An easy way to spice up simple shortbread cookies

My poor co-workers, so spoiled after 4 years of getting home baked goodies every month for staff meeting – last month, they got donuts from the local bakery with a “too hot to bake!” note stuck to the box. There were some sad faces around the office (I notice they still ate the donuts, though). But this month, I showed up with these Black Bottom Coconut Macaroons and suddenly everyone was happy again.

If you haven’t tried this recipe yet – please do. It’s the kind of recipe that should be in every go-to file!

These babycakes are a bit like a little girl who’s grown up and is getting ready for her first prom – sweet, simple and soft, but all dressed up and looking glamorous!

Proof positive that sometimes the simplest recipes are the best! Dense, moist cake with a fresh, lemony flavor and aroma, plus a crisp sugar crust and delightful crackling top..

Next time you’d like to make an unusual and delicious Springtime dessert, consider this Secret Layer Ginger Cheesecake. Just don’t tell anyone what the green part is until AFTER they eat it!

No-fail recipe for French Toast that produces delicious every time, crisp on the outside, soft and custardy on the inside French Toast. The basic recipe is scrumptious as is, but it’s also easy to customize it with different flavors.

Has anyone else noticed the Great Pancake Celebration that seems to be sweeping the blogosphere? It seems everywhere I look, there are posts about pancakes. Gluten-free pancakes. Red velvet pancakes. All different kinds of pancakes everywhere!

I hadn’t even noticed it before I decided to make some pancakes this past weekend. Are we all being influenced by aliens to eat lots of pancakes or something?

Easy and delicious carrot cupcakes with extra-carroty flavor!

This is my go-to chocolate chunk cookie recipe which is, so far, universally loved. This time was no exception.

Sorry it’s been so quiet lately, but we’ve been having a lot of Real Life at our house. Vehicle accidents, kids in trouble at school – you name it, we got it.
 
Consequently, comfort food is the dish of the day!

What do you do when you want something quick and easy, there’s not much in the house, and you don’t want to go out?
