Strawberry Cream Cheese Tarts {Happy Valentines Day}
Looking for a lovely Valentines Day treat to make for your someone special? These Strawberry Cream Cheese Tarts use ready-made pie crust, fresh strawberries, cream cheese, a little sugar, and a heart shaped cookie cutter or two. I knew from the moment I saw their picture, that these tarts would be my ‘Valentines’ for my office sweethearts.

Homemade Peanut Butter Cups {National Peanut Butter Day}
As I’ve said before, I’m not sure who comes up with these ‘National Days’ but National Peanut Butter Day was just too good to let slip away. Since our most popular posts involve Chocolate (Bacon & Bread Bowls being a close second)…Homemade Peanut Butter Cups seemed the obvious choice.

Buttercrunch Oatmeal Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches
When National Oatmeal Month collides with National Buttercrunch Day…the world is a better place. This is my last full day visiting with my family in CT. During coffee & pj time this morning, my sister Sarah and my niece Maya and I came to a unanimous decision. Buttercrunch Ice Cream sandwiched between Oatmeal Butterscotch Cookies could quite possibly be phenomenal.

Apple Cranberry Crisp
Scrolling through my Lemony Thyme News Feed yesterday I discovered this recipe posted by Feastie (on behalf of Two Peas and Their Pod). My first thought was YES, I do have apples and cranberries in my fridge, purchased with good intentions, yet still patiently waiting for their time to shine. My second thought was THIS is exactly the recipe that my brand new adorable mini covered baking dishes are longing for. My third (and final thought) was….oh my, forget the first two thoughts…this Apple Cranberry Crisp sounds awe-mazing and I’m making it.

Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies {Topped with Sea Salt}
I may be a touch giddy today. It’s 10:55 am on a Thursday and I’m writing this post in my pj’s, gazing into my living room where the tree is a twinkling, the fire is a blazing, the dog is a napping, the coffee is a brewing, and the rain is a pouring down. And I’m about to make Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies Topped with Sea Salt. Can you see me smiling out loud?

Toothacher Bars {My most treasured family recipe}
Toothacher Bars. The name would indicate overly sweet and decadent, however these bars are so much more than that. Chocolate, caramel, and pecans make them decadent yes, but an oatmeal crumble base and topping is what makes them spectacular!!

Turtle Shortbread Cookies {Share the Love}
This week my office is doing a little holiday baking for our wonderful loyal customers. There’s something special about receiving a gift of home-baked goodness….so we shall Share the Love. I chose this recipe for Turtle Shortbread Cookies from bettycrocker.com because I have a soft spot for shortbread. For as many years as I can remember there have been Walkers Shortbread Cookies in my Christmas Stocking. I love them. Worship them actually.

Chocolate Covered Almond Coconut Candy Bars {Adventures in Chocolate}
Without a doubt, my favorite check-out isle candy bar is the Almond Joy. Coincidentally, the name I chose for Secret Santa at the office also listed Almond Joy as her favorite ‘sweet’ treat. And since Day #2 is to deliver something sweet I think it’s only fitting that I make these Chocolate Covered Almond Coconut Candy Bars (for her of course).

Chocolate Cobbler {Adventures in Chocolate}
Without a doubt my Adventures in Chocolate recipes get more views than any other categories I post to. So when my mom-in-law told me about a dessert she enjoyed recently….Chocolate Cobbler, I knew that would be the next dessert added to the pages of Lemony Thyme.

Cashew Brittle {Easy as 1-2-3}
I wish you could taste this Cashew Brittle before you read how stinking easy it is to make. You’d never believe it. You also wouldn’t believe that the recipe doesn’t call for a stick of butter.
