I believe I've mentioned my six year old son's obsession with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches before, but I think it's worth mentioning again. Did I tell you he's obsessed? He would have a sandwich with every meal if he had things his way, which means that this little combination is on my mind often too. Sometimes I'll make PB&J inspired treats, quite often actually! When I tried these Fiber One Peanut Butter cookies recently, I just knew I had to try to capture that delicious … [Read more...]
Peanut Butter Chip Cookies Dipped in Chocolate
Every time I get a new cookie idea I go to my old faithful cookie recipe and use that as the base. My no-fail cookie recipe for chocolate chip cookies is seriously the best.

What goes better than peanut … [Read more...]
Peanut Butter and Jelly Pop Tarts
My 3 year old D-Man is obsessed with Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches. When I say obsessed, I am absolutely not kidding. He has to have one a day. No, I have to limit him to just one a day. Some days I'm able to sidetrack him, and then 4:00 PM comes around, and he asks, "Wait, did I have a peanut butter and jelly today?" We try to trick him and tell him yes, but he says, "No, I didn't have one. I don't feel it in my belly." Haha. When I said that he runs this house, some of you may have … [Read more...]
