I had read on the …

Today’s Tuesdays with Dorie recipe for Blueberry Crumb Cake was chosen by Sihan of Befuddlement. I like blueberries, but only in their firm, slightly sour state…meaning I am not a huge fan of a mushy berry. I am also not a fan of frozen fruit unless it’s going into a smoothie, so I was a …

Okay, here is the deal…when I saw this recipe on the rotation for January 6th, it really did not appeal to me. Reason being…I am not a HUGE fan of pears, I mean I like them well enough to eat cold as a snack, but not so much in form of desserts. I knew that …

I am going to keep this short and sweet. This week I made Dorie Greenspan’s recipe for Grandma’s All Occasion Sugar Cookies. I cut these extra thick because I am not a huge fan of crisp sugar cookies, so I wanted these to be a little soft and chewy. This dough was super soft and …
