Recipe: No-Bake Chocolate Cookies with Oats
I ran into No-Bake Chocolate Cookies with Oats at a bake sale at my physical therapist. They’re mighty good and will give my Cashew Coconut Clusters some competition as a quick-energy snack. Makes maybe 2 dozen cookies depending on the … Continue reading
Recipe: Chocolate Saratogas
Chocolate Saratogas are the contribution of Mrs. Frank H. Miller, daughter of former Senator from Missouri Edward V. Long, to the Congressional Club Cookbook (1993 Edition). There is a tradition of crackers with chocolate in the South, but I have … Continue reading
Try something different for your holiday cookie exchange.
This year we decided to give cookies from Michelle Hines Abram Thibeault, godmother of our BlueStar stove and a renowned local baker, rather than making them ourselves. Her 2021 deadline has passed, so file that link away for next year. … Continue reading
Recipe: Microwave Nut Brittle
Microwave Nut Brittle is likely better than any store-bought brittle, and also a fun pandemic project. If you involve kids, though, please have an adult do the final step because that melted sugar is HOT. Stolen from King Arthur Flour; … Continue reading
Recipe: Sourdough Banana Bread

Recipe: Cake Cookies
Our cake cookies are not made from cake mix like this appealing recipe, but actual leftover cake of the type that is often found around the holidays. It’s best to use a cake with some body to it or else … Continue reading
Recipe: Chili Crisp Ice Cream
Spicy Chili Crisp is the Sichuan condiment that’s taking the world by storm (our world anyway). It’s crunchy and flavorful without being overly hot, and has a bonus picture of a grumpy housewife on the label. What could be better? … Continue reading
Recipe: Coconut Macaroons
Coconut macaroons are really easy to make if you start with Eagle brand sweetened condensed milk. This recipe is just sweet enough, not overly sweet like the macaroons that taste like candy; I’m adding them to my holiday cookie rotation. … Continue reading
Recipe: Pecan Pie a la Highland Park Cafeteria
It’s generally agreed that the delicious Highland Park Cafeteria pecan pie follows the recipe on the label of Karo Light Corn Syrup. My modest enhancement is to tweak the handling of the pecans and add a few extra nuts. Makes … Continue reading
