Old-Fashioned Iced Oatmeal Cookies

Posted on by wallflourgirl

Nostalgia never tasted so sweet! These old-fashioned oatmeal iced cookies are filled with warm spices & taste even better than the original that we grew up eating. Recipe very lightly adapted from Sally’s Baking Addiction.

This past weekend, I checked an unexpected item off my bucket list: I got to go to the one, the only…Super Bowl!

With an LA Rams victory on the horizon and high spirits flying all around, celebratory tailgates cookies were (of course!) the order of the day in our household. We decided to whip up a batch of these Old-Fashioned Iced Oatmeal Cookies, … Read more

Oatmeal Lace Cookies

Posted on by wallflourgirl

These Oatmeal Lace Cookies are the heavenly light delight you never knew you were missing–and take only 20 minutes to whip up! Overtones of brown sugar caramel blend perfectly with chewy oats and a crisp crunch.

What’s crispier than a newly-minted $10 bill, tastier than Chris Hemsworth lounging shirtless on the set of Thor: Ragnarok, and even sweeter than coming home to a hot shower & homemade quesadillas (courtesy of the one and only Wallflour Boy)?

100% these Oatmeal Lace Cookies. Friends, bookmark these now and thank me later–20 minutes later, to be exact!

Taste, texture, time. These cookies … Read more

Vegan Caramelitas

Posted on by wallflourgirl

When it comes to vegan desserts, these Vegan Caramelitas are among the best I’ve ever had! A golden brown sugar crumb filled with layers of chocolate and dairy-free caramel makes these quick bar cookies an irresistible addition to any dessert spread.   

The first time my college roommate caught me eating her homemade caramelitas, she suggested (rather mildly) that I could just take one and eat it if I wanted. You see, she had put them in the freezer for safekeeping and invited me to help myself anytime–but in my half-hearted attempt at self-control, I politely declined her invitation every time. … Read more

DoubleTree Chocolate Chip Cookies

Posted on by wallflourgirl

Enjoy the comfort of a classic DoubleTree Chocolate Chip Cookie at home! This official, iconic recipe offers the perfect chewy texture and taste that I savor every time I check into a DoubleTree hotel.

Growing up, it was very easy to decide where we wanted to stay when we traveled. My brother and I were real high rollers: we liked Travelodge for the Sleepy Bears’ Den kids’ room, (which came with a free stuffed bear you could take home). We appreciated a good stay at the Circus Circus in Las Vegas, since our rooms were just a hop away from … Read more

I’d almost given up on writing about Europe when we hit the crazy pre-holiday season at my new job a few weeks back, but just thinking about that summer adventure brings a goofy smile to my face and makes me slow down as I get used to working life. I don’t think I’m ready to write about work yet anyway, so now I’m determined to keep writing about Europe even if it kills me takes a few more … Read more

Strawberry Cream Cheese Oat Bars

Happy middle of Jul–wait, what?

Strawberry Cream Cheese Oat Bars 1--070616

I’m not sure how we’re already halfway through the summer–nobody ever consulted with me about this matter, or I would’ve veto’d it faster than you can say “pandas on a water slide”–but here we are, even so…and in spite of me, it seems!

These past two weeks have been unusually crazy ones…which is my way of excusing myself for the recent lack of updates. Whoops! Thankfully, we’ve finally hammered out our final plans for le big Europe trip, which is exciting because I hate travel planning with a passion, and more than one late … Read more

Lemon Curd Raspberry Crumb Bars for #SundaySupper

Lemon Curd Raspberry Crumb Bars 2--071815

You’d think that with summer vacation finally here and in full swing, I’d find more time to do summery things like frolic through lush fields of berries or buy fresh produce every week from the farmer’s market down the street from us. Instead, in the 4 weeks that have elapsed since my last academic conference, I have done goodness-knows-what with my time: running all of the annoying errands I never bothered to do during the school year, catching up here on the blog, and trying to earn a few extra bucks here and there when I can.

I never understood … Read more

Pumpkin Banana Breakfast Cookies

Posted on by wallflourgirl

Whether we’re out searching for our ideal partner, building relationships with friends, or already happily settled in a 50-year marriage, it’s no surprise that we spend the better of our lives seeking affirmation from the people around us. On a recent trip to Seattle, we gave ourselves plenty of “nothing” time–time to really back away from our busy day-to-day lives and think about what we’re doing, why we’re doing it, where our lives our headed. Every night at the hotel, Richard would look over and grin when he saw me just sitting on the bed and hugging my pillow, thinking.… Read more
