Chocolate and peanut butter, is there any combination quite so delicious? I'm a great fan of this combination and Reese's Cups and Pieces remain among my all time favorite candy. In fact, give me Reese's Pieces at the movies and I'll be happy! Thes (read full article)
I honestly wasn't sure whether I was going to be baking something new before next week. Early on Thursday I made a huge batch of Sugar Donut Muffins to take over to Karin's so she could include them when she visits the parks this week on her mission (read full article)
This recipe is based on one from Ina Garten's TV show. I've changed it up a little bit but the basic cookie dough is pretty much the same. This creates a soft and chewy ginger cookie with lots of wonderful spice flavors. Ina's recipe calls for the (read full article)
As I understand it, this little fruit cookie originated in Czechoslovakia and has become a staple at a festival in Texas which celebrates early Czech immigrants to the state. Regardless, it's a super easy treat to make with just four ingredients! Yo (read full article)
With Independence Day upon us, I thought I might be somewhat cliche and do an apple pie. Of course, the one I decided to do was actually an Alsatian Apple Tart. This classic dessert features apple slices sauteed in butter and sugar then arranged on a (read full article)
Oatmeal cookies are one of those "comfort cookies" that everyone should be able to make. There are countless variations out there and everyone will swear that this or that recipe is the best ever. Of course, that always depends on personal taste. I (read full article)
I have always loved Cheese Its™ and most of the various impostors. In fact, lately I really like the "generic" version sold at Albertson's. But, it seems that every year these little treats get more and more expensive. A large box of Cheese Its™ (read full article)
I'm a food history buff. I love browsing old recipes. By old, I don't mean "food like Grandma used to make" but really old, like centuries old. Some of those recipes are familiar and have made their way down through the ages to us as some of our fa (read full article)
Yes, this seems like something I should make in the Winter months. But, these delightful cookies caught my eye recently and considering we're climbing back out of the 90's and should be well over 100° by mid-week, I thought a little "snow" might mak (read full article)
Shortbread is such a deliciously easy thing to make. It's tasty and with a little creativity can be quite the treat. Most of us think of Pecan Sandies when we think of pecan shortbread, but what about a shortbread actually made with pecan meal or pec (read full article)
"Sometimes you feel like a nut! Sometimes you don't!" While I was making these cookies that old jingle from the 1970's kept running through my head. I used to love Mounds and Almond Joy. I guess I still do, although I don't often buy them! Tonight I (read full article)
A little cookie, a little cake, a little streusel, a little pie - face it, this one is a little bit of everything to everyone! This great bar cookie is an old Southern Living recipe that they feature in their Classic Southern Desserts cookbook. It (read full article)
I believe they are now known as "Do-Si-Dos" or some such, but when I was younger they were just Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies and I loved them. I loved them so much I'd have gladly joined the Girl Scouts to get my fill of them! To this day, they ar (read full article)
I've been trying to use up a bunch of limes and lemons I bought recently. I had originally thought of doing a key lime pie and maybe another lemon meringue but never got around to it. Last night, I started thinking about a recipe I love for lemon c (read full article)
I'm continuing on my coconut kick, rather to Michael's dismay since coconut is not his "favorite flavor." Oh well, I like it and had a big bag of coconut in the pantry that I wanted to get used up. So, as I was browsing recipes for coconut dishes I (read full article)
My best friend from high school is quite the beach bum. Missy lives for the beach and she even has a business making beach inspired jewelry. Her beautiful little charms and pendants are perfect for a "dressy/casual" evening at your favorite beachside (read full article)
Did you know the founder of the Girl Scouts was from Savannah, GA? Somewhere in the back of my mind I had that bit of trivia but had pretty much forgotten it until browsing my new copy of Southern Desserts by the folks at Southern Living Magazine. (read full article)
I raved about Pate Sablee in the post on the Daring Baker's Challenge. I really liked the buttery and crumbly texture of this cookie/pastry and it struck me as a cross between a butter cookie and shortbread. So, when my copy of Baking by James Pete (read full article)
I'm in the midst of planning for our annual "May Party." This has become a tradition since moving to Arizona. Our first one was held about two months after moving into our original apartment/condo here to bring together our new Arizona friends. Then (read full article)
A little shortbread, a little chocolate, a little toffee - who could ask for anything more? As I pondered whether my first Daring Baker Challenge will be an utter disaster (it's shaping up that way at the moment) I decided I needed to lighten my spir (read full article)
