This recipe is from Smitten Kitchen, a blog I love so much I bought her cookbook. Some people say Ina Garten's recipes are fail proof; I guess you could say Deb Perlman is my Ina. I made these cookies for the first time for my cookie party, which is a commitment. But they worked great, and… Continue reading Brownie Roll-Out Cookies

Healthy Breakfast Muffins
I would put these muffins in the category of "too healthy to be good." But they are good! They are easy too, and made with things that are usually on hand. I make them quite often, even for company!

I made… Continue reading Yummy Waffles
