Is anyone in your house on Santa's Naughty List? Try these (very easy) coal candies to let them know Santa's not entirely pleased this year.

Caramel sauce is both easier and harder than I thought it would be... but once you get it, it's a quick and tasty gift for giving (and eating).

Chocolate-Vanilla Tuxedo Cheesecake


Vanilla Cheesecake with Chocolate Crust and Chocolate Ganache Topping.

Leftover Halloween Candy Brownies


With two six-year-olds in this house, we have entirely too much Halloween candy left over long after the holiday. Enjoy these brownies to get rid of your extras, too.

Homemade Cherry Pie with Flaky Crust


In the world of pie, I think tart cherry pie reigns supreme. But that's probably because my Grandma and I made cherry pie when I was little.

Picnic-Perfect Portable Pies


All the awesomeness of pie, but none of the need for forks. "Hand Pie" - Strawberry-Rhubarb version. Yummmm!


Chocolate Graduation Caps


These easy candies make a cute little treat for any graduate - Preschool graduates included.


Homemade Peanut Butter Cup Recipe


I got a recipe similar to this from my aunt in a little book she put together for me for my wedding. I altered it a bit to make it a smaller batch, but I love the texture and flavor of these peanut butter cups.


Homemade Peanut Butter Cup Brownies


Peanut Butter and Chocolate... like a match made in Heaven (or the Reece's factory - either way).


Strawberry-Rhubarb Sauce


I love, love this sauce on top of homemade vanilla ice cream. The best part about it is how easy it is to make. It only takes about 15-20 minutes start to finish!


Homemade Rhubarb Crisp Recipe


You can make this crisp with any fruit. I've done it with cherries, apples and a combination of strawberries and rhubarb. It's very versatile.


Strawberry-Rhubarb Bars


The first time I tried these yummy treats at a meeting, I demanded the recipe. Ever since, I've been in love!


Easy Rainbow Pudding Pie for St. Patrick's Day


Seriously, start to finish, it took me less than an hour to do all three of these! (Well, except for baking the crusts.)


Celebrate Pi(e) Day


March 14 is known as "Pi" Day.
And of course Pie is much more fun than Pi, so... Here's a pie for pi(e) day! Lemon Cream Pie.


Chocolate Caramel Cookie Bars {Egg-Free}


My grandmother gave me this recipe for Chocolate Caramel Cookie bars about 5 years ago, when, after the first bite of them, I realized that I could not live without making them again.


French Silk Pie


This French Silk Pie recipe is adapted from one I found in an old church cookbook. (Don't all of the best recipes come from an old church cookbook?)


Special K Bars


These peanut butter and chocolate treats are two of my sisters' favorite holiday treats. And I call them healthy because they have protein (peanut butter) and Special K cereal.


Pretzel "Turtle" Candies


These treats are very easy to make, even when the kids are involved.


White Chocolate Pretzels


These are my favorites, but until this year, I can honestly say I've never made them myself. They're SO easy.


Peppermint Bark


I'm not really sure why, but my husband really loves peppermint bark. And given how easy it is to make... I'm okay with that.


Mint-Chocolate Brownies


These brownies ARE holiday baking to me. Though I do make them at other times of the year, they are something my Mom made at the holidays, and I love, love, love them.
