I was catching up on Facebook when I spotted these cookies from Whole Foods. They immediately spoke to me, I tried to ignore it but I failed. I thought about them for hours and hours. I finally gave in, I drove to the grocery store and bought the ingredients I was missing and whipped up […]
Recently I rediscovered my ice cream maker. After brushing the thick layer of dust from the box I tried my hand at making Gelato. I was so pleased with the results that I started to think adventurous. Like most of my ideas, they seem to randomly pop into my head. I have no explanation for […]
On a whim I picked up a jar of almond butter with honey. I’ve never had almond butter but I’ve heard about it and thought it sounded wonderful. The jar with honey in it was particularly enticing, peanut butter and honey is a favorite combination of mine, especially on celery. I eagerly dug into the […]
There is a tall stainless steel shelf in my garage. It’s an extension to my kitchen. I store big bulky items like a crockpot, pressure cooker and electric roasting oven on it’s shelves. I also store items not frequently used like cake decorating items and items used only when I entertain. Buried in a box, […]
Happy Earth Day! Have you ever got an urge or a craving that you just couldn’t let go? The only way to shake it is to go ahead and make/eat it? I don’t know why I got this urge to make cupcakes. I normally don’t enjoy baking. Perhaps it was the Food Network challenge I […]

Lemon is one of my favorite flavors, I am more of a lemon lover than a chocolate lover (weird, I know). Mary at One Perfect Bite has been posting lemon recipes for the last couple of weeks, driving me absolutely crazy. Especially the lemony sweets. Meyer lemons have magically shown up here in Great Falls, […]
I have a problem. It’s been building for months, an insidious problem that won’t go away. It’s fat, it’s been building up and now it is about to bust it seams and get out of control. Something had to be done! The best treatment for getting rid of fat? Cookies! I know what your thinking, […]
We had our first ever cookie exchange at work. The deal was: bring two dozen cookies, of the same or different kind, you come home with two dozen cookies that someone else baked. Since I’m not a big fan of baking (except doing my duty during the holidays and other special occasions), I was excited […]
