No TWD for me this week

I know I've missed the last few weeks of baking with the Tuesdays with Dorie group, however I'm not going to be baking this week either. I'm just getting over a rough bout of either stomach flu or food poisoning. Today is the first day I actually feel back to (mostly) normal! I need to hit the grocery store (for our very bare pantry!!) and am probably not going to have time to make this week's recipe. Bridget of The Way the Cookie Crumbles picked Lemon Cup Custard. Next week is Spring Break for us, and Kade's birthday party is on Sunday, but hopefully I'll be back to baking with the girls next week!! In the meantime, check out what the other TWD bakers did this week!!

Oh, gosh, I hope you are feeling better! Good luck with the grocery shopping, it can be so darn tiring.

Chocolate-Coated Marshmallow-Filled Moon Pies

Back in 2011, I participated in a project called Frosting for the Cause. My contribution was Chocolate-Coated Marshmallow-Filled Moon Pies. Unfortunately, it seems as though that blog no longer exists. In light of that, I am re-posting the story and recipe here, just in case anyone comes looking for it. :) Originally posted Feb 22, 2011 When I first heard about Frosting for the Cause via Twitter, I knew I had to join in. I was so excited to get the email letting me know when I would be posting! I feel very honored to be a part of this. Later, when I sat down to write my post, the emotions really hit me. My grandmother has battled cancer not once, but twice in her life. And thankfully, both times, she has won. She’s a tough old lady! Just don’t tell her I called her old. And she is not the only woman in my life to have been touched by cancer. A dear friend of mine, Denyse, recentl...

Hello Dolly Cookie Bars

Several years ago, my mom gave me an old cookbook, it was hers but I'm not sure she ever used it, Favorite Recipes from Southern Kitchens: Desserts . I love this cookbook! I thought it would be great to go through it and pick a recipe or two to use for this year's 12 Weeks of Christmas Treats series. For this week, I chose a super easy one, Hello Dolly Cookies. I have absolutely no idea where the name came from. I'm really not sure I've ever eaten one before, though the ladies I shared the finished product with knew about them! I did an internet search too, and it seems they go by a lot of names, including Magic Layer Bars. Honestly, they are so easy to make. There's no mixing required. Kids could absolutely help with these. The cookies smelled divine while they were baking, and I barely waited for them to cool before trying one. At first I thought "these taste almost like German chocolate cake", then "or d...

Thick and Chewy Snickerdoodles

I admit, I love snickerdoodles. Cinnamon and vanilla? Yes, please. What’s funny is that I never really had them much as a kid, just occasionally in the school cafeteria. I know, ew. Anyway, snickerdoodles were one of the first cookies that the Munchkin helped make when he was little. He could help dump everything in the mixer (or “loud noise” as he would call it!) and then it was fun for him to roll the balls of dough in the cinnamon sugar before putting them on the baking sheet. Even since then, my go-to recipe for snickerdoodles has been this one by Emeril. It’s a great recipe, baking up a thin, crispy cookie (at least when I make them!). However, I was looking for something different this time, something thicker and chewier. I found this recipe from the blog How Sweet it Is . I decided to try it, and while I did keep the ingredient list the same I changed up the method a bit to suit me better. ...
