Oh Joy the Baker, you’ve really done it this time. You’ve provided me with an easy recipe, that makes fabulously different and delicious cookies. What kind of cookies, I hear you ask?

As much as I love sugar, spice and all things nice, I often find myself in serious debates with the angel on my shoulder who constantly tells me that I need to eat more healthily. Most of the time I flick her off my shoulder and go hang with the devil on the other side who is…

Why hello there! Long time no speak! Where have you been? Only kidding, more like where have I been? Honestly, I don’t even know. I’ve been in some kind of trance-like zombie world where I have so much work to do and oh so very little time and I just live my day in a very fuzzy…

To be honest, I’m not even sure why I decided to make these homemade…

I love Phoodie. She is brilliant. A baking and phood goddess, if you will. That’s why, I made two of her phabulous recipes today. And man oh man, were they phoodielicious. One of my jobs is being Mary Poppins; I nanny a gorgeous girl Beca who I adore. I got to look after her for the whole…
