Chocolate Chip Coconut Cookies (with Coconut Oil)
This week, I will be headed to Mixed, my first food blog conference. One of the sponsors for Mixed is OXO -- the makers of some of my favorite kitchen tools (um, shout out to my OXO kitchen scale).
OXO has asked us to share our favorite cookie recipe and help get the word out about Cookies for Kids’ Cancer -- a cause founded by two OXO employees who were inspired by their 2-year old son’s battle with cancer. Cookies for Kids’ Cancer supports people everywhere to help fight pediatric cancer –
Coconut Snickerdoodles
This month, I will be attending Mixed, my very first food blogging conference. I am beyond excited, but I'm also a bit nervous as well. I'm ready to learn all I can, have fun and am really looking forward to getting to know other food bloggers that I've only known by reading their blog posts.
One of the fun events at Mixed will be a Mixed Mini Bake Off, sponsored by Dixie Crystals. Myself, and lots of other Mixed attendees, are posting favorite cookie recipes in the pre-conference "BAKE IT
Rocky Road Cereal Treats
My second favorite flavor of ice cream is rocky road. I don't like marshmallow creme in it though - it has to be real pieces of marshmallows.
I call this candy Rocky Road Cereal Treats because it has those same rocky road ice cream ingredients: chocolate, marshmallows, and nuts. It also includes cereal in it, which in my case, I used Cheerios®.
Chocolate Hazelnut Coconut Bars
Can you imagine winning $1 million dollars for a recipe? As a home cook -- that likes to think-outside-the-box with ingredients -- I've often considered entering recipe contests. But...never have. One million dollars? You would think that would be the right motivation to give it a try!
Last week, the $1 million grand prize winner of the Pillsbury Bake-Off was announced. The winning recipe was a Pumpkin Ravioli with Salted Caramel and Whipped Cream. It sounds and looks delicious -- I've
Chocolate Chip Cookies (Weighing Ingredients for Baking)
I've been quite interested in the method of weighing ingredients for baking...rather than measuring with cups. Every time I stumble onto an article about why it's better to weigh your ingredients, I always stop and devour the information. It makes perfect sense to me. If you tell two people to give you 1 cup of flour, and then you weigh their flour, you would most likely find a big difference in the amounts.

Creative & Easy Food Gift Ideas
If you enjoy cooking, then you probably enjoy giving food gifts to friend and family. Christmas time is the main time I give food gifts. I bake ever year and have piles of goodies to give away to family and friends who live nearby. This wasn't a tradition that my family had, but rather something I learned from my grandmother-in-law and my mother-in-law.
Gift Idea: Cookie Dough Log
Cookies are always a great gift idea, but here's a fun twist on the usual home-baked cookies give a cookie dough log. It's really easy to do -- you just mix up your favorite cookie dough, shape it into a log, wrap it, and add a label which can be handmade or digitally made.
The example above can be found here at Home Cooking Memories on this page: Creative & Easy Food Gift Ideas
I have another tutorial on making your own cookie dough log at Happy To Create: Homemade Gift Idea:
