I’m not going to say these make you run faster, but I made them last night and then had pretty much the best tempo run ever today. I guess it could have been the weather (50 and raining…just like home!). Or it could have been my new shoes. Sorry, [...] 
This is a new twist on a recipe I posted before. We normally make these as squares, but this year I wanted to try something new, so I baked the brownies in a mini cupcake pan, piped the mint frosting, and drizzled the chocolate over the top. My family [...] 
This weekend wasn’t just about running, even though that consumed a lot of it. We also went to the oh-so-festive tree lot at the Target parking lot to get our Christmas tree! There was a lengthy discussion about whether a Noble or a Douglas was better (my family always gets [...] 
Why are these called magic scotchie cookies? Because I incorporated some features of magic bars (or 7-layer bars, or Hello Dolly bars) with scotchies (oatmeal and butterscotch chips). I left out chocolate chips because I didn’t want to overpower the butterscotch flavor. They’re pretty addictive, so I was happy [...] 
I hate pumpkin pie. It’s not the flavor I have problems with, it’s the texture. Custards just completely gross me out. Fortunately these bars taste like pumpkin pie, but have more of a cheesecake texture, which I love! I also like graham cracker crust about a hundred times more [...] I used to think cobbler wasn’t worth making because it was just too simple. I liked involved dessert recipes that had multiple components, preferably including some kind of fancy cake or pastry plus frosting or pastry cream. That was also when I was still living at home and had [...] Some things I’ve really come to appreciate lately: 1. Trader Joe’s and their vast selection of appealing non-alcoholic beverages 2. The elephant slippers I got at the night market in Luang Prabang, Laos. We do not have a single square inch of carpeted floor in this house, so slippers [...] I’ve been on summer break almost a week now. I mentioned to my friend the other day that I was a little bored, and she told me I should enjoy this boredom now because after the kid comes, I’ll probably never be bored again. Good point, I should probably [...] This probably means my weekends are lame, but one of the highlights of this past one was finding big containers of fresh raspberries at the store (another was finishing a hat I was knitting for the baby… yes I’m 86 years old). As soon as I got them home [...] |
