterHalf breathes a huge sigh of relief…). However I’ve crossed over to the food blogger dark side – you know, when you post recipes way before the actual holiday (like my Thanksgiving spread) and get overly excited for every little holiday (I mean who wouldn’t want to celebrate national cookie day!). And really, when candy and cute colors like pink and red and adorable sprinkles are involved – well how can I not be on board with that?! So I guess I was wrong – I am into Valentine’s Day! And so I made you a perfect recipe for Valentine’s day – Red Velvet Chocolate Chip Cookies….
