There’s not an awful lot to say about this recipe other than MAKE IT. I don’t care if you don’t have the specific ingredients; go get them! These cookies were genetically engineered to be the best ever.

Iron Cupcake November: Cranberry
I decided I really wanted to challenge myself, so I’m jumping into Iron Cupcake, in part because I was so excited about the theme! I’ve always loved a particular cranberry orange relish that my grandma always makes for Thanksgiving, so I knew I had to make a tangy, orange-spiked cupcake. Cranberries are interesting…there aren’t too […]
Yet More Learning By Doing
I’m having a bit of writer’s block as far as a creative entry, but at least I made something delicious for dinner! Well, we didn’t eat JUST this…there were some leftovers, too, but this made a fresh and tasty addition to the meal. I’ve mentioned that I have literal “to-make” lists. One of the first […]

I had this happen recently to me when I found some Pooh Bear cupcake papers. […]

I just made a biiiig grocery list (with some fancy ingredients on it!) for tomorrow, though, so there will be some interesting things to read about starting tomorrow! To make up for my utter slackitude lately, here’s […]
Bleh!
Well, it turns out that fresh pomegranate juice looks very much like blood, making it perfect for spooky Halloween dishes. Instead of pumpkin, I think I’m going to work on bloody pomegranate desserts next year. These brownies turned out very good, for brownies. I’m not much of a fan (see my opinion on chocolate), but […]
