Roasted Carrots with Parsley and Thyme. Amazingly easy to make. Tender, flavorful, and great with almost any dish. It might be surprising in a household with a food blogger. But we actually lack homemade side dish recipes. I tend to go back to the easy classics: rice or beans (or rice and beans). But I’ve ventured out into the world… Read More
My quest for these incredible oatmeal raisin cookies started a long time ago. Said journey with cookies started horribly. My cookies were the worst…they were worse than cheap store-bought cookies.

Then I bought a book. One single book about cookies. (I had tried other ones…this one was actually good). Now I make the best cookies you will ever taste. They’re flavorful. They’re… Read More
I found this recipe in the most unlikely of places. A potluck. I know, I know. We’ve all had our share of horrible potluck food that leaves you wondering if the family that brought it actually eat such horrible food on a regular basis. But I was amazed. • It was tender and moist. • The flavor was amazing. • And it was completely… Read More

They were flat, crunchy, and kind of like snacking on cardboard. Poorly flavored cardboard. Then I bought a book. One single book about cookies…. Read More
