Today’s guest post comes to you not from a fellow food blogger, but from a dear friend. Jenny and I have known each other since high school, through her husband Nate. Nate and I were best friends throughout high school, and our sisters played volley ball together, so we occasionally ended up staring off into [...]

I’m super stoked today to have Jamie from My Baking Addiction guest posting for y’all. To quote something Jamie says often, I love her more than cheesecake. She’s my sounding board, one of my best friends, and often referred to by my Brit as “the other woman” – simply because she’s the only person that [...]

Hey y’all – I’m still recovering from surgery (more on that later), so will have some guest posters fill in a few more times, in the mix with my own stuff that I did way ahead of time. Today’s guest post comes from Milisa or “Miss” over at Miss in the Kitchen. Miss and I [...]

I’m so excited to have Tracy guest post here today, y’all. If you don’t already love her, you will pretty quick. I cannot imagine a better baker. Tracy always delights me with her creations on Sugarcrafter, but also, I want you to know that she is one high quality friend. In the past three years, [...]

More often than not, I cannot leave well enough alone. Whether it’s where a vase sits in the living room, the recipe I can kick up a notch, or even the fonts on this blog – if I think about something for a little too long, I have to change it, make it better. A [...]

This isn’t so much the case in San Antonio right now (where it’s a balmy 68 degrees), but around this time in New Jersey, I start to go a little sunshine-deprivation crazy. I start to crave citrus, sunshine, and time outdoors – even though it’s usually in the 20s. That’s where these Lemon Crinkle Cookies [...]

These cookies may look like nothing special, but to me they mean Christmas, plain and simple. Every year of my childhood, Nanny and Mom would set out to make several dozen of these little guys, and then into the freezer they would go. First to be eaten at Christmas, but we’d eat the leftovers all [...]

Christmas Tea Shortbread

Shortbread is one of those things I’m sort of a traditionalist about. I hesitate to even add vanilla extract, because I feel adding extra liquids to the perfect balance of flour, powdered sugar, salt, and butter would upset the natural order of things. So when it comes to adding flavor, I tend to look towards [...]

Mexican Chocolate Chewies have got to be the easiest cookie I’ve ever made. They were also one of those cookies that, once the batter was done, I kind of worried I’d done it wrong. Would this soupy mixture really come together into a chewy cookie? I put my trust and faith in Lisa Fain, and [...]
