It happens to the best of us. A recipe does not compute. As it is written, there are gaps in the description. That is the case with this recipe for Molasses Cookies from my mother’s cookbook A+ in Cooking. The directions are not complete. Any experienced cook can figure out the recipe, but for someone […]
Excellent Cook Nancy brought Friend BB some cookies – Laura Bush’s Cowboy Cookies to be exact. Mrs. Ralph ate one of said cookies, and declared it the best cookie she had ever eaten.

I love this cheese ball. I adore this cheese ball. It might be my most favoritest cheese ball I make. I really really wanted to make this cheese ball before Christmas, but…. It is easy breezy, but somehow it did not get made. So today I made it anyway. Maybe we can have it […]
