Lemon Drop Cookies Recipe With McCormick

by 25 Comments

When it comes to things I enjoy doing, one would definitely be baking. There are those days when I would rather order take out, but for the most part, I enjoy cooking for my family and baking up some tasty treats that will have them asking for more. One cookie that I really enjoy cooking for myself + the family is my lemon drop cookies.

Since I kind of find baking like a hobby, I am always trying to come up with my own recipes as well as find recipes online that have already been tried that I know are going to be good. I have a huge collection of cookbooks, but finding a recipe online always seems easier. One website that I have bookmarked for when I am looking for a recipe is the McCormick website. Not only do I LOVE their products, they also have a great collection of recipes that you can browse on their website. Take a peek at my McCormick spice collection:

On the McCormick website, you will find the “My Look Book” feature that allows you to bookmark the recipes on their site that you want to be able to find easily. When you click on the “My Look Book” icon on their website, you will be taken you a page with your recipes you selected. Below is a quick screenshot of the my “My Look Book” on the McCormick website:

My Cute Peep Cupcakes

by 3 Comments

With all the different food pictures with peeps going around the internet, I had to have fun today too with some peeps too! We took the kids to the park this morning for an egg hunt, then I went home to get crafty in the kitchen.

With some homemade cupcakes, icing and a package of peeps, you can create such a cute little centerpiece that won’t take long to get devoured.

They are not too fancy, but I definitely impressed my little ones.   🙂
