Coffee Coffee Ice Cream.
In the past four years, I have not spent a single day without at least one cup of coffee. Now, four years may not seem like an exceptionally long time for most of the addicted, but it’s a solid quarter of my life. Respectable, one would hope. At this point, like a true fiend, I’ll [...]

Milanos.
The July Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Nicole at Sweet Tooth. She chose Chocolate Covered Marshmallow Cookies and Milan Cookies from pastry chef Gale Gand of the Food Network.

Lunchtime Cookies.
Lunchtime can be an awkward meal. It’s not clearly defined and as a meal that is often eaten during a limited time (limited though floating around somewhere between the hours of 11:30 a.m. to a foreseeable ‘late lunch’ at 3:00 p.m.), definition is a welcome quality once in a while. Breakfast has definite players—toast, cereal, [...]
