Mexican Cookies

by Anna on May 22, 2012 · 2 comments

Traditionally, these cookies are for Christmas, but don’t worry. I’m not making them that far ahead of time. This batch is for graduation festivities, particularly, our Teacher Appreciation fiesta. I signed up to make “Mexican Cookies” (because brownies were taken) and decided to go with these.

Steviacane Review With Two Recipes

May 20, 2012

Given my past experience with stevia, I’ve been reluctant to use it in baking. Its mass is not the same as sugar, which tends to throw off the composition of recipes.

Extra Chunky Granola

May 18, 2012

If there’s a blog dedicated to granola, don’t tell me about it because I’ll be compelled to try every recipe and will subsequently be buried in mounds and mounds of granola. Then again, maybe not.

I never latched on to the new Pretzel M&Ms…..something about the pretzels displacing the chocolate bothered me, even though I very much like pretzels with chocolate. But now there’s this. The M&Ms people (or maybe this is all Ms. Green’s doing since she’s featured so prominently on the bag) have mixed their candy with almonds, [...]

May 13, 2012

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms! My gift to you is a photo of the inside of a Cream Cheese Danish Muffin and a tip. If you’re craving a Danish, buy a Danish. If a stiff, slightly dry muffin with a Danish filling and a center that looks like this sounds good, make the [...]

Chocolate & Peanut Butter Chip Bars

May 11, 2012

Thanks for all the suggestions on what brands and what type of almond milk to buy. I’ve officially finished the first carton and am ready for more, but until then I’m still stuck in this brownie/blondie mode.
