Oatmeal Raisin Cookies: […]
Chewy Molasses Ginger Cookies
Cozy Up to Winter with Chewy Molasses Ginger Cookies I always think it’s kind of weird the way people put up their holiday decorations the day after Halloween and then take them down the day after Christmas. This is the hard part of the year, people! It is dark, it is cold. In NYC and […]
Super Fudgy Brownies
Cooking Math: Chocolate & Chocolate = Super Fudgy Brownies The first thing I ever learned to bake were brownies from a box.

Italian Skillet Dinner
Cooking Sort of Italian with an Italian Skillet Dinner Have we ever discussed how I found out I am part Italian? I can’t remember. My dad, retired and bored, decided to look into our background.
