When Ben ate one of these he practically fell over, overtaken by deliciousness. The tart cherries, sweet coconut, crunchy almonds and oats make this an incredible cookie. I have nothing else to say. Enjoy.

This past weekend Ben and I went to Angel Fire, New Mexico and spent all day Saturday skiing. That’s right. I skied for the first time in 10 years. And get this, I did not fall, even once. Maybe that is because I played it safe and stayed on greens and easy blues. I was pretty proud [...]
Our good friends Tim and Jackie had us over for the Saints v. Colts game Sunday night. There was so much food! The spread included black bean chili, queso, chips & salsa, veggies, layered Tex Mex salad, hot wings, and cookies. This is one of the main reasons I love the Superbowl.
I brought the yummy layered salad and [...]
Bethenny Frankel was on the Today Show yesterday talking about her cookbook, The Skinny Girl Dish, and I was inspired to search for a healthy dessert recipe to try out. I found a recipe for banana oatmeal cookies that sounded very tasty. To my dismay, I did not have all the ingredients. So I searched [...]
For years before my sisters starting getting married, having babies and spending Christmas with their in-laws, we made gingerbread houses together. We did all of it: made the gingerbread dough, baked all the pieces, assembled the house, and decorated the house using nothing but edible candies, chocolate, etc. We would spend the days before Christmas, and [...]
These little, unassuming bite-size goodies made quite an impression last weekend. I brought them to a Christmas party where they were completely devoured and raved about. I saw one of the party guests 2 days later and she asked me for the recipe. I hadn’t had such a great response to a dessert in, well…ever! I [...]
This past Saturday I hosted and attended my first cookie exchange! It was a really fun afternoon of visiting with friends, and snacking on delicious cookies. I ended up with more than 4 dozen of eight different types of cookies, and I only had to make one kind. This is a pretty sweet deal. Get [...]
Happy Halloween! I made these cookies for the trick-or-treaters at Ben’s office. I thought they would be more fun than little bags of candy, and too cute for words. I also thought they would be quick and easy. Cute, yes. Quick and easy, kinda.
This Halloween treat can be made in a day, but I spread [...]
There is something very special in store for the trick-or-treaters at BMWB this Friday! To prepare for this treat, I had to make some chocolate sugar cookies. These cookies were easy to put together, did not require any chilling, or rolling, and tasted sweet, crunchy and rich. They will also be the perfect shape and [...]
The 2009 October Daring Bakers’ challenge was brought to us by Ami S. She chose macarons from Claudia Fleming’s The Last Course: The Desserts of Gramercy Tavern as the challenge recipe.
One of my best memories is eating a traditional French macaron at Harrods in London 12 years ago. A delicate, light, crunchy exterior with a [...]
