Good morning and happy Wednesday, friends! I want to introduce you to someone. Her name is Alice, and she is as sweet and real as they come. Her blog, Savory Sweet Life, is packed with family-friendly recipes and tempting goodies. But what really caught my eye a few months back was the pie dough recipe Alice shared. Well, it wasn’t so much the recipe itself but the concept. A no-roll pie dough? Did such a thing really exist all these … Read More

Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cookies
Last week, while catching up on Kath’s blog, I stumbled upon fabulous baking inspiration. Although there was no recipe, Kath mentioned that she had a fabulous cookie. A Cinnamon Toast Crunch cookie, or something to that effect. Those words planted a seed in my head that has been growing ever since.
