Chocolate Dipped Holiday Cookies
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #NestleHolidayBaking #CollectiveBias My daughter had a couple of friends over last weekend to play for a few hours for a “BFF Gift Exchange,” and because she’s just like her mother, she wanted to decorate for her party and create a dessert table to display our cookie creations. The girls had pizza for lunch and we made some chocolate covered cookies with fun decorations for dessert. It’s a quick and…

Sugar Cream Pie
Sugar. Cream. Pie. Okay you guys, help me with this. Who was like, “I’m gonna mix up some sugar and some cream and bake it all up in a pie?” Who thinks that way? (Ok, maybe I do. A little bit.) Seriously, this is just what it sounds like. Sugar and cream in a pie crust. And it’s fantastic. Oh, just a custard pie, right? I know what you’re thinking. But it’s not. There are no eggs in this pie! It is literally baked cream.…

Chocolate Gingerbread Cupcakes with Brown Sugar Buttercream
Oh, heyyyy. Remember me? That chick who used to post new recipes three or four times a week? Yeah, I miss her, too.

Snowball Cupcakes

The girls are still playing outside, we were able to decorate the outside of our house for Christmas without getting frostbite, and I’ve yet to really break out my winter coat. In December. Unreal.

Almond Snowball Cookies
I’m back! It’s been a long couple of weeks, starting with my daughter’s 7th birthday party, then Thanksgiving, then a week of refreshing the look here at Lemon Sugar. Throw in a couple of cases of bronchitis and let’s just say I haven’t had much time to spend in the kitchen.

Eggnog Cupcakes
When I was growing up, we were fortunate to be able to ride the school bus to our house in the country, where my Mom was usually waiting for us with an after-school snack prepared. One of my favorite treats was homemade eggnog. Mom used to make it in the blender, using farm-fresh eggs, lots of sugar, and I’m sure it was made with either pure cream or half and half…not the healthiest snack but definitely one of my favorites. Now that I’m older, the…
