They were posted by Fake Ginger and they reminded me of the super soft and delicious sugar cookies that the local Ukrop’s Bakery inside of Martin’s makes. They were perfect. Light and fluffy and exactly what I [...]

I have been up all night lately and my only savior has been coffee. Nothing goes with coffee like Shortbread cookies (AKA Sandies). I buy them by the case. However, I ran out and was unable to go to the store. So I decided to try them for myself. It is a basic butter cookie [...]
Dana has been craving pumpkin pie for a couple weeks now. I decided that I should break down and make her one. I wanted to try something different so I found a recipe from Paula Deen that uses cream cheese instead of evaporated milk. I made it and wow! It was awesome. Paula knows what [...]
I hate to say it but I love sweets. I guess that is how I keep my amazing figure. Haha. Anyways, I am a huge fan of Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies. I like my cookies semi-dense with a little bite but not too chewy. Along the same path I like my cookies to be thick [...]

About a year ago I created personal Tuna Pot Pies. They were delicious. However, I never tackled the most common pot pie out there, the Chicken Pot Pie. So the other day when Dana asked for a chicken pot pie, I knew exactly how to make them. I would make a perfect pot pie sauce [...]
