Pecan Shortbread Cookies

BlogHerFood 09 & Cherry, White Chocolate and Pecan Blondies
This weekend I had the pleasure of attending BlogHerFood09 in San Francisco. I had the opportunity to meet all of the foodbloggers who had inspired me to start my blog.

Oat Crisps with Marscarpone Cheese and Blueberries
Plush Nightclub These oat crisps will make a great base for desserts. They are light and crisp.

Oatmeal Scotchies

The cookie became so popular that the city named it the “Official Cookie of Yorba Linda”. Over the last [...]
