I’d never before tasted Lofthouse-Style cookies. That was, not until I tested the original version of this recipe for Simply Recipes. Cindy Rahe– pastry gal extraordinaire- developed it.

Valentine’s (or Any) Day Cream Puffs
Major confesh: I’m not a huge fan of chocolate. Yes, there are certain times when a piece of chocolate is necessary, but on the whole, I could do without it. Instead, I like sweets that aren’t overly sweet. Some of the reasons why I enjoy eating cream puffs are because they’re light as air, easy…
Raspberry-Chocolate Ganache Torte
Some people look at architecture and sigh. Others will swoon at the sight of a majestic mountain. Me, myself? I fall to pieces at the sight of a perfect slice of cake. And this shot right here?

Cannolis: Three Different (Delicious) Varieties
Christmastime makes me think of NYC’s Little Italy, for some reason. Little Italy makes me think of Italian cookies and cannolis. Don’t ask me why all of these tie together in my memory. I, for one, am not Italian. We didn’t spend a lot of time in Little Italy, and cannolis weren’t a big thing…

Just look at it…this…this gooey deliciousness! It’s enough to make you want to eat it with a spoon straight from the jar. Which I have…
