Peppermint Oreo Crunch Cake Mix Cookies

December 19, 2018 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

I mean...is it cool that I'm sliding another chocolate + peppermint recipe in here two weeks in a row, or is that too repetitive? Does it make any difference if I tell you that these cookies are super simple and will fill your whole body with Christmas joy? It's honestly hard for me to even think of any desserts or treats during Christmas that don't involve peppermint in one way or ...

October 24, 2018 by Annie Chesson 1 Comment

Y'all. I wish I had footage that I could attach here of my one year old fiending so hard over this apple sauce. His little body just bounces up and down when I pull it out of the fridge and he just wants spoonful after spoonful after spoonful. I may or may not sneak a few spoonfuls myself, because this apple sauce is BAE - not just for the chillins. It's easy to make, it's healthy, and it's a ...
