gluten-free almond butter cookies

I had one compelling thought as I was taking these photos. Brown cookies do not make great photos. You will just have to trust me that these cookies taste better than they look.

morning glory muffins

Are you one of those who combines different cereals for breakfast? I definitely am. I got hooked decades ago in college. With the cafeteria's huge selection, I mixed away. I haven't stopped since. (This morning it was Kashi GoLean Crunch with Peanut Butter Captain Crunch. I mix high/low, healthy/unhealthy. I need balance in my life.)

I appreciate variety, and that's why I'm drawn to these muffins. You could call these Everything-but-the-kitchen-sink and be very close to the truth. The more stir-ins, the merrier.

cornbread

I like cornbread. I really do. But my baking relationship with cornbread is complicated. We have issues.

lemon pound cake

We are a few weeks into Spring and here in the Northeast, it still feels like mid-Winter. This is when I start thinking seriously about moving to San Diego. I glare at the grey skies. I wander up and down the citrus aisle at the supermarket.

ranger cookie

I sampled this cookie about twelve years ago at The Thespian's home. We dropped by her home unannounced and she pulled out a tub of frozen cookie dough, defrosted it in the microwave, and baked up a fresh batch of cookies for us. I made a mental note of that. What better way to welcome people into your home?!
