My family and I just came back from visiting the Grand Canyon. It was one of the best trips we’ve ever taken, and if you have a chance – GO! While we were there I picked up a fun little cookbook called The Grand Canyon Cook Book, Southwestern recipes from Arizona’s natural wonder by Bruce [...]
I’ve loved meringue cookies since I was a kid. But now that I’m trying to watch my calories, I like them even more.

Even better, these are perfect for those who [...]
Did you know that the first cookie dates all the way back to the 7th century in Persia? Seems that sugar was first cultivated there and then spread to the eastern Mediterranean. At the end of the 14th century, you could walk along the streets of Paris and buy little wafers, and cookie recipes began [...]

Another benefit of this recipe (versus a traditional sugar cookie recipe) is that it’s egg-free for those allergic to eggs, or people like me who like to nibble on raw cookie dough. [...]
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and aren’t having too much of a problem dealing with all those leftovers. If you are, you may want to try out a couple of these ideas at iVillage by author, Holly Clegg. Or these recipes from PastryWhiz.com. Anyway, I’m looking for a few good cookie recipes. [...]
Dear friend Michelle D. emailed me with a common problem in Colorado. Baking at high altitude is a bitch. I used to bake bread all the time. But once I started living at a mile high plus I gave up on it after too many deflated, rubbery loaves. I also love to decorate cakes but [...]
