I was so confident I would plow through my Holiday Cookie List. After all, I usually make a ton of holiday cookies. But blogging about each recipe threw me for a loop..that and 20+ people for Christmas dinner! But I am doggedly determined to complete my 12 days of Cookies even though Christmas has passed. …
Only 2 more cookies after this post for my holiday cookie list and COINCIDENTALLY there’s only 2 more days until Christmas. Yikes, I’m cutting it pretty close! When I’m in a grocery or cookware store I feel like a kid in a candy store. I go bonkers. It’s really not my fault, there is just too much STUFF out there …
The kids are home! These cookies disappeared crazy fast (which makes me happy). Who doesn’t like a buttery, crumbly, tender shortbread-like cookie with a hint of citrus and filled with sweet, tart jam? Bah humbug if that’s you! Here is Mariah Carey’s All I Want for Christmas to launch this post! Bam, I LOVE …

Day 6 of #holidaycookies! Another one bite wonder, this time brought to you by the delightful blog Smitten Kitchen. I have to admit, I love SK but she is making me feel like a slacker. As I struggle to get my 12 days of holiday cookies completed, multiple posts pop up daily from SK. She must …
It isn’t intentional and may be a blogosphere faux pax for all I know. Like posting multiple pics on Instagram on a single day which my kids tell me I shouldn’t do. But after posting Sally’s Sesame Cookies I stumbled across another recipe for sesame seed cookies on of all places the Huffington Post. I did …
As I fixate on cookies for the holiday season, Wes continues his quest for interesting, delicious vegetarian dishes. Not surprisingly this often means Indian food. We had stopped at our favorite hole in the wall one evening and tried their Mushroom Matar. We weren’t disappointed. Peas and mushrooms surrounded by a sweet savory sauce. The …
Day 4 of the 12 Days of Cookies..surprisingly I’m on schedule…I think I wanted to choose a song that fit this cookie recipe but instead, I picked a beautiful song that is so relevant to what is happening in our world right now. Someday at Christmas sung by Jack Johnson. When it comes to cookies …
