Heeeeeey! Woah… that’s a big cookie on the screen. Y’all know those sugar cookies that come in the plastic clamshell container? You know the ones whose name sound like “soft house”? Of course you do… anyway- I always had a love hate relationship with them. First bite: I love. Third bite-…

cherry-almond biscotti and other hard things in life
Spell check does not like the word biscotti. It underlines it for me, in its bright red zig zag pattern, mocking my confidence in cookies. Like the mother in law that still remembers the times you did not hold to her standards, spell check is there: saying “that is wrong”. Well, spellcheck, it’s…
almond vanilla chip cookies
It’s been awhile. You deserve cookies. I am peering out from under my rock, finally getting back into the comfort of routine. As much as people complain about the staleness of routines, I embrace the comfort of the mundane, the blandness of the everyday norm. But, just because it’s the everyday, run of…
Carrot cake whoopie pies
It’s officially spring …but it has felt more like summer in my area. 86 degrees with high humidity = bad hair and craving springtime treats. Of course, when I think of spring, I think of bunnies, and when I think of bunnies, I think of carrots and when I think of carrots…
lemon pastry cremes girl scout cookies

Childhood favorites don’t need to should never be left in childhood. There is nothing wrong with walking barefoot in the grass, playing in the rain or drawing with crayons. Somewhere along the lines of growing up; a line gets crossed and childish ways are set aside, and we move into other realms of…
cupcakes and cannonballs
Cupcakes. Innocent. Sweet. A little more than a cookie and a little less than a cake. That in-between dessert. Kind of like a pre-teen. Seriously, what happens between ages 11-13? !This is the first time I have raised a pre-teen to teen girl and the morphing process is like a cupcake turning into…
pecan pie bars
I’m a fan of desserts that you don’t have to dirty dishes to eat. Ones you can grab with a napkin and nibble on as your favorite Charlie Brown special is on the T.V. Yes, Charlie Brown. He’s the man. I’m also a fan of buttery pecans in a caramel base with just…
cheesecake brownies
My husband was so happy I made these. Not because of what they are, but because of where I found the recipe. All afternoon, I heard him say: “You finally made one of those recipes….”
