Trail mix is one of my favorite snacks. I am not active enough to really need the calories and nutritional value it provides, but it’s still not as bad as chowing down on a bag of potato chips, right? Right… Not only is trail mix delicious, but it’s an easy snack to take along with [...]
On any given day there are dozens of recipes that come into my Google Reader from the food blogs I follow. It would be impossible for me to read all these posts, and even more impossible for me to try to make even half of them. If something catches my eye, I’ll open it in [...]
A bag of butterscotch chips in my cupboard greeted me (by falling out onto the counter) the other day and so I took this as a sign to make something with them. I found a recipe for pecan and oatmeal cookies, and so I just added the coconut and butterscotch chips because I have this, [...]
An undeniable craving for oatmeal cookies struck me last week. I rummaged through the baking cabinet…yes, I have a cabinet filled almost exclusively with baking goods and gadgets…and found a bag of peanut butter chips. Mmm. Then I went to the pantry and was drawn toward the jar of creamy peanut butter and the [...]
One of my favorite cookbooks is The Pastry Queen by Rebecca Rather. I won’t say any more about it except for this: If you don’t own a copy, as I have said before, go buy one…now! I made these quick and easy oatmeal cookie bars this past weekend when our small group from church came over. [...]
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. Cherry, Almond & Coconut Oatmeal Cookies Ingredients 1/2 cup shortening 1/2 cup butter, room temperature 1 cup dark brown sugar 1/2 [...]
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 [...]
These little “cookies” are pretty tasty and incredibly easy to make. Since these cookies are ball shaped they reminded me more of a truffle and less of a cookie. From start to finish, including the 30 minutes chilling time, these were ready in less than an hour. Pretty close to instant gratification. I used a [...]
I am part of a family who thoroughly enjoys snacking. That is why we needed some cookie bars up here in Durango for after finishing off all the cookies we had from Bread Bakery in Durango. They have some incredible cookies, a delicious ham and brie sandwich and an incredible goat cheese and thyme scone [...]
