The description for this cookie recipe reads, “These are THE BEST cookies I have ever eaten. They are a definite hit. If you like peanut butter and chocolate - these cookies are for you!”
Since it sounded like whoever wrote this was talking directly to me, I knew I’d have to make them!
It was great […]

The holidays are here! Are you in full-on holiday baking crazy mode? Me too!
I opened up the latest issue of Everyday with Rachael Ray and to find a feature about kitchen tools that are necessary for holiday cooking. At first I was surprised that they included the cookie press. I had received one as a […]

I have a problem, and if you’re a blog reader / recipe lover (I assume you are if you’re reading this), then you may be able to relate. My problem is this: I bookmark way too many recipes. Way more than I’ll probably ever be able to make, but I love browsing recipe sites and […]

Okay people, it’s time: I simply have to profess my love for Nigella Lawson’s Nigella Express. It’s way overdue, but better late than never, right? So let me tell you, I LOVE this book. Taste Tester was kind enough to get it for me for no reason other than to fuel my crazy cookbook addiction. […]

Before we left, […]

After finding this post on Tastespotting, I knew that I couldn’t go on without knowing what on earth Peanut Butter Bread tasted like. I had to make some! One of my cookbooks - the Tate’s Bake Shop Cookbook - happened to have a recipe for it.
I can now rest assured with the newfound knowledge that […]

Was it mean to post a teaser pic of these twinkies last week? You’ve probably been ready to make them, twinkie pan in hand, so here goes!
I received a Twinkie pan as a gift from a friend two Christmases ago and never used it. I’m not sure why it took me so long to break […]

I recently visited various delicious bakeries and gourmet markets in NYC with with my partner in crime, Carla D. I plan on making up a map of our route to share with you, but couldn’t wait until then to post pics of these marvelous cookies.
I had heard about Levain Bakery a long while ago […]

It’s a pretty obvious fact that our country is a bit unstable at the moment. But letting the sinking economy affect your holiday cheer isn’t going to do any good.
