Back in the day, my friend used to host a cookie exchange party every year.  Everyone would bring about 40-50 cookies and the recipe printed out on an index card.  Each person would get to take 2 of each type of cookie as well as the recipe for each cookie.  It was an awesome party [...]

After going for a few months (several years in kitchen prep time) without a food processor, I can finally say that my kitchen is Food Processor equipped! To break in my new toy, my man, Chickpea, decided to help out!  Inspired by nothing but the season and the chocolate chips hiding in the back of [...]

Cardamom Oatmeal Fig Cookies

Chris told me recently that “It’s not quite dessert unless there’s chocolate in it.”  Is there any question as to why I adore him? So I was all set to make some sort of chocolatey dessert to surprise him with after a long, hard day of work, when I found that I was out of [...]

When I was younger, my grandparents used to take all of us grandkids on huge camping trips every summer.  These camping trips hold some of my fondest memories of my cousins.  There was a large rock in the middle of the lake and we all had the goal to be able to climb up on [...]

Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookies

My mom used to keep candy in her purse.  She had various flavors of lifesavers- rootbeer, butterscotch, mint, and the classic rainbow of fruit.  She had hard candies and soft candies. Sometimes there were bags of m&m’s, Reese’s Pieces, or Skittles.  At Halloween time, you can bet there were a variety of halloween candies nestled [...]

Growing up, my mom and I would make cookies from one of those pre-made Pillsbury “Chocolate Chip Flavored” Cookie Dough rolls.  We would make them in the evening and by the next morning (after I ate the last couple for breakfast), they were all gone.  This is due to the fact that we would leave [...]

Happy Independence Day to all my U.S. friends! Back in northern California, Gordon, one of my old personal training clients (whose daughter later became one of my best friends) used to have a huge 4th of July party every year.  There was a huge potluck, swimming, a mini-golf competition, way too much alcohol, and then [...]

Everything/Nothing Cookie

Do you ever hold onto things in your life that are not useful to you?  Perhaps it is a pair of jeans that you no longer wear, but keep because at one point, they looked really great.  Maybe it’s the closet, full of baseball cards you’re holding onto because they might be worth something someday.  [...]

Vegan M&M Cookies

One of my earliest memories of grocery shopping is riding around in the shopping cart, eating an M&M cookie from Safeway’s (in Southern California, they’re Von’s) bakery, while my mom did her shopping.  M&M cookies were always the fun cookie, a very special treat.  You could get chocolate chip or oatmeal cookies any ol’ time, [...]

On mine and Chris’s first date, Chris and I “argued” (I’m using that term very loosely) over who had the better set of grandparents.  I had never met someone who raved about their grandparents as much as I do.  After about eight months of dating, I got to meet Chris’s twins, and shortly thereafter, I [...]

Platinum Blondies

For the longest time, I had platinum blond hair.  I don’t want to say it was completely the fault of the 90’s, but they definitely contributed.  I don’t know what possessed me to bleach my already blond hair and fill it with golden “lowlights,” as my hair dresser called them.  Year after year, though, no [...]

I am not good with frosting or icing.  There are two reasons for this: I am a perfectionist and I am not skilled enough yet to apply frosting in a perfectly even way. I have a habit of eating too much from the bowl and the spoon and making myself sick. With daffodils in a [...]
