Treats by Tess, Barnstead, NH (2026)

🍞 OVER SIX DOZEN BREAD BOWLS, A POT OF CORN CHOWDER, AND ABSOLUTELY NO SELF CONTROL! 😂

Good morning, my little troublemakers! ❤️

Things around Treats by Tess are about to look like a Sunday afternoon at Grandma’s house when half the neighborhood showed up hungry and nobody thought to call first! 😂

Today’s adventure starts with making OVER SIX DOZEN homemade bread bowls for a customer order! And naturally, a few of those little beauties will be staying right here because the cook has to eat too! 😉

Which brings me to tonight’s supper! A big ol’ pot of homemade creamy corn chowder, served in fresh bread bowls, because why dirty a perfectly good soup bowl when you can EAT the darn thing?! 🤣🍲

And somewhere between all this kneading, rising, stirring, and carrying on, I’ve still got desserts to bake!

At this rate, there’s going to be enough flour flying around to make the Pillsbury Doughboy file a complaint! 😂

Back in Grandma’s day, nobody worried about carbs. You ate your bread, buttered it twice, cleaned your plate, and if you were still hungry, Grandma handed you another biscuit! ❤️

Around here, we’re keeping those old fashioned traditions alive, one buttery, carb loaded, homemade mess at a time!

Now tell me something…

Are you eating your corn chowder out of a regular bowl, or are you joining me in eating the evidence?! 😂🍞

Some seasons of life leave us with more than memories. They leave us with stories, laughter, lessons, and people who become part of who we are. ❤️

Looking back through these photos reminds me just how much life changes while we’re busy living it.

We’ve celebrated, laughed until we cried, made memories we didn’t even realize would become so precious, and watched the years go by a whole lot faster than we ever imagined.

Some faces take us back. Some moments make us smile. And some memories remind us just how lucky we were to have been there.

As one chapter winds down and another begins, I’m carrying all the love, laughter, and beautiful chaos right along with me.

Here’s to the memories we’ve made, the people we love, and all the wonderful things still waiting around the corner. ❤️

And believe me, this is only a little glimpse into our story! I’ve got a whole lifetime of family history, memories, and wonderful people to share. As time goes by, I’ll be sharing more pieces of our lives, both old and new. So if you don’t see yourself in this little collection, don’t you worry! There are so many more stories and memories waiting to be told, and I wouldn’t want anyone thinking they’ve been forgotten. ❤️

The best parts of life aren’t always planned. Sometimes they’re just the moments we were lucky enough to live. 🥰

🍫 Nothing makes this baker happier than hearing from a customer who says our Nothing But Trouble cake is OUT OF THIS WORLD! 🚀❤️ You know who you are!!

I knew that cake was trouble, but I didn’t realize it was leaving the planet! 🤣

Thank you so much for the sweet message and for supporting Treats by Tess! ❤️

Maybe this one should make another appearance this week, what do you think?!

Just like Grandma used to make… only with a little more sass! 😉

☕❤️ SUNDAY MORNING THOUGHTS FROM TREATS BY TESS! ❤️☕

I missed my Saturday post yesterday, but I promise I had a pretty darn good excuse! 😂

I was busy doing something that I think we could all stand to do a little more often. Making memories instead of watching the clock. ❤️

Yesterday was spent outside with family, surrounded by THREE fires, guitars playing, people singing, fireworks lighting up the sky, and some karaoke performances that probably should’ve stayed around the campfire! 🎸🔥🎤😂

And just when you thought all of that was enough entertainment for one evening, the elusive family Tigger came bouncing out of the woods! 🐯🤣 Now, I can't speak for everybody else, but when a grown man shows up to a family gathering dressed as Tigger, you KNOW you've got the right kind of crazy in your family! 😂❤

There was laughter, love, storytelling, and the kind of togetherness that reminds me so much of the good old days.

You know, back when getting together didn’t require a special occasion. When somebody grabbed a guitar, somebody else started singing, and before you knew it, half the family was laughing so hard they couldn’t catch their breath.

And somewhere in the middle of all that family bonding, a few relatives nearly started a family feud over a box of Treats by Tess goodies! 🤣🍪

Nothing says family love quite like being willing to throw your own flesh and blood under the bus for the last homemade treat! 😂

But sitting here this Sunday morning, thinking about yesterday, I’m reminded that the best things in life really haven’t changed much.

A warm fire. Good music. Homemade food. People you love. Stories you’ve heard a hundred times but still laugh at like it’s the first.

