Nestle®Buncha Crunch Oatmeal Cookies
My local grocer was having a sale on all the specialty baking products they bring in for the holidays. I got my hands on a bag of the Nestle Buncha Crunch Baking Bits. Couldn’t pass up this gem! On the back of the bag was a recipe for oatmeal cookies and I knew I just […]
Read moreLemon Blueberry Hamantaschen
To celebrate Purim, I always make hamantaschen…one of my favorite cookies! Much like a thumbprint cookie, these jam filled treats are a delectable dessert any day of the week or at your Purim feast. What is Purim, you ask? There was this bad dude named Haman during the ancient Persian Empire. Haman was the royal vizier […]

I had a great, good ol’ fashion sleepover with a girlfriend last weekend and she told me that the only thing I needed to bring (aside from my PJs, of course) was dessert. I wanted something quick, easy and that I could make with the ingredients in my pantry and I immediately thought of peanut […]
Read moreClassic Almond Biscotti
I think biscotti often finds itself getting a bad rap…since so many people get the single-serve cellophane wrapped kinds found in your local coffee shops.

Read moreChocolate Dipped, Chocolate Chip Macaroons
One of my favorite treats during the Passover Holiday are macaroons. I remember, when I was little, my Grandma Margaret would package up a big box of all kinds of kosher, Passover-acceptable goodies and send them to our house. It was the ultimate care package, filled with chocolate lollipops, canisters of macaroons in a ton […]

Valentine’s Day usually results in a ton of cupcakes, cookies and other treats…all going to your kid’s classrooms, their teachers, friends, and crushes. Why not change it up this year? Whoopie Pies! They are easy to make, they keep well, and when wrapped individually, they are a super cute gift for the Valentine’s holiday. I […]
Read moreOreo Chocolate Chip Cookies
It has likely come to your attention that a lot of my recipes feature Oreos. I’m not necessarily an Oreos fan, but my little sister is. She’s more than just a fan. I don’t think she can go more than a few days without fulfilling a craving for Oreos. They must be double-stuffed. So you […]
