February 11 is Peppermint Patty Day!  Why not? Who would argue with another holiday, especially one celebrating this delicious candy! Peppermint Patties are refreshing and exhilarating to eat. Remember those great commercials? Okay, so maybe they were a little strange but regardless, there is a holiday here that is worth a second look! What is [...]

Today is one of those bittersweet winter days as there is no school due to an impending storm which in itself is a wonderful thing, but on the other hand, come June, this snowday really puts a damper on having an early summer vacation! I guess you can’t have it all. But wait! Today, February [...]

Today was our monthly pastry club day. As always there were 2 excellent desserts, a carrot cake and chocolate brownie bar. The person, Sue, who brought in the brownie dessert told me exactly how she made it and whoa, easy!!!!! One of my coworkers, Edward, thought these were very incredible. Just look at the picture!

One of the teachers at my school, Krystal, brought these delicious cookies to school for our Healthy Buffet. They, if you follow WeightWatchers, are 1 point each, which translate into diet friendly. These cookies were very moist and mouth watering. Very good Krystal! I found out today that Krystal made a little error while baking [...]

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 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.

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 [...]

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.

We had our staff Christmas buffet today at school and I had signed up to make a yum dessert. I made the Over the Top Cookies, but decided to try another dessert also as the Over the Top were not too pretty. Don’t get me wrong, they weren’t ugly and they were delicious, it’s just [...]
