Wait! Here’s one more thing before I take a little 2008 break. This is an old oatmeal cookie recipe, but I scaled it down and added the metric weights. These were jumbo cookies, so I used jumbo sized raisins. Small Batch Jumbo Oatmeal Raisin Cookies 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (94 grams) 1/2 teaspoon baking …

This cake had been on my “Make Soon!” list for the past 5 years. I’m not sure why it took me so long, but I finally got around to trying it today. Unfortunately, I haven’t actually tasted it….unless you count the tiny pieces that fell off the bottom (okay, they didn’t really fall) when I [...]

It’s such a fun [...]

Peanut Butter Cookies

Here’s another small batch vegan cookie. I came up with this recipe yesterday after making molasses cookies. Since this was highly experimental, I made a very small batch – 8 cookies.

Last year, a French blogger named Cindy introduced me to the Galette des Rois — a popular dessert eaten in honor of the Feast of the Epiphany. Cindy’s version was made with homemade almond paste and it was excellent, but I’ve had really good results using packaged almond paste as well. The one in …

Here’s another bran/fiber muffin which despite being chocolaty and rich tasting, is lower in fat than the previous bran muffin. This time, fiber comes from Fiber One cereal. The original recipe is on the Fiber One web site, but I made a few changes and typed up my version below. This recipe only requires one [...]

Todd’s gone back to work, but Fuzz is home on break and we’re trying to keep busy. The housekeepers came (hooray!!!), so we left them alone and spent the morning at a teeny-bopper-girl-clothing store and Petco (or Petsmart….I forget which is which). We did get bake something sweet before we headed out, and it was [...]
