Famous for underbaking foods or always burning them?  The problem could be your oven. Inspired by my recent blog post on chocolate chip cookie cakes, I made a batch of cookies today.  I am famous for forgetting food in the oven, so I made sure to set a timer.  The bake time for the cookies was supposed to be 8-10 minutes.  I set the timer for 8 minutes, and went to fold some laundry.  I went back to the oven when the timer rang and the cookies were not even browned.  Set the timer for two minutes.  Came back, still not don...

I love cookies.  I really do.  It is a simple pleasure, and one I like to indulge.  I like to experiment and find new recipes.  I especially like to get cookies that I hear others sing high praise for.  The Minnesota State Fair has a beloved cookie vendor called Sweet Martha's that people love.  I heard about it from just about everyone I met when I moved to Minnesota a couple summers ago.  I even heard about it on the message boards at Chow.com, a foodie website where users share food experiences.  My husband was set on getting some Sweet Martha's cookies, which, I should add, are sold in buckets....

My eating habits these days have been absolutely dismal. I’ve been surviving on my tried-and-true tortilla pizzas. I ate one almost every night this week. Embarrassing. Plus, I’ve been pinching pennies in order to save up for a new roof (a home improvement project that definitely does NOT fall in the “fun” category) so I’ve been trying to use ingredients I have on hand in my pantry and fridge. BTW: Anyone have a recipe that calls for a York Peppermint Pattie and Pepsi?  So, while I can&rsqu...
