These cookies are very rich and worth every effort to make. I received this recipe from my sister-in-law, Lori, who is Swedish. This is from her grandmother, a long time baker. These were made for Christmas by my nephew, Dennis, who is keeping with the family tradition of also being a great baker. Some side [...]

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 [...]

Here is an easy treat to make that will satisfy any sweet tooth. It basically is a no brainer. These were made for our annual Christmas buffet and were gone in seconds. In fact, they might be too easy to eat, never mind make! Walk by, pop it in… oh yeah, that’s why they were [...]
