Eight Nights of Hanukkah Baking: Night #5, The Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap
When I started food blogging, one of the very first things I remember reading about was the Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap. So many of the bloggers I follow posted their recipes that they used for the swap and talked about the cookies they got from other bloggers. I thought it sounded like such a […]
Fourth night of Hanukkah: COCO Cookies
There are a couple shelves in the grocery section of Target that are always full of random things on sale, like pudding mix for 89 cents. Can someone who loves to bake really say no to that? Definitely not. I love when I find good baking ingredients on sale, especially if they are something I […]
Eight Nights of Hanukkah Baking, Night #3: Miracle Oil Chocolate Chip Cookies
We’re three days into Hanukkah already! We all know the story we were taught in Sunday School about the miracle of the oil burning for eight days, so I figured it’d be appropriate to honor the “oil miracle” and use it in a recipe. Chocolate chip cookies using vegetable oil instead of butter — and […]
Eight Nights of Hanukkah Baking, Night #2: Triple Chocolate Oreo Cookies!
Happy second night of Hanukkah! Today, being the first official DAY of Hanukkah, the Kabbalah Centre is putting on a huge Hanukkah festival at Mizner Park. I’ll be there volunteering for a few hours. There’s a bounce house, rock wall, face painting, food, rides, astrology readings, and a candle lighting at sundown. It’s a pretty […]
Holiday Baking
I used to be the only baker at work. A few months ago, a new manager was hired and I could finally take a break! Not that I didn’t love baking for the office just about every week. It was nice to have someone there who shared my hobby. Amy started off with a bang […]
The easiest cookie recipe you’ll ever find…
Aside from watching just about every cooking competition on TV, I’ve also got a pretty lengthy list of shows that I watch religiously. During the summer, my DVR is no where near as full as it is during the fall/winter season, but there are still a few shows I can’t do without. One of which […]
A Fudgy, Chocolate, Peanut Butter-filled dessert
I’m back! The past couple weeks have been quite the whirlwind. I finally moved out of my Bubby’s and got my own apartment! I’m just down the street and around the corner, so she hasn’t completely gotten rid of me yet, haha, but I am on my own! It’s been a rough start, and I’m […]
Crispy Cakey Chocolate Chip Cookies
As the baking frenzy continues, the next thing on my list was chocolate chip cookies. But not just any chocolate chip cookies, these were going to be food Network Magazine-style! The March issue was “The Chocolate Issue,” and let me tell you…they did not skimp on any recipes. There were 50 recipes for brownies alone, […]
Oreos + Chocolate Chip Cookies = Sinfully Delicious!
Oreo-filled desserts are pretty popular, especially on the Pinterest circuit. I’m constantly coming across pictures of cookies and brownies with Oreos as the main ingredient. Since I still had some leftover from the brownies I made a couple weekends ago, I decided to try another recipe. This time I turned to The Picky Palate’s chocolate […]
White Chocolate Cherry Oatmeal Cookies
I recently discovered a new healthy recipe blog whose main focus is on vegan desserts, Chocolate Covered Katie. She has some really innovative ideas and I have been wanting to make some of her desserts for a while now. I finally got around to baking her breakfast cookies, and was very happy with the result. The […]
