Every once in a while, I know coz I see it on other sites, a recipe comes up that appeals to you so much that you really don’t mind featuring it again. And while this cookie recipe has been done by me previously, this time we put a slight twist on it. This is Kurt’s [...]
Something that I’m hearing about more and more is gluten intolerance. So when Marissa came up with this recipe I was delighted. It’s gluten free and will make a lovely addition to your sweet table. 2018 Christmas Treat #7 – Gluten Free Chocolate Cinnamon Rugelach. I must commend Marissa for always trying to put a [...]
Multiple posts today. This is Scott’s pick for 2018 Christmas Treat #6 – Pumpkin and Caramel Cookies. Always adventurous with tastes, these are a delightful cookie that brings fall and winter to mind.

Best Christmas Bake ever! Okay last year was pretty special too as I had my daughter, son and his girlfriend involved (2017 Christmas Treats 7, 8 and 9). This year, I sent an invite to my nieces and nephews to participate. A resounding “yes” came back. I only had one request of them– the recipe [...]
