Amazingly Chewy Oatmeal Cookies
Sometimes we have an idea for how a recipe should come out and we make it three or four times to get it right. Sometimes we nail it on the first try. We knew exactly what kind of oatmeal cookie we wanted – chewy, with just a hint of cinnamon – and we got it right away by using just brown sugar. High-fives on this one.
Kid Approved Green Zucchini Bread
We’d never suggest sneaking veggies into food to fool your kids, and yet, if they like this bread – which is very similar to carrot cake – it might make them realize that zucchini is actually very tasty!
Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzels

Emma’s S’mores Balls

Faux Re-Os
The packaged variety is known as America’s favorite cookie, but once you make your own you might never go back.

Given only a 70% chance of surviving the next 5 years, she endured countless treatments and procedures – she was quite a fighter. Through it all her top supporter and twin brother, Hunt, was by her side, making her laugh and encouraging her to play and have fun. He wasn’t going to let cancer take away his sister. We checked in with Hunt to find out how he’s making a difference in the world of pediatric cancer and so much more.
