I love food magazines. I currently have three favorite ones – MasterChef Australia, delicious., and Good Taste. A few issues of each of these are scattered on my coffee table and I find myself frequently flipping through them. It seems that different recipes appeal to me on different days – one recipe that I don’t [...]

I don’t have a lot to say at this particular moment in time, but I did quickly want to share with you something sweet I made last week. It was a peanut butter chocolate chip cookie cake, which I found at Almost Bourdain. This blog is becoming one of my favorites – I found the [...]

Here’s a little scenario. You have a craving for something chocolate. A chocolate cake, or cupcakes, or brownies perhaps. You dig out your favorite chocolate recipe to make sure you have all the ingredients… you realize you’re out of eggs… you don’t have a block of chocolate… your baking powder has expired… oh great, you [...]

Do you like baking with your kids? Generally, I do not. I really want to let them help, to get them interested in baking and to experience the fun of turning a few simple innocent-looking ingredients into something amazingly tasty. But they’re too messy, and while I’m trying to keep them from pouring a whole [...]

Martha Stewart’s COOKIES book is simply amazing. I often look through the book just to look at the beautiful pictures. What I don’t like about the book is that most all of the recipes (and pictures) are already on Martha Stewart’s website. If I had known this before I bought the book, I probably would [...]

If you’re a lover of chocolate chip cookies, like I am, then you probably have your favorite recipe and you may even remember when and where you tasted the perfect chocolate chip cookie. For me, my favorite recipe is Cook’s Illustrated’s perfect chocolate chip cookies and I do indeed remember where I tasted my all-time [...]

I’m not sure if I was looking in the wrong place, but it seems I had a hard time finding a chocolate oatmeal cookie recipe. I could have just made up my own recipe, or a sort of Frankenstein combination, if you will, of a few different cookie recipes, but just as I was about [...]

Okay, so that wasn’t much of a hiatus, was it! Let’s just say that I guess I won’t be going on a hiatus, I just won’t be updating quite as often! Anyway, what did bring me out of my hiatus was Bakerella’s post about cowgirl/boy cookies. Her cookie-mix-in-a-jar was so adorable! I’m definitely going to [...]

Members of Costco look forward to their monthly coupon booklet, and if other members are like me, they get super excited when there’s a coupon for something from the bakery! Imagine how I felt when I saw a $2 coupon for Costco’s “gourmet chocolate chunk cookies” this month! The cookies came in a pack of [...]

This is just a very short post about combining two of my favorite spreads – peanut butter and Nutella. If you’re a frequent visitor, or if you just have a look through the archives, you’ll see that I’ve tried to combine these two spreads a couple of times in cookies, my favorite one having been [...]
