Peanut butter AND chocolate chips AND oatmeal? Overkill? I don’t think so. Neither did anybody who tried these cookies.
I found the original recipe on www.browneyedbaker.com and made my first batch exactly as the recipe was written. Then I decided to experiment a little bit.
My first change was to use chunky peanut butter instead of creamy. [...]

Lest you think we are only about sugar and cream and flour around here, take a look at that picture. Black. Bean. Soup. Served over chewy brown rice with a dollop of sour cream, this stuff is heaven.
I got the original recipe here. When I first saw it, I was smitten. I immediately ran out [...]

There it was. Staring at me with sad little orange eyes. Every time I opened the refrigerator, I could hear its insidious whisper:
“Please don’t throw me away.”

Finally, I have the recipe for the Fresh Fruit Muffins. I made these one last time last week, just to make sure that I was satisfied. I was.

This was my second [...]

I came across this recipe while in culinary school. One day, my cooking buddy Jamie came into the kitchens declaring that we had to make these cookies. I think she found the recipe in a mailer from a ricotta cheese manufacturer. At that point, I had never baked with ricotta cheese, and I was skeptical. [...]

Currently cooking out of Whole Grains Every Day, Every Way by Lorna Sass.
Somehow, I managed to buy half of the ingredients for this recipe and half the ingredients for another recipe and didn’t realize it until I started cooking. I ended up with a Frankenstein recipe: the head of this recipe with the body of [...]

Remember this post a couple of weeks ago? Well, ever since then, I’ve been beating my head against a wall called Lemon-Poppyseed Muffins. And the wall has been winning.
From the first time I made these muffins, I thought they had promise, but also [...]
