OK, OK. I get it. You don’t really care about salads and quinoa and beans. That was evident when I took a bunch of cookies outside for my neighbors. Sara, (of Sassy Suppers), was clearly thrilled. “You’re baking again!” she said, before listing all the boring things I’ve been blogging about lately. So I figured […]
I can’t remember exactly how I found out about the Food Blogger Cookie Swap, but as soon as I read about it, I was in. The idea was sort of like a chain letter, but yummier: You sign up, get three names and addresses, and send a dozen cookies to each of the names. Then […]
Today is the U.S. Marine Corps’ 236th birthday — a day of ceremonies, parades, balls and lots of bad sheet cake all over the world. We are going to our Marine Corps ball tonight (where I’m sure the dry cake will still be better than whatever they serve us for dinner), but I wanted to […]
When Toby and I went to visit my BFF Melissa in Toronto over Christmas break, we walked by a super cute bakery that, unfortunately, was closed. We pressed our faces up against the window, though, and I could see “coconut curry shortbread” taunting us from inside. I adore coconut and shortbread. Then, about a month […]
A few months ago, I happened to find some Halloween linzer cookie cutters (those cookies that look like sandwiches, but with a shape cut out of the top part) while I was shopping for something else. They were so cute that I had to get them, but I had to wait forever to use them. […]
A very important event is coming up, y’all. And I’m not talking about a Halloween party. The Georgia-Florida game is Saturday: the epic battle of good vs. evil, sundresses vs. jean shorts. Clearly we’re going to need some cookies. I got these cookie cutters from Williams-Sonoma — the set comes with three cutters and a […]
My neighbor, Joanne, was co-hosting a bachelorette party a few weeks ago, and the other co-host wanted to give everyone a favor. They ordered monogrammed koozies in the wedding colors (purple and silver)… but then they thought they should have something to go inside the koozies. That’s where I come in. Joanne hired me […]
You all know I am a Georgia fan. But since we’ve been living at the Naval Academy, I’ve also become a Navy fan. It’s kind of hard not to, with the midshipmen “marching” (walking) to every home game, the plebes doing push-ups every time the football team scores and that ship-like horn that blows for […]
As a military wife, military reporter and friend of many Marines (and a few sailors), I have done a lot of overseas shipping. I send so many baked goods that the owner of the Annapolis Post Box knows me as “The Cookie Lady.” The first time I sent cookies overseas was almost 10 years ago, […]
