When I think of homemade baked goods, I generally dream of fuuudgy brownies and sofffft cookies. Soft and chewy treats are definitely my preference, however there are a few exceptions - one of which is the crispy, crunchy florentine.
Florentines are thin lace cookies traditionally made with chopped almonds. Unfortunately Taste Tester can’t eat nuts, so […]

This cookie doesn’t really taste like any other cookie I’ve had before. The best way I can describe it is that it tastes like Cinnamon Toast Crunch in cookie form with Snickers Bars mixed in. Can you imagine that? If not, it might be because you haven’t tasted anything like it either. The oats give […]

Hey everyone! I know I’ve totally been slacking, but don’t worry I’ve been thinking about you and trying to break away from overspending on holiday shopping to write a post.

Tagline: Whole Food Country Square: Whole Grains, Nuts, Seeds & Fruits. Tasty. Simple. Good for you.
