Perfecting the “Healthy Chocolate Chip Cookie”
Throwing together a batch of chocolate chip cookies is second nature to me. However, whipping up a batch of “healthy” chocolate chip cookies seems to require a bachelor’s degree in culinary science.

The arrival of hunting season in the fall excites me a little bit, perhaps because it brings promise of interesting and unusual fowl and wild game finding its way into my kitchen. I am not a hunter myself, nor are any of my family members, but I’ve amassed a small-yet-reliable group of friends who are […]

It’s the time of year where I start to plan what I’m going to bake for the holidays. I always put way too much on the agenda, usually accomplished in a rush. Even though I stress myself out trying to tackle it all, I enjoy every minute of it. Caramel Puff Corn, Scrabble (our family […]
