This loaf of cinnamon sugar bread almost never came to be, which would have been quite unfortunate, because it was a thing of perfection, with a crunchy top and soft interior laced with more than a mere hint of cinnamon sugar. The first time I tried the recipe, the top wasn’t crunchy, and the interior [...]

I gave up on finding an authentic, reasonably priced king cake in Huntsville this year.

The downfall of my attempt to make Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake Cookies? Frozen blueberries. And when I say downfall, I don’t mean that they were inedible. On the contrary, they were delicious, with a cake-like consistency that made them very much like tiny, round blueberry muffins. The recipe didn’t specify whether to use fresh or frozen [...]

Even after making jam, I had at least a quart of strawberries left yesterday. Enter Facebook, where one of my friends had recently posted a recipe for White Chocolate and Strawberry Cookies. They were reported to be pink and delicious, and while I’m no great fan of pink food, I am quite fond of all [...]
