Happy 2025- I hope this year is precedented and uneventful for everyone– although I already have a feeling that this won’t be the case. New Year, New Cookies? Nope. Same cookies actually. This week I made two cookies I’ve made before- but only one that I’ve written about. Both are…

The festive season is here!!!! Yes, December is officially upon us and Santa is nearly here- and I’m tired already. Something about having a child born 5 days before Christmas makes this season HECTIC. So I didn’t bake this week- I blame the (nearly) 8 year old and his birthday…

Happy December! I can’t believe it’s nearly the end of the year. Christmas carols are playing, the tree is decorated, the turkey and ham are ordered and I’ve been reading Christmas Cookie recipes. My experience with Christmas cookies has been mixed at best. There was one time when I baked…

It shouldn’t be a suprise that Thanksgiving is one of my all time favourite holidays. Food, family, friends, and football. What else could you ask for? Other than family, Thanksgiving is one of my favourite things about America. So this time of year, I’m always a bit sad to be…

Well, here we are again. Clearly those photos were taken on Election morning when the future looked hopeful and optimistic- when change was in the air and anything seemed possible. Personally, I’m still processing all the feelings I’m feeling. Disappointment, surprise, foreboding, grief, fear, impending doom. It’s a familiar feeling-…

And WHY has it taken me so long to make one??? So, this week I made Snickerdoodles. I have never eaten a snickerdoodle before, let alone made one. But my friend, JJ, requested them and so this week, I made Snickerdoodles. And they were yum! They were a bit of…

Continue reading →: Just normal Chocolate Chip.
Last week I made Chocolate Chip Cookies. You know the ones. The boring, old favorites that have the recipe on the back of the bag of chocolate chips. Tollhouse chocolate chips if you grew up in the US, no idea what recipe is on the back of the Australian chocolate…

Continue reading →: The BEST ones yet.
I’m not bragging but each week I’m getting better and better at this cookie thing. And to be honest, some of it comes from just following directions and recipes. If it says use softened butter, then don’t be lazy or impatient. Soften the butter! Seriously, when you decide that you…
