I’ve been in love for years. This may come as a shock to my friends because I’m totally single, but it’s true.
It all began when this beautiful machined arrived on my doorstep.
I remember it like it was yesterday… I won $100 from a friend (I won’t go into detail about that) and decided I would use the money to purchase a KitchenAid Mixer. You see, making dough by hand is not as much fun as you might think, and experimenting with cookie recipes had become my favorite thing to do.

I’m so excited! I’m participating in my first Magazine Mondays. If you don’t know about it, you should check it out. Every Monday, the lovely Ivonne from Cream Puffs in Venice posts a tried recipe from a magazine-along with very beautiful photos, of course.
I saw this recipe in Fine Cooking, September 2006, while on vacation in Seattle. I bought it so I would have something to read during the flight home. The recipes are quick, easy and fun. Plus, lemon and blueberry is one of my favorite combinations when it comes to muffins…who knew it’s great for cakes too? OK, I knew, but that doesn’t mean I can’t get excited about it.

The D-man is on a special diet.
Oh, in case you didn’t know, the D-man is my best friend, web designer, photographer and confidant. His diet is a combination of many things: gluten free, grain free, sugar free, and soy free. Umm…that’s a little too much freedom, if you ask me.

Before this weekend, the answer was a resounding ‘no’, but after…?
Let me tell you about my weekend. It was filled with boxes, ribbons, tags, tape, stickers, cello bags, and 100 cookies. That’s right. 100 cookies!
Let’s play a little game, shall we? It’s called ‘if you’re going to bake 100 cookies…’ [click to continue…]

Last night I had a nightmare; someone had stolen my spinach! Now I know that doesn’t make any sense to you, so let me explain. Someone took my spinach, therefore I couldn’t eat my Spinach Salad with Warm Honey Bacon Dressing. The spinach is important, but not as much as the dressing. If someone had stolen that, I would’ve woke up screaming!
Here’s what happened. [click to continue…]

It’s hot! It’s always hot in my kitchen. Maybe it’s because the oven is always on. Maybe it’s because I’m always cooking or baking something. The fact it’s summertime is not helping much. This little diddy chilled me out. Maybe, it will cool you off too.
Seriously. Try it. It’s my new favorite thing.

Divas can be quite temperamental: fussy, demanding, ridiculous at times, but in the end…they’re completely worth the trouble. Is it Mariah, you ask? Whitney? Celine? Nah. I’m talking about the ultimate cookie diva-the Midnight Bliss.
As the creator of this cookie, it’s very close to my heart. That being said, sometimes I want to punch it in the face. I’ve prepared this cookie on several occasions, each with some sort of issue.

Let me begin by saying…I’m a sucker for a beautiful chocolate chip cookie. It’s like how guys react when they see a hot chick. They think, “How do I get me some of that?” Don’t lie guys…you know you think that way. I’m not hating. I’m the same way…just for cookies.

It’s official! I’m declaring July 5th Snickerdoodle Sunday! Well…not really, but it’s a catchy title, no?
While perusing cookie blogs this weekend, I found one entitled lovin from the oven. Kim, owner of said blog, had some very cute pics of Snickerdoodles on her site. Now, I’m not a huge fan of Snickerdoodles, but I certainly wouldn’t turn one down-know what I’m saying? Plus, quite a few of my friends request that I add them to my ever-expanding repertoire. So…here goes. [click to continue…]