Those are the moments that become the memories we’ll talk about years from now. ❤️

And if yesterday taught me anything, it’s that you can put three fires in a yard, but apparently you still can’t keep the peace when there’s only one box of baked goods! 🤣

🏈❤️💛 AND SPEAKING OF SUNDAY… YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS!!

It’s FOOTBALL TIME, BABY!! And this girl is ready to cheer on her Kansas City Chiefs!! ❤️💛

HOW ‘BOUT THOSE CHIEEEEEFS, BABY!!! LET’S GOOOOO!! ❤️💛🏈🔥

Happy Sunday, my wonderfully mischievous bunch! ❤️

Here’s to making time for the people who matter, keeping those old-fashioned traditions alive, and never being too grown up to act a little foolish with family.

❤️ Tell me something! Does your family still get together around a fire, play music, and carry on like the good old days? Or are we one of the few families still keeping that kind of fun alive?

🥜🍫 SOMEBODY CALL GRANDMA, WE’VE GOT ANOTHER TROUBLEMAKER IN THE KITCHEN! 😂❤️

Just when you thought things couldn’t get any more scandalous around here, I’ve gone and introduced another troublemaker to the Treats by Tess family!

💋 MEET NUTTIN’ BUT TROUBLE! 💋

And believe me, this one’s living up to her name! 😈

We’re talking layers of rich, moist chocolate cake, fluffy peanut butter frosting, and shameless ribbons of chocolate and peanut butter drizzled throughout!

And because I clearly have absolutely no self-control when it comes to decorating, I topped this batch with mini chocolate chips, Reese’s chocolates, and a little Halloween mischief! 🎃🍬

She’s rich, she’s nutty, she’s ridiculously indulgent, and she’s got enough going on to make Grandma wonder what kind of establishment I’m running over here! 🤣

But here’s the thing…

Nuttin’ But Trouble isn’t just visiting for Halloween! She’s moving in permanently! 😂❤️

The chocolate and peanut butter goodness is here to stay, but her wardrobe might change with the seasons. Because even a troublemaker deserves a fresh outfit now and then!

Now I need to know something…

Are you the kind of person who carefully savors every layer, or are you digging straight to the bottom like nobody’s watching? 👀🥄

And if you’re new around here, welcome to Treats by Tess, where Grandma’s old-fashioned baking meets a whole lot of sass, and you never quite know what kind of trouble is coming out of this kitchen next!

❤️ Follow along! There’s always room for one more troublemaker around here!

Just like grandma used to make… only with a little more sass.

🍒🍊 LORD HAVE MERCY, THERE’S A NEW H***Y IN TOWN! 🍊🍒

And before anybody starts gossiping, YES, she’s been hanging around my kitchen, and NO, I have absolutely no intention of making her behave! 😂

💋 INTRODUCING… TART LITTLE H***Y! 💋

She’s thick, she’s soft, she’s buttery, and she’s got just enough attitude to make the church ladies whisper! 🤭

Loaded with tart cranberries and creamy white chocolate, then shamelessly drizzled with a homemade orange glaze and finished with a little cranberry sparkle.

She’s sweet enough to charm Grandma, tart enough to keep Grandpa on his toes, and flashy enough to make the neighbors peek through their curtains! 😂

And that orange glaze? Let’s just say this little h***y knows how to dress for attention! 🍊💋

Now I have a question for all you respectable folks out there…

Would you invite this Tart Little H***y into your home, or would you eat her in the driveway before anybody caught you? 🤣🍪

And if you’re new around here, welcome to Treats by Tess, where we believe in old-fashioned baking, good laughs, and just enough mischief to keep life interesting!

❤️ Give our page a follow! You never know what kind of trouble is coming out of this kitchen next!

Just like grandma used to make… only with a little more sass.

🍂🍁 I HEAR MOTHER NATURE’S GOT HERSELF AN ATTITUDE TODAY! 😂

It’s one of those damp, raw, chilly New England fall days where the wind is getting ready to show off, the trees are about to lose what’s left of their dignity, and the leaves will be scattered from one end of the yard to the other!

You know what kind of day that calls for?

TURNING ON THE OVEN! 🥧☕

Oh, who am I kidding? That oven and I have a pretty serious relationship! I give it a little time to itself now and then, but before long we’re right back together, heating things up and making trouble in the kitchen! 😂

😂 “And yes, even on a chilly fall day, I’ve been known to throw the door wide open to cool that kitchen down! When the ovens working overtime, Mother Nature’s free air conditioning is just what the baker ordered!” 🍂🥧☕

But it got me thinking about our grandmothers back in the day.

Those women didn’t have the luxury of deciding whether it was a good day to bake. Ninety degrees outside with humidity thick enough to spread on toast? Fire up the oven! Freezing cold with the wind whistling through every crack in the house? Fire up the oven!

