Easy Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
Oh, chocolate. I can’t get enough of you. Lately, any time there’s some down time at home, my 10-year-old son BEGS me to make some cookies, but he always ONLY wants to make chocolate chip cookies. Not that there’s anything wrong with chocolate chip cookies. They’re wonderful. Delicious. Chocolatey. But there’s a whole other world…

Chewy Cinnamon Raisin Granola Bars
Now that my kids are back to school, I’ve been thinking a lot about school lunches for them and day-time snacks for me. In both cases, I desperately want to find better-for-us snacks. The trick is, those better-for-us snacks need to taste good. Frankly, they need to taste better or I probably won’t go…

‘Tis the season for apples and apple recipes! Apples were always my favorite fruit, but I’ve been allergic to them for the last 16 years or so (it’s a long story…something called oral allergy syndrome). Since I can’t eat many of the fresh fall fruits that I used to love, and since I can…
