Fun fact: Layered Magic Cookie Bars were one of th Fun fact: Layered Magic Cookie Bars were one of the first things I ever baked. Making them again with @diamondnuts makes me super nostalgic. Brought me directly back to middle school. Watch out or you may find me in butterfly clips doodling I <3 SOS on my binder soon. There is a reason this recipe is awesome: first, the cookie bars are incredibly delicious. And, second, they are SO easy to put together. Honestly, they are the PERFECT treat to make with your kids. Pecans and walnuts give the bars the best crunch, nuttiness, and heartiness. You could totally customize if there is a certain kind of jam you love, or a combination of nuts that the family loves. #ad Get the recipe below: 

Seven Layer Magic Cookie Bars

* 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
* 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
* 1 cup raspberry jam
* 1 cup shredded coconut
* 1 cup Diamond of California® walnuts
* 1 cup Diamond of California® pecans
* 1 cup semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate chips
* 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. To toast walnuts and pecans, spread evenly on a baking sheet or in a shallow pan. Bake, stirring once or twice, until lightly browned and fragrant, 7 to 10 minutes. Line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter and graham cracker crumbs; mix well. Transfer the crumbs to the prepared pan and using your finger tips, or the flat bottom of a small measuring cup, press firmly and evenly on the bottom of the pan. Spread the raspberry jam evenly over the crumbs. Sprinkle coconut in an even layer over the jam, followed by the chocolate chips, walnuts and pecans. Drizzle the condensed milk evenly over the top.
3. Bake until bubbling and golden brown, 30-35 minutes. Let cool completely in the pan. If lined with parchment, lift out and place on a cutting board. With a sharp knife, cut into bars.

One of the hardest parts about being a working mom One of the hardest parts about being a working mom is how little time you get to spend with your sweet bean during the week. Between wake up and getting to daycare, to pickup and bedtime it’s often an hour at best (which is also filled with making dinner, bath time, etc). I soak up ALL the minutes and the weekends are an absolute snuggle and play fest. It’s so tough though! If you are in the same boat, know that you aren’t alone and you’re doing a good job!! ♥️

This photo has nothing to do with this but I made the cookies for our neighbors and regretting not keeping one for myself right now. 😬🤣

Brainstorming dessert recipes for Thanksgiving and Brainstorming dessert recipes for Thanksgiving and it’s hard not to think about this Black Forest Pie. 🍒🍫 It was such an indulgent tart-sweet chocolate-y treat. It has a chocolate all butter pie crust, a layer of dark chocolate ganache, a layer of chocolate pudding, a cherry topping, and whipped cream. Oh, and a cherry on top! Recipe is from @emcdowell #thebookonpie! 

This one *might* be too rich for the menu but there WILL be pie (duh)🥧. What kind of pie do you need to have on your Thanksgiving table?
