Recently I borrowed a great cookie resource from my local library–Martha Stewart’s Cookies. I’m not in any way, shape or form a Martha fan, but I AM a fan of cookies and this cookbook is choc full of great recipes. Some of them are just ridiculously extravagant for my taste, but I was pleasantly surprised to discovery […]
Chewy Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

Chewy, Fudgy Triple Chocolate Brownies
Valentine’s Day is coming up. But we’ve been spreading out our celebration (mostly because our weekend is jam packed already). Yesterday we went out for our annual “hunt for the next great pizza place.” And today I decided to bake up the chocolately goodness I had been planning. I couldn’t decide what to make–truffles, brownies, […]

Peanut Butter Chip Chocolate Cookies
These may very well be the most amazing cookie of all time. Or at least the winner of the “chocolate/chip” category. I’m still a die hard Molasses Spice fan, I must admit. But that’s a completely different genre of cookie. Kevin and I had had an argument. I wanted to bake. It was my way […]

Simple Fantasy Fudge
This recipe is adapted from a Better Homes and Gardens posting given to me by Mrs. Shaner, a fellow church member. I had 1/2 cup of evaporated milk leftover from the pumpkin cake my mom made for Thanksgiving and so I ignored the indicated amount of evaporated milk (2/3 cup) and hoped it would work. […]

Cinnamon Snaps
When I saw this recipe on Pam’s wonderful food blog, I couldn’t help but try them. I love cinnamon! When I compared this recipe to Pioneer Woman’s Spicy Molasses Cookie I realized they’re almost identical–which the exception of the spices and the butter. Kevin loved these much more than the Spicy Molasses Cookies as they […]
