As you may have noticed, I love cookie recipes that include egg whites. I love a light and chewy cookie that goes good with a cup of tea. Today I tried a cookie called Chewy Almond Orange Biscuits. Just looking at the ingredients, I knew it would be yummy……..ground almonds, orange zest, honey, sugar, &…
Aren’t these pretty?! I am using so many recipes that I find on Pinterest lately! These Thumbprint Cookies caught my eye because they had been rolled in white non-pareils before baking, and then filled with pink buttercream! I loved how they looked and I thought they would be even prettier with colored non-pareils instead of white. I already had some leftover pink marshmallow fluff…
I wish I could say that I made the dessert in this lovely photo, but this is the photo that went with the recipe for Molded French Cream in Southern Living Magazine (April 1999). Yes, I am a bit of a magazine hoarder!! LOL! Mine looks so plain compared to theirs, but since there are…
Today I wanted to share my recipe for Rose Water Meringues. I made them for my daughter Abbie’s fifth birthday party, and had a request for the recipe. I’ve had great results with this recipe, and if I keep the baked meringues in an airtight container, they keep well for 5 days or more. Rose Water Meringues 2 egg whites, room temperature 100…
It’s been a while since I made French Macarons, so today I just got out my sprinkles and do dads and had fun! I said before that I keep trying different recipes, hoping to get a good one that works for me. I’m having trouble with hollow shells. These look good, but they have a…
Today I made a quick & easy cookie with one of my favorite ingredients – Nutella! Looooove Nutella!! Since Spring seems to have arrived in Savannah early this year, I had my pick of blooms for decorating my plate! Love the pretty pink Azaleas and Camelias! No bake cookies are baked in many kitchens at Christmas. What makes this…
Don’t you love biscotti?! I do too! I wanted to bake some for you, but I wanted them to be pretty! I used Martha Stewart’s Almond-Ginger Biscotti recipe, and just made a few changes. I substituted dried strawberries for the crystallized ginger, didn’t include lemon zest, and used my unbleached flour (King Arthur brand) instead of the all…
Today I baked something that I’ve been wanting to bake for a while. Paula Deen’s Lemon Blossoms! It’s a really easy recipe that includes yellow cake mix and lemon instant pudding mix. You bake them in a mini muffin pan, then dip the whole cake into a lemon glaze. The recipe comes from Food Network and when I saw that…
Today I tried another recipe from my Christmas baking board on Pinterest. These are called Christmas Nougat Cookies, and the recipe comes from a commercial bakery in Seattle. This recipe is made with shortening, not butter. I rarely use shortening in baking, but to achieve the correct texture with these, you must. These cookies are sweet and…

Today our Church had their annual Holiday Hospitality program, and I was asked to bring some goodies to go with the morning coffee. I brought my very favorite Pumpkin Muffins and……….
