There are few things more delicious and fun than Red Velvet White Chocolate Chip Cookies at Christmas. Yes, you read that right. We all love, and I mean LOVE, red velvet in my house. The rich red chocolate is a delight in every way and the kids and I always go for it whenever we have the chance. Red Velvet works well for many things, including cakes, cupcakes, cheesecakes and more. But, in this case, we are making cookies that look like fantastic Christmas ornaments on a plat

At Christmas time I like to share a classic cookie recipe that everyone loves. This year I’m sharing Oatmeal Raisin Cookies because it’s one of those cookies that never, ever goes out of style. I make them many times throughout the year, but I really like to include them in our Christmas cookie round-up. The thing about a recipe like this is there’s no need to reinvent the wheel. I’ve made many oatmeal cookie recipes over the years and this one is the result of many little tw

This easy-to-make Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread is the ultimate snack bread recipe your family is guaranteed to love. Since we can find zucchini year-round in our stores, I make it at all times of the year. However, I probably make it the most in the summer when zucchini seems to be everywhere you look and my neighbors even drop it off because it grows prolifically in their gardens. This is a great recipe that is also easy for kids to make. If you have aspiring bakers then I

Halva is a traditional candy that’s found everywhere in Greece and the middle east. It is frequently served during Lent because it’s perfect for fasting since it is dairy-free and egg-free. I have so many memories of eating this with my family when I was a little girl, I would always try to sneak extra bites! One of the best things about Halva, in my opinion, is that it can be made in one bowl, no baking required. Now that my kids are older, I often put them in charge of maki

Banana Pumpkin Chocolate Chip bread is my favorite quick bread recipe for fall. It is easy to make, tastes fantastic, and is perfect for children. I always have a lot of bananas in my kitchen because my kids grab them whenever they need a quick snack. When I’m making this bread, I always use the two that are the most overripe because they are easy to mash, and this way they won’t go to waste and get thrown out. The pumpkin I use comes from a can. We love to carve pumpkins, bu

I love sharing my family recipes and today I’m sharing one from my Aunt Sultana. I was so happy when she wrote down this recipe for me because I’ve always loved these cookies. She is an incredibly talented baker and anything she makes tastes absolutely wonderful. These Lace Cookies are a great example of her baking mastery. I promise you will all love them as much as I do! The tricky part about these cookies is that are very few ingredients and they don’t bake for too long. I

Every parent needs a few easy-peasy snack recipes on hand for busy days. These apple nachos totally fit the bill and are a big hit around here. You can make them any time of the year, but we really get into them when we go apple picking in the fall. We always end up with so many apples! Since you don’t even need a knife to make these, I often hand the task of making apple nachos to my children. I, of course, supervise so they don’t go too overboard with the toppings! As the t
