Every once in a while I make something and think, “Why haven’t I made this sooner?” That is the case with the following recipe. The truth is, I love quinoa. It is a super alternative to some of the standard starches served with meals. It’s loaded with nutrition and has a fun texture and nutty […]
Cookie Week 2013 continues with this light and crispy cookie. The cookie itself is thin and crunchy.

These are a great treat to be enjoyed with a cup of tea or coffee and will […]
Welcome to COOKIE WEEK! We are kicking off our 4th annual Cookie Week this week with the Classic Florentine. I cannot tell you how much I adore these cookies. I have sworn allegiance to the chocolate chip cookie, but this cookie might just make me (and you) rethink that. The base of the cookie is […]

Brace yourself. It’s going to be a bumpy ride. This treat of the week is loaded… with deliciousness. There is nothing light about it, but it is eight bites of naughty heaven. I know many of you are minding your intake of fried foods. I promise to bring you a baked doughnut in the future, but a little […]
