I often get in a mental conundrum when contemplating what kind of cookies I want to make. I often want fluffy oatmeal cookies. And then I start thinking of this really amazing cookie dough that my mom and I once made: it was full of just about everything but the kitchen sink, and we ate so much of the dough that by the time we baked some, I didn't want the finished cookies. I cannot for the life … [Read more...]

Happy Birthday to my big brother! This year I've chosen another not-your-ordinary-birthday-cake cake and decided to make carrot cake with a creamy cream cheese frosting. It filled my home with the smells of cinnamon and carrots and was tempting to just dig right in (but I can't, because that wouldn't look so good when I deliver it to him). I also carried the cinnamon into the cream cheese … [Read more...]
