A Family Fave

Here is the most traditional Christmas cookie from my childhood: the chocolate macaroon.  I experimented a bit with this recipe because I did not want to have to rig up a double boiler to melt the ingredients as the family recipe requires.  I didn’t have the time or the patience.  So I went to the [...]

Well we are gearing up to celebrate Christmas with my family this weekend, so I am back in the kitchen baking away! I bought a bucket of 30 Christmas cookie cutters at Bed, Bath, and Beyond awhile back and couldn’t wait to use them. Hopefully my 18 month old niece will get a [...]

Tasty Tostizzas

We live across the street from a Half Price Books. It’s a dangerous place to live. I feel drawn to the store, pulled in by the cookbook section, where I can peruse hundreds of cookbooks at discounted prices. A few months ago I purchased a copy of Pillsbury Best of the Bakeoff cookbook. I brought [...]

We had goat cheese for the first time about a month ago on a pizza at Spin! We were instantly addicted! So I bought some at the store this week and we used it on our pizza (see below) and had some leftover so I wanted to try a new recipe with it. I’d heard [...]

Victory

Tyler loves these cookies and requests that his mom make them every year at Christmas. I attempted to make them our first Valentine’s Day together back in 2004. It was quite a challenge to gather all the tools necessary for this recipe and then bake the cookies in my small dorm kitchen. [...]
