This is my take on Laura Bush’s… COWBOY COOKIES These cookies are the best oatmeal cookies you’ll ever bake! Give them to friends and I guarantee they will ask you for more! Note: the ingredients are in metric so that the measurements are consistent. You can convert to volume but they might not turn out […]
Lemons. The joy on a hot, sweaty day in the form of a glass of sour-sweet water. The delectableness of zesty cookies. The extra zing in a low country boil. The happy yellow of a subtle rind garnish. The refreshing scent in a reviving candle. Lemons are one of the most versatile fruits, used in foods […]
Today was my last day teaching garden classes before summer starts. What better way to close the fun-filled year than to make sweets with one’s students? ;-) The idea for this lesson was to introduce some unique & easy recipes using ingredients from the kids’ garden. One of my students suggested cookies. At first, I was slightly […]
I’m a sucker for modifying recipes. It’s both a bad habit and an adventure. I suppose I get easily tired of consistency and predictability? A trait I find ironic, considering my need for structure… Anyway, these cookies came from modifying an Oatmeal Raisin Cookie recipe from the back of my Kroger Oatmeal Box. But so […]
When I was little, my mom used to make the best cookie cakes for me and my siblings’ birthdays. We’d always suggest it over boring cake because…well…cake is boring! Haha, I’m not hating on cake—I love me some Red Velvet and Buttermilk Chocolate Ganache Cake—but seriously, her giant cookies were the bomb… Anyway, Mom not […]
Happy Valentine’s week! My husband and I don’t plan on doing anything, as usual (I’m biased towards telling him I love him every day, versus once a year ;)) but my high school friend from Tennessee is in town! We’ve been hitting a lot of great spots in Los Angeles that Cobalt and I haven’t […]
I’ve written about these bad boys before but never got a good picture; so here they are again and let me tell you – this was my third time making them and they never cease to amaze me how delicious they are! The cake is so fluffy and always moist with melt in your mouth […]
I don’t know about you but I happen to love fruit pie for breakfast. Paired with a scrambled egg and a glass of milk, a piece of pie makes a pretty hearty first meal of the day. You can argue the high sugar content, yes. But everything in moderation, right? And actually, these mini pies […]
I love breakfast food. When I have time, I enjoy whipping up a veggie omelette or egg sandwich. But my favorite is breakfast breads! They’re pretty versatile and you can quickly snap one into a Tupperware for the road if you’re in a hurry for your morning meal before work or school. This recipe for Cinnamon Raisin […]
I’m super proud of myself! Tonight, after two weeks living in our new house in Los Angeles, I finally broke down and was intentional about setting up a GREAT blog post. I’ll admit: I’ve gotten really lazy the last year, taking pictures of my inventions and such with my smart phone (Windows Nokia Lumia 920; […]
