I’m becoming more and more convinced that this child in my belly is not mine. Wanting non-chocolatey baked goods is just flat out WEIRD. I’ve made these cookies about three times in the last month? Clearly this child is my husband’s and he has taken over my tastebuds. I’ve always been able to appreciate non-chocolate baked [...]

This baby in my belly can’t get enough of these. We all know I’m normally a chocolate-fiend. I can appreciate good non-chocolatey baked goods but craving non-chocolate goods is just odd. Really. I spent a week craving sugar cookies (again odd since I’ve pretty muchly not touched anything sweet in months) so I finally caved. [...]

I really don’t know when I started liking lemon. I used to say I only liked things that were mildly lemony but I hardly think that’s the case anymore. It all started with Ina’s fabulously Lemon Yogurt Cake. These cookies actually remind me of that cake a lot. These are lemony delicious. The ricotta makes [...]

I have no idea when I started enjoying sugar cookies so much. Don’t get me wrong, I’d still prefer chocolate *anything* 9 times out of 10 but somehow these sugar cookies have made their way into my favorites! Sneaky little buggers! But if you give them a taste, you’ll know why. They’re delicious. Soft and [...]

I’m growing more and more fond of the peanut butter and chocolate combo. I used to hate it. And generally speaking I still don’t LOVE it like so many people do but I have come to appreciate the complimentary flavors. Some day when I really love the combination, I want to try BakingBlonde’s recipe which [...]

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I contemplated making something special for St. Patrick’s day this year… Guinness Cake or something of the sort but decided I’d contribute a little green to St. Patty’s day by making something with the key limes sitting in our kitchen instead. Hubby loves key limes and I always tell him I’ll [...]

I just wrote about my new favorite chocolate chip cookies but I thought I’d also write about hubby’s new favorite chocolate chip cookies. Everyone looks for something a little different when it comes to chocolate chip cookies. For some its that thick & chewy bakery like cookie. But I don’t like cookie dough and thus [...]