There were mouths to feed, bread to make, pies to bake, and nobody was standing around waiting for Mother Nature to get her act together!

And somehow, without fancy gadgets, air conditioning, or a weather app telling them what kind of day they were having, those women managed to put the most wonderful food on the table.

Meanwhile, here we are complaining because the kitchen gets a little warm or we have to wash the mixing bowl twice! 😂

There’s something about a chilly fall day, though. The smell of something homemade baking, a fresh pot of coffee brewing, and the warmth of the kitchen just makes the whole world feel a little more like it used to.

❤️ Maybe that’s why some of us keep baking. We’re not just making goodies. We’re trying to hold on to a little piece of the world we grew up loving.

Now tell me, did your grandmother have a kitchen that always smelled like something wonderful, or was she the type who’d put you to work the minute you walked through the door? 😂

🍪🤫 GRANDMA’S BEEN KEEPING A DIRTY LITTLE SECRET! 😂

And wouldn’t you know it, I went poking around in the cookie jar and found out what all the fuss was about!

Meet OAT SO NAUGHTY! 😈🍪

Soft, chewy oatmeal cookies with just a little crisp around the edges, a warm hint of cinnamon, and mini chocolate chips tucked into every bite. And because I just couldn’t leave well enough alone, we’re sandwiching those beauties around your favorite “original” oatmeal cream pie filling! 🤤

Old-fashioned goodness with just enough mischief to make Grandma wonder where she went wrong raising this family! 😂

Oat So Naughty!
Grandma’s Dirty Little Secret! 🤫❤️

Only from Treats by Tess, where Grandma’s recipes are respectable, but her grandchildren might be another story! 😂

☕🍪 I’M LATE! I’M LATE! FOR A VERY IMPORTANT BAKE! 😂⏰

Good morning, sweet-toothed troublemakers!

If you see a woman racing through the kitchen with flour in her hair, a spatula in one hand, coffee in the other, and cookies on her mind… mind your business! 🤣

Treats by Tess is feeling a lot like Wonderland today, with mixing bowls, cookie dough, busy ovens, and a to do list longer than Grandma’s grocery receipt!

I’m starting to understand why the Mad Hatter was mad. He probably had a baking schedule, too! 😂

And between the flour flying and ovens dinging, I’m also dreaming up this week’s Sass Box! 🎁🍪 Because apparently, baking all day isn’t enough excitement for one woman. Stay tuned, you tasteful troublemakers, I’m cooking up a little box of delicious trouble!

There’s nothing like the organized chaos, fresh baked smells, and good old fashioned kitchen magic. ❤️

Now, back to the dough, ovens, and coffee that’s been reheated enough to earn frequent flyer miles! ☕🤣

Anybody else fallen down the rabbit hole today, or is it just me? 🐇😂

❤️🥹 SOMETIMES IT’S ABOUT SO MUCH MORE THAN SWEET TREATS. ❤️

Well, somebody went and did it. They made this old gal get all misty eyed before I’d even had a chance to cause any trouble today! 🥹😂

I received this message from a customer this morning, and I honestly had to sit with it for a minute.

You see, when I’m in my kitchen measuring flour, cracking eggs, and making a glorious mess of things, I’m not just hoping something comes out of that oven tasting delicious.

I’m hoping it feels like home. ❤️

I’m hoping that somewhere in that first bite, there’s a memory waiting to be found. Maybe it’s Sunday afternoons at Grandma’s house. Maybe it’s sneaking a taste when nobody was looking. Maybe it’s the smell of something baking that takes you right back to a time and place you wish you could visit just one more time.

Because food has a funny way of doing that, doesn’t it? ❤️

And to know that a simple loaf of my banana bread brought someone back to their grandmother’s kitchen, even if only for a few precious moments, well, I can’t think of a greater compliment.

THAT right there is worth more to me than any number of likes, shares, or sales ever could be. ❤️

I named my little business Treats by Tess, with the promise of making things “Just like grandma used to make… only with a little more sass.”

And today, someone reminded me just how much those words really mean.

To everyone who has supported this little baking adventure of mine, whether you’ve purchased something, shared a post, recommended me to a friend, or simply cheered me on, please know how grateful I am.

You’re helping me do something I absolutely love, and every now and then, I get a reminder like this that makes my heart feel about three sizes too big. ❤️

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve apparently got some feelings to pull myself together before I get back to my regularly scheduled flour covered foolishness. 😂❤️

From my kitchen to your memories, thank you for letting me be a tiny part of your story. ❤️
