This is my son’s third Christmas and this year, I think at 2+, he’s old enough to understand the holiday. Because of this, I thought it would be kind of cool to make holiday cookies with him. I thought gingerbread men would be the ideal cookie because they look like little men and can be […]

One of the things I like best about fall is the temperature cools off enough to do baking. This weekend because the weather was SO awful I decided some baking was in order. The first thing I made was blueberry muffins. I love my grandmother’s recipe for these but I have to cut the amount […]

Next week I’m travelling back to my company’s home office. Which means this week I’m baking goodies to take to my coworkers. I had a request for something with peanut butter and chocolate. So I made Peanut Butter Blossoms last weekend. I usually bake at least two treats though so I’ve been thinking a lot […]

One of my favorite recipes that I got from my husband’s family are Spritz cookies. One Christmas he bought me the cookie press to make them. Since then I’ve been making them for Christmas treat. They are pretty cool and lots of fun. One of the best things about them is that you can make […]

It didn’t seem fair that I was making all sorts of holiday goodies and my husband couldn’t enjoy any of them. So I decided I’d make a batch of diabetic friendly Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies for him. What make these friendly for him? They use whole wheat flour, oatmeal, and flax seed Baking Splenda Sugar […]

I’m a big fan of chocolate. So I’m always looking for tasty new recipes that involve chocolate. I often make a double-chocolate cookie recipe. However, I wanted to try something new. Chocolate and hazelnuts are super tasty together so I decide that I wanted to make a riff on an existing recipe which would add […]

So a co-worker gave me a bunch of habaneros when I was in OH last week. When he said, “hey do you want some habanero peppers” I had no idea WTH I was getting into saying “sure”. These peppers were freakishly large – double the size of a normal habanero. Even more frightening was the […]

My fall CSA boxes started arriving this week and I’ve still got squash from the summer CSA boxes to use up. In order to make room for the new stuff that started showing up on Thursday I decide to make a nice fall squash bread last weekend. Last year at the holidays I made this […]

[singlepic id=251 w=320 h=240 float=left] So I had this brilliant idea that instead of making a special separate trip to the only grocery store that sells nice healthy wraps, I’d make my own flat bread from scratch to put use for my sandwiches this week. I wanted the dough to be full of fiber but […]

So I promised my coworkers lemon bars since I’m going to visit them this week. However, I got busy this weekend and ended up making them at 9pm last night. The recipe I was using comes from my grandmother and its really Lemon Pecan Bars. However I hit a couple snags when I went to […]
