A family recipe with plenty of ginger and molasses, a holiday cookie that will melt in your mouth!

How did the first almost half of December go by so quickly!? We only have two weekends left until Christmas.

Only two more weekends left to make those baking lists and get everything made!

Add these ginger cookies to your list. You’ll be happy you did.

These ginger snaps are the perfect texture. Nice and soft, with a crackled top from the sugar.

This recipe came from my Nanny, who I betcha got it from my gran-nan. My favorite recipes have been passed down from generation to generation.

Happy weekend, friends!

You know those days where you could eat an entire pan of brownies and be ok with it? No? Just me?

Well, you won’t feel bad eating half the pan of these Sweet Potato Brownies this weekend.

They’re packed with mashed sweet potato, peanut butter, cocoa powder and sweetened with maple syrup – pretty good so far, right? Top them with a mocha frosting, and you won’t be able to stop yourself from eating more than one.

We’ve made these without frosting before and they are insanely good, but with the frosting.. it seals the deal on these being my favorite brownies… ever.

Has it been raining where you are all week too? Hopefully you don’t have snow – yet!

We’ve had so much rain. And when it rains nothing is better than a big cup of tea. Actually, you can never go wrong with a big cup of tea.

I’ve made 3 5 batched of these cookies since the beginning of the month, they’re that good.

This is my favorite time of year. It’s not too hot, not too cold yet – but the sun is still shining.

Really, how could you not love when the leaves are a mixture of green, yellow, orange and red.
