mélange: a mixture often of incongruous elements
Macarons are my favorite cookie on earth! In 2015, I was able to sample several macarons in Paris; the best being from Ladurée. These babies take patience and attention to detail and I’ve had several disasters before mastering the technique. They are the best after sitting for 24 hours prior to being served.
I have a love affair with cookies and prefer them soft, not crunchy. Although peanut butter cookies are fantastic, I always have almond butter on hand so I thought I’d replace the standard PB. It adds an extra bit of protein to these fabulous cookies so I can also experience a bit less guilt.
These graham crackers are better than store-bought and you can use any cookie cutter you’d like. I also made marshmallows and I happen to have some chocolate laying around…so it’s s’mores time!
I made a ton of cookies this holiday season..it’s my stress reliever. Out of all of them, these were my favorite. They will knock your socks off!
With only 5 ingredients, this recipe is a cinch. If you need a last minute dessert or brunch dish, this is perfect. You can also change the cake mix flavor or pie filling easily.
Pecan pie is one of my dad’s favorite desserts so I decided to make these for father’s day. They were so delicious that I made them again the following week for a family reunion. They are buttery, nutty, and will quickly disappear.
These cookies are soft and chocolaty. They contain no flour, nuts, or dairy. It’s a nice alternative to peanut butter cookies.
Like most people I LOVE Rice Krispie Treats but I wanted to see if I could kick them up a notch. This recipe is a good way to make the treats a little “fancier”. The mixture of sweet and salty is great too.
A couple years ago we stayed at the Kingsleigh Inn in the Bar Harbour area of Maine. The owners Pamela & Bryan were such gracious hosts and the food they served was AMAZING. These bars were a favorite for me so I had to get the recipe. I’ve adapted it slightly.
