Peanuttttt, peanut butter….cookie! If asked what my favorite cookies are, Shortbread, Snickerdoodles, and Thumbprints immediately come to mind. Peanut Butter Cookies would not make the cut and yet a quick search of 3Jamigos will reveal more than a few recipes for peanut butter cookies. This leads to my 🤦🏻♀️ forehead slap moment “I LOVE peanut …
Cracker for crackers like me? I love crackers, the perfect vehicle for dips, spreads, and cheese…it is the ultimate edible utensil. Taking its place as the number one cracker in my book is Ritz Crackers. Buttery, golden, flaky rounds that go with everything. When I find a recipe that uses crackers…I’m all there, Babee. I …
About this time of year, I wax nostalgic about one of my passions (not food this time), rowing. Say what? Yes, rowing. I started rowing, gosh too many years ago to count, and it changed my life.
