I’ve had this recipe saved for a LONG time. It finally seemed like a good time to dig it out and make it a few nights ago. I figured that after eating almost-entirely vegetables, with a tiny bit of lean meat for dinner I could justify eating half a pan of brownies…. you with me on [...]

Oh my. So chocolatey and delish.
I made these blondie bars for a family gathering a few months ago and they were amazing. The only problem with them was that I was running late, so I asked Brian to melt the chocolate for the top and drizzle it on. Something went weird with it and he [...]

My mom used to make these cookies often when I was growing up and I LOVED them, but since moving out on my own, I’ve misplaced and subsiquently forgotten about her recipe. When these cookies showed up a few times on food blogs in my Google reader I decided I absolutely had to make them [...]

Every week or so I ask my husband what kind of cookie he’d like for the coming week. His inevitable answer: Chocolate chip cookies. Fortunately a) he’s happy to try other types of cookies in addition to the chocolate chip cookie. And b) there are a million different chocolate chip cookie variations out there for [...]

I’m a die-hard Nestle-Tollhouse Chocolate chip cookie fan, but I’m always open to new recipes too. This recipe was actually pretty similar to that recipe, but with a few slight variations that apparently make all the difference in the world. They’re amazing!
Ingredients:
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted [...]
