Cookie Trends (Recipe: Cinnamon Roll Cookies with Vanilla Glaze)
Cinnamon Roll Cookies are your favorite breakfast sweet bread in cookie form! I read an article awhile back that in 2011, Pie was going to be the new Cupcake. You can expect the cupcake trend to fade, but anticipate that Pies, in all flavors, shapes and sizes, will be peaking in 2011. I love pie……
Afterschool Cooking {Recipe – Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies}

Andes Creme de Methe Cookies
It happens every year. You make your New Year’s Resoulutions, which include things like “Lose the 10 pounds I was supposed to lose last year,” and “make it to the gym past the first two weeks in January“. You are feeling really confident that this is the year that you aren’t going to fail on…
Pie Crust Cookies
Would you believe that I have been a mom for 7 years and until recently I have never read a parenting book. The last book I picked up that had anything to do with parenting was What to Expect When Your Expecting. Trust me… it is not that I think I have all the answers….
