I was sold on this cookie recipe as soon as I saw the name of the blog recommending it: Butter with a Side of Bread. Sounds right up my alley, right? Boom. These were good. You could taste every ingredient. The butter. The sugar. The salt. The peanut butter. They were pretty much perfect. My… Continue reading World’s Greatest Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies
I love making sweet quick breads (that are really cakes) and calling them “breads,” because it makes me feel so much healthier- even though I’m not fooling anybody. This applesauce streusel bread is one of those love at first bite kind of breads. It is packed full of the flavors of fall- cinnamon, apples, pumpkin… Continue reading Spiced Applesauce Streusel Bread

We’re talking all day nausea, barfing, hospital and… Continue reading Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread and Baby #3

I do not like it on burgers, sandwiches, etc. I think it’s something about the meat-on-meat. I find it unnecessary. Now,… Continue reading Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers
Last night, I was watching my favorite show, Master Chef, and one of the guys on there royally screwed up biscotti. A biscotti is a twice baked cookie, and the poor contestant only baked it once. I haven’t made biscotti for a while, and I was inspired to make some. I found a great recipe… Continue reading Cinnamon Rum-Raisin Biscotti
