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 ...

Peppermint Bark Pretzel Dips

December 12, 2018 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Christmas treats! One of my favorite things about this season is making super fun, yummy little holiday goodies. There's just something about it that feels so seasonal and fun, not to mention Christmas flavors are the bomb.com, man. Things like peppermint and hot chocolate - it all just makes me a happy camper! I've been in Christmas mode for a while now, but I've had to be covert about it. My ...

Bourbon Brown Sugar Glazed Ham

November 15, 2018 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Um, please stand by while I overcome an emotional moment while g(L)azing (get it?!) at the crunchy exterior of this ham... - - - Thank you for your patience. People, you have not lived unless this ham has been in your life. This literally takes any ham I've ever had and slaps it across the country to a land where mediocre hams are welcome, because they ARE NO LONGER WELCOME ...

Peppermint Hot Chocolate Cake Mix Cookies

December 18, 2017 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Um, hello. Remember last week when I posted this Peppermint Bark recipe and went on and on about how I can't bake in the slightest? STILL TRUE but makes the creation of these cookies that much more miraculous. I mean, I 100% cheated by using cake mix, but I'm okay with that. Cheating is highly necessary for me when it comes to baking. On top of the chocolate cake mix that we use as the base for ...

15 Minute Peppermint Bark

December 13, 2017 by Annie Chesson 4 Comments

Hello, my name is Annie, and I am incompetent when it comes to baking. I rarely post desserts on here because I've been known to ruin a BOXED BROWNIE mix. Aka I can't bake. Hence why the first dessert I've posted on here in I don't know how long is literally melted chocolate that you spread onto a baking sheet...holllaaahhhhh - this is my kind of homemade dessert! And the cool thing is that ...

Off to Seattle!

December 21, 2016 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Seth and I are hiking our cold little butts over to Seattle tonight for Christmas! Today is my last day of finals at school (which I now know as a teacher can be just as mentally taxing on our end as the students'...WHEW), and we are catching a red eye to the big WA late tonight. So...it's going to be a really relaxing day/night...oh wait...FALSE. But it will be totally worth it. Seth's brother ...

Ultimate 5 Minute Homemade Hot Chocolate

December 10, 2016 by Annie Chesson 5 Comments

Yes. So much yes. There is nothing better in this world than a hot mug of cocoa warming your hands as the snow is coming down outside. Or, in Kansas' case right now, no snow but BITTER cold temperatures. It was fifteen degrees this morning. Some of you North Dakota and Minnesota natives may be rolling your eyes at me right now, but for this North Carolinian, THAT IS AWFUL. The Cackalackies weren't ...

Much love for ya, Thanksgiving, but you had your month, now get movin' so we can start celebrating the best holiday/time of year EVA.
