It has been a little while since I made a batch of cookies, and it has also been a while since I used my beloved Golden Syrup. Quel nightmare! So, when the inevitable cookie craving struck the other day I went directly to the pantry to see what was available. I had already decided on [...]

First, HAPPY SAINT PATRICK’S DAY! Second, I need to apologize to you all. I realized this week, while making 15 dozen of these cookies that I have never shared the recipe with you. I am a bad blog friend, but I plan to make amends today! As with many of my recipes, this is a [...]

While at the store, buying the ingredients I needed for some lovely Chicken Enchiladas with Chipotle Sour Cream Sauce (recipe coming [...]

I have a recipe that was given to me by a friend long ago which is lovely on its own, but you know me and my propensity to tinker. Inspired by my Chocolate Spice [...]

I love to tweak recipes. Sometimes they are big tweaks, other times it is a small change with a HUGE impact. This is one of those recipes. In The Joy of Cooking there is a recipe for perfectly lovely Peanut Butter Cookies. They are traditional, with the crosshatch design on the top, in a way [...]

On a recent trip to visit my Great Aunt Ruby I had the opportunity to copy down a few more family recipes. One of the recipes was for an oatmeal raisin cookie made with coconut and cocoa powder. It sounded unique and I jotted it down to play with later. Well, later came sooner than [...]

Here in North Texas we have had something of a cold snap. By cold I mean temps that range from upper 40′s to mid-60′s. I know there are those who snicker at my definition of cold snap, but here in my neck of the woods this is December weather. All this cool weather has put [...]
