Summer means rhubarb and that means time to make some Strawberry Rhubarb Oatmeal Bars. Hey friends! It’s been a while. If you’ve noticed I have unplugged for a couple of weeks. You might have occasionally seen an Instagram or Facebook post but no new recipes lately. I wanted to clear the mind and refresh the spirit. …
And just like that summer is about to end so I better get in one (or two) of these creamy S’mores Milkshakes while I can. Well technically summer ends September 22 – which is probably how long it will still feel like it in Alabama. I am just kinda over the hot weather right now. Bring on the cool, …
Buttery melt in your mouth Shortbread cookies with a touch of maple syrup to add a little more sweetness. Remember when I went through my honey mustard kick? Now obviously it’s all about the maple syrup. First it was this amazing Maple Bacon Gravy. Now it’s Maple Shortbread Cookie time. Normally I think of December …
Ever heard of butternut squash oatmeal cookies? No?! Do you have a strange look on your face? Well you should because when I got so excited about making these cookies that is exactly what I kept calling them. But no they do not have butternut squash in them just butterscotch chips. I was just too …
Think mini cherry pies without the fuss of the little ramekins – I mean who wants to wash more dishes anyways? Remember me? It’s been a while. I promise I’ve been here and haven’t left. I think I counted that we have been busy the last 12 of 14 weekends. Ya I know eww! Most …
Peanut and Cookie Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies might be a mouthful but as you can tell from the name they will be delicious in every bite you take! You know what’s not fun? It’s when you run out of butter and peanut butter when making these cookies (obviously two main components). I made 6 dozen …
This Apple Pear Crisp is the perfect dessert just in time for Thanksgiving. Man last Friday was Friday the 13th which normally doesn’t even register but after a week with 2 sick kids, a sick husband, me being sick off and on and having problems with my day job….I believe in Friday the 13th (well …
Today I am guest posting over at my friend Sophia’s site: NY Foodgasm. Go check out my Lemon Basil Olive Oil Cake…yes the one I have been talking about for…well let’s not mention how long I have been wanting to share this with yall. Can I blame it on having a baby, moving 8 hours …
I blame John Grayson for my sweet tooth. It all started during pregnancy. You know those pregnancy cravings women talk about all the time? Well I got them.
The combination of Milky Way candy in a giant cookie cake is reason enough to celebrate Hall Nesting’s 3rd birthday!
First I know that the Super Bowl is not until Sunday but I thought I’d have a whole week leading up to it (except Friday which is the Chinese New Year and I have a special post just for that). So T minus 4 months until our three musketeers take a backseat to the baby so …
How was your Thanksgiving? Ours was full of traveling, hunting, shopping, cooking and more traveling. But there is nothing like going back home to Alabama and Georgia. Thanksgiving came just in time too especially since I am back in the kitchen. This year I contributed creamed corn, spiced pecan pumpkin bread, apple pie, and pumpkin pie. As …
As I was working on this post early in the morning I decided I needed a little inspiration (ie enjoying one of these cookies). Don’t judge they are that good – I mean I rarely eat sweets and I am pretty sure this is the first time in my life I have had a cookie for breakfast. Maybe this …
First off – Happy Birthday to one of my besties Lindsey! What a great way to celebrate – champagne & cupcakes!! These cupcakes are so good that if you are not a big icing fan (like John) they taste just as good without the icing. But how can you say no to icing when they …
You are about to enter a SUGAR OVERLOAD after reading this post. You have been warned! Last month I participated in my first Bakin’ Friends. I decided to participate again because what is better than pen pals that like to bake? This was also the one year anniversary of Bakin’ Friends so the secret ingredient …
Last month I participated in Bakin’ Friends. This month I put on my baking pants again to make these Chocolate Crunch Bars with Bourbon Caramel Sauce.
I struggled with titling this cake recipe as well as posting about it for Beer Month. I made this for Easter and it was a hit! 4 weeks ago I would have easily called this Irish Car Bomb Bundt Cake but after the recent bombings in Boston my heart was filled with hurt and anger that I didn’t …
John went to Arkansas for fly fishing with some friends this weekend which left the dogs and me to fend for ourselves. Originally Mama was going to fly up and spend the weekend with us but that darn wintry mix hit us pretty hard cancelling all the flights. So what did that leave me to do? Well clean, organize, and cook …
The best way to describe these amazing treats are to compare the flavors to a Twix candy bar. If you like those you’ll love these! I kept seeing everyone’s break end yesterday but mine ended a week ago, so I got to reminisce about mine yesterday when I got to tell yall about our trip …
When I made the Salted Butterscotch Pretzel Chocolate Chip Cookies by accident last time I was pretty sure the next time I made cookies I would try my own thing again. And when I made it for the boys for Supper Club, I was delighted (okay that’s an understatement) I was beaming with joy when …
These cookies are well…the word that comes to mind…Magical! Weird way to describe a cookie I know, but if I, Lauren Hall, Queen of Savory foods (aka Queen of Cheese) think they are indeed magical, trust me they are! Think sweet, then salty, then crunchy, then chewy perfection! These are probably the best cookies I …
