Do you ever look through old recipe books and find a recipe that truly surprises you? That’s this recipe. Lemon Drop Cookies aren’t a reference to the cocktail, not at all. They’re named after that old-as-the-hills hard candy from Brachs that we all know and love. When I was a kid, cough and throat drops [...]

Somewhere along the way, chocolate dipped strawberries became synonymous with Valentine’s Day. I’m not sure when it happened, but they 100% equal romance. Just ask us – our groom’s cake at our wedding featured a sheet cake decorated to look like a tuxedo, surrounded by two dozen smartly dressed matching tuxedo’ed strawberries around the edge. [...]

You’ll read the recipe and think, “Flatten with a spatula, Amber?”, but that’s really how I achieved that perfect chewy texture. I don’t claim to [...]

The idea that it’s December 2nd astounds me. It probably shouldn’t. We’re a family that puts our tree up the day after Thanksgiving (more for the convenience of a 4 day weekend and having extra hands around, but still), and the Christmas decorations have been decking these halls for a solid week. But when I [...]

So have you seen Caramel Apple Milky Ways yet? Listen, I know that the stores push it – piling bag after bag of Halloween candy into the seasonal section in mid-August, when honestly, I’d still like to buy patio furniture!
