The Pescetarian and the Pig

Cinnamon Nutmeg Snowball Cookies. Or Russian Tea Cakes. Or Mexican Wedding Cookies. Or whatever else you might call them. You guys, this is the 3rd year in a row that I have had this recipe sitting in my drafts and I almost forgot to post it before Christmas (like I did last year and the […]

Brandy Spiked Eggnog Cookies. Yes. Please. OMG. It shouldn’t surprise anyone that I love brandy spiked desserts, especially with eggnog and especially for Christmas. And I’m always looking for something unique and surprising to bring to various Christmas parties, but I also don’t want to be in the kitchen for a million hours. These cookies […]

Pumpkin Butter Stuffed Pumpkin Spice M&M Cookies. I really can’t believe that pumpkin season is already upon us… But it is! This year, while searching for early Halloween decorations, I stumbled across Pumpkin Spice M&M’s. YES! Can you believe it?! I couldn’t. Since I’m a sucker for anything pumpkin spice flavored, I went ahead and […]

Double Chocolate BBQ Potato Chip Cookies. Did I do it? Oh, yes. Yes, I did. I saw a million different photos of potato chip chocolate chip cookies and I thought “You know, I really don’t like potato chips… But I DO like BBQ potato chips!” I also really like chocolate.

Yin Yang Cookies.Harmony. Balance. Two wildly different things uniting to make something truly wonderful. The yin yang. This week has had a lot of the balancing act going on for me. For example: being a 5:30 am gym goer, but not wrapping a photo shoot until 1:30 am, then trying desperately to stay awake all […]

Dark Chocolate Toffee Chip Cookies Are you cool with me moving on from an entire month of completely healthy eating with no desserts? I sure hope so, because these cookies are just begging for you to make them… and eat them. It’s a groundbreaking concept, I know, I’m still trying to wrap my head around […]

So, do you have any plans for Valentine’s Day? When I worked as a waitress at an Italian restaurant chain, I remember how ridiculously crowded the place was on Valentine’s Day. The restaurant was packed, there were people overflowing out the door of the lobby while they patiently waited for a table to share a […]

Ginger Molasses Thumbprint Cookies I have been dying to try out my own version of a ginger molasses cookie for years. Seriously, years. For some reason, I thought this was going to be a very daunting task, but it wasn’t! And as soon as I had the idea to turn them into thumbprint cookies filled […]
