Gluten Free Smores Cookie Bars

Gluten Free Smores Cookie Bars

These cookie bars by @theurbanbaker would be perfect for summer. I love S’mores but they are a pain to make. These would give you that S’more taste anytime you wanted it! From the original site: Failure can sometimes be okay. With my most recent experience with failure, a failed batch of gluten free graham crackers did not go to waste. Actually, in my house, very little goes to waste and a bad, te…

Drunken Prawns & Jackie Chan’s Drunken Fist

Baked Brie

Baked Brie

After I got married, I wanted to come up with a dish I could bring to holidays with either my family or his, something that would be my signature thing. But I had no ideas.

Where our cocktail hour had choices for carnivores and herbivores alike, theirs featured a delightful selection of fruits, ve…

Here are the three posts from last year, with all the instructions you’ll need. The very first meal I ever cooked for my husband when we first…

Nanny's Sour Cream Poundcake

Nanny’s Sour Cream Poundcake

As a kid, one of my favorite Christmas traditions (well, besides Santa & presents, and all that!) was that we could eat whatever we wanted to for breakfast Christmas morning.  I would have a slice of my grandmother’s sour cream poundcake.  It’s perfect just as is, and needs no icing or adornments.  I haven’t made it myself this year, but here’s a photo (sorry, cameraphone!)…

More good info from Jill: They are really, really good. And addictive. I found that recipe last year, and i make a lot of them during the holidays.  My store doesnt always have superfine sugar – in that case, I either use re…
