Posts in "Dessert"

It doesn't matter if you have a special someone in your life or if you just broke up with that special someone, or if you are single and ready to mingle... let's be very clear about one thing: Valentine's Day is an excuse to indulge in excellent desserts.

Thanks, Frankenstorm, for canceling my plans to bus back up to Philly on Sunday night. Thanks, Frankenstorm, for shutting down the government,closing the Metro and Septa lines, and for creating a State of Emergency in the two states in which I reside.

On our honeymoon, I encountered the epitome of luxury. Each day in our unlimited snack/mini bar appeared a new jar of freshly baked cookies, unlike any cookie I've had before. The bridal diet went out the window as we inhaled strange sugar cookies chock-filled with chewy elements that were almost toffee like.

Working from home means a lot of "nots": not commuting, not getting dressed up every morning for work, not taking a coffee break at 3pm with your work buddies, not going to happy hour after work with your work buddies, not having work buddies.

I've been itching to make chocolate chip cookies for some time now. Having the Lindsay clan over for dinner tonight made the perfect excuse to make some. But I didn't want to serve up plain old back-of-the-bag Ghiradelli chocolate chip cookies.
