Merry (almost) Christmas! I feel like I started celebrating the season super early this year and Christmas still snuck up on me! The holidays are always a busy time, but it is the best kind of busy. In honor of it almost being the best day of the year, today I am sharing my favorite …
Since I featured Samajé’s favorite Christmas cookie last week, this post is all about my favorite! This molasses cookie recipe is another of my Grandma’s seasonal staples. Every year, once the pumpkin bread fades away, the molasses cookies step in and take its place. I modified the recipe slightly from a family cookbook, realizing soon …
(Today is my mom’s birthday. Happy birthday Mom!) I can share details of last week’s project now! Last Monday, I baked over 20 dozen cookies, packaged them up, and sent them out to 15 family members and friends. Sadly, a few boxes did not make it to their recipients in time (before they went home …
Happy hump day! This post is about a week overdue, but better late than never, right? (That’s what I tell my chronically-late self on the daily.) Today I am sharing my favorite snickerdoodle recipe. It is adapted from a recipe called “Mrs. Sigg’s Snickerdoodles,” which you can find here. These snickerdoodles are the ultimate Christmas …
Unfortunately, I did not get around to posting my recipe last week. My cold turned into a sinus infection, which Maj then also picked up. It was a bit of a long week, but we are finally on the up & up. I plan on making up for the missed recipe this week, which means …
Another week, another ailment. Going from the chilly Virginia weather to the way-too-hot Texas weather did not do me any favors. This week, I’m getting over another little cold. Fingers crossed this is the last one for the season! I will be upping my vitamin C intake for sure. My Texas trip was awesome, minus …
I love chocolate chip cookies. Honestly, who doesn’t? Next time you get a hankering for a chocolate chip cookie, you could always go the easy route and use refrigerated cookie dough. I’ll admit; I do it sometimes. But, if you want an upgrade, these cookies are it. They take a little more work, but it …
I am writing this post on a plane to Austin, where I will spend a couple days at home before my family and I head up to Dallas for the game. I miss Texas! The Thanksgiving game versus the Giants was AWESOME! If you didn’t get to watch it, Maj had another 100-yard game (plus …
Happy Thanksgiving! I know, it took forever… Sorry guys. I am a procrastinator. But I have finally prepared my first recipe post! Since Christmas will be in full swing tomorrow, I figured I would share my favorite fall recipe before it’s too late. Let me preface this by saying I am not a pumpkin fan. …
I’ve struggled with writing frequently on my blog in the past because, quite frankly, most of the goings-on around here aren’t interesting enough to warrant their own posts. I have decided to start the “Tuesday Ten,” where I will share ten of the most exciting (or un-exciting) things happening each week in the Perine household. …
