I met Allegra Stein online a few months ago and she answered my plea on Facebook when I asked if anyone knew of a REALLY, REALLY, REALLY good chocolate chip cookie recipe. I went to my local grocery store to get the ingredients I didn’t readily have in my pantry and whipped up a batch. […]

A Caesar Salad fit to scare the VAMPIRES away
Vampire Slaying Caesar Salad Yes, this caesar salad is that garlicy. If that’s not to your taste just add less, but you never know when Edward Cullen might be lurking around your doorstep right? Although, if you’re one of those Twi-hard types, maybe that’ll be NO garlic for you. I got this caesar salad recipe […]
A pretty delectable chocolate brownie
I love chocolate… Like, really, really love chocolate. I probably weigh 5 (harumphh… er perhaps 10) pounds more than I should because of chocolate. But that’s OK. My love is true, my love is pure. I also love a little magazine called Cooks Illustrated. Every recipe I’ve tried from them has been top notch, and […]
If this isn’t the best SPICY HUMMUS you’ve ever tried I’ll eat my shoe
This is one of those recipes that every time I make it (which has probably been oh, about a thousand times) I get asked for the recipe. I’m happy to share my recipes, especially ones that I feel are my own creation, since I’ve tweaked this recipe to my own tastes. There’s one thing that […]

Elaine’s Clam Chowder
I got this recipe from my friend Deb’s mom. They’re both amazing cooks and I rely on their recipes the way I rely on my moms and I know they’ll be good! I had this soup for the first time about 3 years ago at Elaine’s house. I was there to help give out candy […]
Mara’s Chewy Oatmeal Cookies
My mom is an amazing baker and cook. I’ve pretty well learned all I know from her. Heck I’m almost 42 and I still call her with technical questions on a monthly basis, so lets just say she’s my baking mentor. This, however, is not one of her recipes… it’s my dad’s former secretary Mara’s. […]
Artist, Traveler, Fun-Seeker
Who am I? I’m an artist, a jewelry designer, traveler, writer, beer lover and full time cookie maker. I left my jewelry design business in 2011 to travel around Europe as a (totally awesome) 40th birthday gift to myself and to refill the tank, so to speak. I've started a cookie company called Short and Sweet Cookie.
