I am just so excited for Christmas! Are you ready??  I’m sharing my Toffee Brownies today that are great for this time of the year.  Santa seems to really like them, too! Growing up, we would leave a slice of pecan pie and a glass of milk for Santa. I don’t remember leaving many cookies… […]

Cinnamon Rolls – A Family Tradition Cinnamon rolls are a family thing. My family really likes them and my Nana is really good at making them! Now that I have my own family, I determined that it was time for me to master the classic. I tried countless recipes from old cookbooks, the internet, and […]

We Love Pecan Pie. Do you?? We are a devout pecan pie family. By that,  I mean pecan pie must be on the Thanksgiving table as well as Christmas Dinner table. I remember many a years of leaving a slice of pecan pie and an ice cold coke for Santa because my mom assured me it was […]

I just realized I never FORMALLY announced my new business on my blog. Back in July, I casually mentioned on social media that I was starting a cookie business. That was such a mild way of putting what we have actually created with The Cookie Society. Yes, we sell cookies but they aren’t just any […]

I was actually looking to recreate a popular lemon bar that’s just too expensive to justify buying often, but I ended up with this winner! This lemon poppy seed granola is incredibly versatile. It makes great no-bake granola bars but also toasts up beautifully in the oven and is the perfect topping for granola, fresh […]

I love banana pudding but only make it once or twice a year. Let’s be real- it’s not the healthiest dessert. Well, all that is about to change! This single serving skinny banana pudding will allow me to INDULGE in this summer classic whenever I please. What’s great about this Skinny Banana Pudding is that […]

It’s about time I share another cookie recipe― My business cards even says cookie extraordinaire– I need to live up to my self- appointed title. I already have a mini chocolate chip cookie recipe on my blog, FIND IT HERE. But those are more reminiscent of the Nestle Tollhouse variety you can purchase in the […]

This is one of my favorite treats. Cinnamon Apple Fries: a single apple sliced, coated with pulverized graham cracker crumbs and baked in the air fryer. They are delicious on their own, but SINFUL when dipped in creamy Greek yogurt sweetened with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup. These apple fries are reminiscent of […]

Coming at you with ANOTHER Bliss ball recipe (have you tried my Strawberries and Cream Bliss Ball Recipe yet?) These Lemon Cookie Bliss Balls are one of my go-to snack when we want something sweet, already prepared, and healthy. I make a batch of these during meal prep or when I have an extra lemon and […]

Peanut Butter Nutella Crunch Bars. These things don’t even need an introduction. They are THAT good. Growing up, I remember eating my weight in homemade Reese’s Bars. It’s a classic recipe: sweet, creamy peanut butter with crushed graham crackers, topped with melted chocolate. Delicious but room for improvement.

Enter the Jovial Foods Culinary Getaway Sweepstakes!  This is a first on FirstandFull.com; Gluten- Free Chocolate Chip Cookies! Now, before you roll your eye in skepticism, these cookies are DELICIOUS. They are based off one of my other tried & true recipes and the husband was pleased with the results. I told him I was […]
