My son Steven came home for Christmas this year. Even though he is now a mature adult, he still remembers the aroma of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. After all, who in their right state of mind wouldn’t remember or desire them, especially when right out of the oven. Remember? Melted chocolate chips in a [...]

Here is another Christmas cookie that has been a favorite of mine for years. Each Christmas my sister-in-law, Lori brings them over. She has passed the torch on to her son Dennis and this year he was the bearer of these crisp, tasty cookies. Very delicious with a cup of tea. They are not too [...]

Hard to believe another Christmas has come and gone. I totally enjoy the anticipation of Christmas and the hustle and bustle of preparing for the festivities. I had a great Christmas this year. My children all live across the country but this year my youngest, Steve, was able to come home and surprise my husband. [...]

As promised, I will be posting healthy recipes that will be tested by myself and guinea pig husband. Lucky him. This is a dinner that is perfect for this evening. Brrrrrr. It is freakin’ cold out there. The wind is howling and the snow is blowing all over the place. Workout today will be indoors, [...]

Here is a great little treat that is easy to make and incredibly delicious. I love these little tasty morsels. They are sweet, satisfying, and if made small enough, not a hindrance to a diet. That is always important. Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls 1 1/2 cup peanut butter-creamy or crunchy 2 cups confectioners sugar 1/4 [...]

I love to make Christmas cookies but sometimes I just don’t have the time needed to make rolled and decorated sugar cookies, Italian anise cookies, or any of my other favorites that are time consuming to produce. Ahh. The Spritz.  The perfect cookie to make when time is of the essence. It’s basically a mix [...]

There isn’t a Christmas that comes and goes that I haven’t make these gems. Italian cookies are quite delicious, somewhat easy to make, and very satisfying. They go great with everything and it always amazes me how much people in general enjoy these treats. I never ate them as a child, always went for the [...]

Brrrrr. It is just a little nippy and blustery outside. I was thinking of going snowshoeing and probably will when the blizzard subsides but for now it is the perfect time to make some fudge. I have lots of people that I work with that I would love to let them know how much they [...]

Recently I made the coconut bars from a previous post and my husband, Dan, thought that they would be greatly improved (which he included might be tough to do), by making a chocolate cookie crust in place of the vanilla one the recipe called for. Not a problem. I have to admit I agreed with him as [...]

Coconut with anything adds a great texture and taste. Mix it in with chocolate, gooiness, and some more sugar and it becomes the perfect choice for any sweettooth! I have always loved seven layer bars. These are very similar to make as there are so many versions of these delicacies. Coconut Bars Crust: 1/2 cup [...]
