And Now A Word From Our Sponsor…

  Me, that is. Or I should say, Freakin’ Flamingo! You know I’m making some wild and sexy jams with a South Florida / Caribbean twist down here, right?

Potato Pancakes -or- Latkes for Chanuka or Hannukah or …

Peanut Butter Cup Bon Bon Cookies

“Neiman Marcus” Chocolate Chip Cookies

The 12 Christmas Cookies series snuck up on me, this year, mainly because the group decided to start now, and – very wisely, I might add – to post one cookie a week instead of one cookie a day. So, I’m starting off simple, with my favorite chocolate chip cookie in the world. I’ve never [...]

My Favorite Brownies & *Bonus* Brownie Cookies

I’m making up the annual holiday treats platter for our local post office, right now. I put together a selection of treats for these hard-working souls every year, because, well, between MJ and me, we can be pretty trying. No, really. Stop laughing. Anyway, the centerpiece of the platter is the Framboise Brownie. These brownies [...]
