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! [...]

I was brought up on cookies, homemade, delicious ones that permeate the air while they are baking. Nothing says home like the aroma of fresh baked cookies. Well, I guess that’s not totally true as baking apple pie with cinnamon does a great job of providing a tantalizing effect on the senses!  I am usually [...]

Here is the one of the easiest recipes to make a delicious light dessert with few calories. It is a Weight Watcher recipe that I received from a friend, Phyl. It is light and fluffy and if you are counting points, 1/12 of it is 4 points. I am not on Weight Watchers but agree [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I know I said I would be posting healthy recipes. It will happen but for now I thought I would finish up with my Christmas cookies selections. A very delicious and tender, light cookie is the raspberry almond delight. This Christmas, my sister in law, Lori, made these and added some orange zest to the [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
