The Way The Peanut Butter Cookie Crumbled

It would seem that I’ve been having a short slue of serendipitous mishaps in my kitchen lately. First I have the uncheesecake pops from the Daring Bakers challenge and now I have crumbly peanut butter cookies.

Satsuma Almond Sammich Cookies

It was amazing I had a chance to fill these cookies. Fresh and plain, the almond biscuits coming straight from the oven proved pretty popular. I almost would have thought to leave them just for snacking although it is Christmas cookie season, so I figured a little extra sparkle was in order. Setting...

Ghoulish Goodies

Before leaving for vacation, my daughter was very concerned about the notion of being away for Halloween. Never one to pass on a party myself, we decided to throw a little pre-dinner soirée for our little fairly princess and her guests. With thirteen members of the 4 and 5 year old set, I knew I’d...
