What's Cookin'?
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Food on Friday, December 16, 2011
Are you baking this weekend?
I think we’re going to add these (which I found on Pinterest and traced to this blog) to our rotation.
Because they’re cute.
And because that’s exactly how much frosting I can tolerate.
How about you? Trying anything new for Christmas this year?
Craving Cookies?
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Food on Friday, February 11, 2011
As previous discussions on this site have proven, Girl Scout cookies are a controversial issue.
But I think there are a couple things we can all agree on: Girl Scout cookies, however delicious, are pretty expensive on a per-cookie basis. They’re also not available year-round.
A couple years ago, poking around food blogs on the Internet (as you do) I discovered a wonderful solution to this problem:... READ MORE
How the Piggy Cookie Crumbles
Posted by Danielle Bean in Food on Wednesday, January 19, 2011
(Updated: Here’s the recipe!)
Two days ago, 4-year-old Daniel spent the better part of an hour browsing the pages of one of the girls’ cookie cookbooks. Frequently, he called me over to show me hat he thought was a particularly yummy-looking photo.
I found his interest in baked goods endearing and I was in a capable mood, so I told him to pick any recipe he wanted and I would buy the ingredients and... READ MORE

If gingerbread houses seem passé (or beyond you),
the folks at King Arthur Flour have some other nifty ideas.
How about a ginger votive? Ginger placecard? Ginger giftbox?

Got Cookies?
Posted by Lynn Wehner in Food on Friday, December 10, 2010
As Kate Wicker noted last week, the sweet scent of seasonal cookie swaps is in the air!
I’m actually participating in one with some friends this evening, and we’ll be teaming it with a simple supper and some mid-December relaxation. Ahhh.
I thought I’d share my recipe for the Raspberry Squares I’ll be bringing (recipe adapted from an old Southern Living Christmas cookies book). They are coconut-chewy... READ MORE
Sweet and Spicy Gingerbread Cookies

How is your Advent going? Did you remember your candles on time this year? Did you dig the calendar out of the attic yet? Have you started baking?
Even if you avoid sweets during Advent (that sounds almost impossible to me, but some brave souls I know do it), these weeks are a great time to bake ahead and stock your freezer with some family favorites for Christmas celebrations.
This year we’ll be... READ MORE
Tempted Am I

I tried not to look at the latest Williams-Sonoma catalog.
But I sensed a disturbance in the force and gave in.
I know this ought to be resisted: else where will the product tie-ins end?
And yet…I have little wookies boys who would be absolutely delighted if these showed up at a birthday party.
I hate it when the Dark Side is cute.

Pi Day
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Food on Sunday, March 14, 2010
Today is Pi Day, when Math nerds around the world celebrate their favorite Mathematical constant.
It’s also Einstein’s birthday, so a big day for Science lovers as well.
I barely recall how to multiply and divide, but I do love this amazing collection of “science cookies.”
See these, too—also on the nuclear theme.
Any Pi lovers out there?
