Melted Witch Sugar Cookies
So in the last post I declared my love of Pinterest. This post is just another example of the shear genius creativity that floats around on that site. Melted Witches, seriously who would have thunk? The Melted Witch came from Confessions of a Cookbook Queen, and it could not have come at a more perfect…
Apple Pie Sugar Cookie Bars
Pinterest has changed my life. I am doing things that I would have never thought of doing on my own! I no longer receive odd looks from the hardware store guy, he just shakes his head and says, “Is this a Pinterest project?” I can envision ideas, then search for them on Pinterest for help…
Boredom Curing Cookies
For some reason our internet has not been working for the past two days. I never realized how much I depend on it until now. Nor did I realize how much we can get done without it! My house is spotless, my toilettes have been cleaned, and I have finally claimed victory over my endless…
Perfect Peanut Butter Cookies
Do you remember these Tagalong Bars that I made because I never did see a Girl Scout to pick up a package of cookies? Well, Girl Scout cookie season came and went and I still didn’t get my package of peanut butter sandwich cookies. So naturally, I made my own. Only these were better! Soft,…
Triple Almond Chocolate Chip Cookies
Last week I finally caved and purchased 2 boxes of Guittard Chocolate Disks. I was planning on using them in the famous Jacques Torres chocolate chip cookies, but after having made the homemade almond paste, I couldn’t stop thinking about how it would taste in a chocolate chip cookie. I didn’t want to waste the…

Potato Chip and Nutella Cookie Sandwiches
If you are anything like me, you over buy for parties. I always have a million dishes planned, but usually only get to making half. For some reason I am always worried that I will not have enough food, when in fact I usually have 3 times more than I need! So come July 5th,…
And More Blueberries
Around this time every year, my daughter and I make the quick trip up north to Temecula to harvest blueberries at a berry farm. Even though it is always unbearably hot, we always have a great time. It always amazes me at just how many blueberries she can eat. But hey it’s fruit right…so no…
