Fuzz and I made a deal, that if she got the part of Annie in her school musical, I’d take her to New York to see Lilla Crawford play the role on Broadway. Well, guess who’s going to New York? Congratulations, Fuzz. And thanks for giving me an excuse to go to New York to [...]

Happy to have another opportunity to serve them, I decided to make the delicious vanilla bean cupcakes for today’s Bake for Japan event. But I wasn’t thinking. This was a bake sale not a school party, and at the last minute it dawned on me that I needed to package the cupcakes individually. Uh oh. [...]

Because I was abstemious with the coconut, my bars appear more like Magic Cookie bars with almonds. Either way, the recipe makes a great cookie.

Today’s recipe is adapted from Martha Stewart, and it had been on my “to try” list for ages. My concern was that these muffins/cookie things would be pretty, but not very tasty. Luckily, I was wrong. The cake part is very moist without being overly rich and there are enough add-ins to make it interesting. These are definitely going in [...]
