White Chocolate Almond Cranberry Cookies
I think I am going to make it my mission to find a way to put almond extract in more desserts. I love almond flavor! I almost always sneak it into sugar cookies. We got a box of Ruby Snap cookies sent to us in the mail and this cookie was in it. So good…
Lemon Cheesecake
Hands down my favorite cheesecake. Well, maybe key lime cheesecake at the Cheesecake Factory – but for homemade cheesecake, this lemon one takes the cake. Yea, I just said that! Not only is it delicious but this is a no bake cheesecake – did you read that right? Yes you did – a no bake…
Chocolate Valentine Cake
Valentine’s Day and Chocolate go hand in hand. If it is chocolate you crave for your sweetheart on this special day of love, look no further. We love Valentine’s Day here at the Hartlines – with a last name like that, it really is the perfect holiday. I love making it special for my family…
Carrot Ginger Cake
My very favorite kind of cake is carrot. If I am going to eat a piece of cake, it needs to have some good substance. Plain old vanilla or chocolate just won’t cut it for me. I love carrot cake so much that we chose carrot cake as our wedding cake. As a culture, we…
Hot Fudge Sauce
Every year for Christmas my neighbor and friend would deliver this fudge sauce in a cute little jar. I think it may have lasted about 5 minutes in our house. It was the most delicious fudge sauce I have ever tasted. I love ice cream but I have to say that I am not a…
Double Chocolate Peppermint Chunk Cookies
A great way to spice up your cookies for the holiday is to add some peppermint! That is literally all I did with these cookies. This recipe is actually already on the site as Double Chocolate Mint Cookies. Instead of Andes candies, in this recipe I use Ghirardelli Peppermint Chunks. I found them at Walmart. …

Luke was so excited the other day when I picked him up from school and had a couple of these in the car with me. He had requested them a few days before because they might be his favorite. Whether you have peanut butter lovers in your house or not, these cookies will be a…
Baklava
Baklava might not be your traditional Christmas treat, but it reminds me of my time spent in Jerusalem where I ate this, probably more than I should have! In 1999, I spent a summer studying abroad in Jerusalem, Jordan, and Egypt. It was an amazing experience not just for the things I learned but also…
Caramel Popcorn
I love crunchy caramel popcorn – this recipe delivers just that. If you are looking for the chewy, gets stuck in your teeth for a day kind, look away. This is the crunchy, can’t stop eating, I can’t believe I just ate the whole bowl kind. It is simple too! If you want traditional caramel…
Gingerbread Cake
This cake was a popular dessert in my house growing up. It was easy to make and we always had the ingredients. I would whip it up for our Family Home Evening treat on many occasions. It is best topped with whip cream. I have to say, my new favorite way to eat this cake…
Breakfast Burritos
Breakfast. Some people say it is the most important meal of the day. I am not a nutritionist or anything close so I can’t claim that breakfast is important for scientific reasons. I am human, though, and know that I need fuel for the day. So breakfast, it’s an important meal. It is also important…
Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Rolls
Fall is officially here and I am fully embracing all things pumpkin spice. I love that when the seasons change our food changes too! Isn’t that what we love about the holidays? Food?!? As we transition from flip flops to boots, shorts to jeans, and tank tops to sweaters, our food transitions from burgers to…
Crumb Coffee Cake
It is not too often that I eat cake for breakfast but when I do – I want a crumb coffee cake. My blueberry coffee cake is amazing as well as my cinnamon sour cream coffee cake. However, nostalgia always takes over and this one brings back all the memories. My sister and I were…
