I LOVE graham crackers. They are perfect for those times when you’re craving just a little bit of sweet. Plus, they’re pretty much essential when you’re making s’mores (though not so much if you make S’Mores Cookies, which you totally should). In contemplating what recipe I was in the mood to make and share a […]
Healthy cookies? I know, it’s an oxymoron. But trust me on this—these cookies are healthy. Or healthy-ish. I mean they have quinoa (pronounced KEEN-wah) which is this fabulous little seed that is high in protein and chock full of health benefits. STAY WITH ME. I know I just said there’s quinoa in these cookies, but […]
The first thing you should know about this recipe is, just like the Vanilla Buttermilk Cookies, these jam bars are hard to stop eating. I mean, you don’t think it’s going to be a problem when you’re making them, but then you’ve let them cool, cut into them, and you’re taking that first bite of […]
For the December holiday season last year, I made a slew of cookies. A slew, I tell ya. Eight different kinds as a matter of fact, handily a new record for me. Not sure if that’s not keeping up with the Joneses or if I went overboard but regardless, the holidays made for an excellent […]
It wasn’t until I was in my late twenties that I had natural peanut butter for the first time, and I remember marveling over the incredible peanutty flavor of it. The sandwich I had was reminiscent of a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup thanks to the grainier texture and stronger peanut taste. Color me SOLD. I […]
‘Tis the cookie season! And, oh my, but we have some fun cookies if you’re looking for inspiration for your holiday baking. I mean, Bec’s Apple Butter Rugelach look AMAZING (I am SO making those next week), and we have S’mores Cookies, Not Your Mama’s Chocolate Chip Cookies, and even Chocolate Chip Biscotti if you’re […]
A-what now? I know, Savory Oatmeal Cookies, this sounds freaky and weird but hold that thought. Before we roll on the cookies though, be sure to read Jen’s most recent post. My heart is broken in a zillion pieces for her and her family; I’m at a loss for words. Be sure to send her some […]
It’s funny, starting this blog, rarities like buttermilk and heavy cream and various flours and heaps of chocolate and etcetera and etcetera are now on permanent standby, at the ready for drop-of-the-hat baking. Which is generally my M.O. Life is hard, yup, and poor Mike suffers so. However, things like cream cheese are not, oddly […]
After the news came out last month, that hefty levels of glyphosate—the weed-killing chemical in Roundup—has been detected in breakfast cereals, granola bars, and oats, I decided it was time to get serious about making our own granola bars. (Cancer bar, anyone?) Because, I don’t know about you, but I don’t like the thought of […]
I finished writing my latest novel this week, and I am so excited about it I’m making biscotti to celebrate. If you’ve never made it, you are in for a such a treat. Literally. Biscotti making is ridiculously easy. Like, I don’t know why they charge so much for biscotti BECAUSE they are so easy […]
