I wanted to share with you a guest post I did for The Pioneer Woman over at Tasty Kitchen today. The recipe is one I re-made from one of the TK members for Hot Chocolate Triple Chocolate Chips. The recipe not only uses three different types of chocolate, it also uses several packets of hot chocolate. How very creative, don’t you think? So jump on over to the post for step-by-step photos of this great cookie!

Have you ever just wanted a simple cookie? The type of cookie which comforts you like an old friend who calls just to say they were thinking of you. Whenever I’ve had a rough day, nothing is more therapeutic than baking cookies. For a reason unknown to even myself, all I wanted was a nostalgic cookie to remind me of my childhood where all my cares of the world were related to tv shows, going to the park, and playing with friends in the neighborhood.
Nothing brings me back to being 5 years old again than a simple sugar cookie. A pillow like softness on the inside and a tender crust on the outside, these cookies whisper, “Hello dear friend.”
So this morning I baked a batch of cracked cookies with sugar sprinkles. They’re called cracked cookies because the surface of each cookie has a cracked like texture. These aren’t the type of sugar cookies you roll out but are simply drop cookies which doesn’t require any effort on my part to make. If you’re feeling a little blue today, may I suggest baking a batch of these cookies? They will surely bring a smile to your face and uplift your spirit. Enjoy! [click to continue…]

If I could have given this recipe my own title, I would have called it “Death by Blondies.” If you’re staring at your computer screen wishing you could grab a piece of the Samoa Blondies from the platter, I wouldn’t blame you. Because I’m such a good friend, I had two pieces – one for you, the other for me. Yay me!
These blondies are inspired by Girl Scout Samoa cookies. Made with chocolate chips and coconut, these sweet treats will definitely satisfy your sweet tooth craving. As a warning, you should have a cold glass of milk nearby because you’re going to need it. [click to continue…]

Every now and then a girl needs a vacation, right? Well this week our family is on Spring Break. I’ve promised my husband I will not blog or anything else related. Instead I plan on catching up on reading books, which have collected dust on my nightstand. Another priority is making sand castles on the beach and playing in the surf with my kids. Who knows, maybe I’ll live on the wild side and take my husband up on his suggestion to treat myself to a pedicure! But don’t worry, I’ve left Savory Sweet Life in good hands while I’m gone. I have two amazing bloggers lined up to share with you wonderful recipes for sweets!
Today’s first guest post is from Hannah of HoneyandJam.com. I’m very excited to have Hannah guest posting on Savory Sweet Life. If you’re not familiar with Hannah, trust me, you would be doing yourself a favor by visiting her beautiful blog. While you’re there, soak up and be inspired from all her gorgeous still-life photography and yummy recipes. Today she is sharing a recipe for Chocolate Cinnamon Shortbread which I cannot wait to try when we return home. Thank you, Hannah! [click to continue…]
