Chewy Crystalized Ginger Cookies
These lovely, chewy ginger cookies stay fresh and soft for at least a week after baking – which makes them an excellent bake-ahead option for the holidays (or any time of year, really).
Travel, Homesickness, and Mixed Feelings
Mostly writing this for my future self or anyone else who has a hard time with new situations, sensory overload, and feeling guilty for not enjoying every minute of a “vacation.”
Richmond Half Marathon: Race Review
Richmond is a marvelous place to visit and the race is billed as the “friendliest” race in America – which tracks. It was a lot of fun in spite of deeply unpleasant hot weather.
Easy Pecan Pie Bars
These easy pecan pie bars have me completely sold on never making an actual pecan pie again (even though it’s a favorite). These are much less hassle and not so overwhelmingly sweet.
Apple Cider (Vinegar) Pie
A weird (ingredient-wise) and delightful pie! Tastes kind of like apple pie without the apples? Trust me, it’s definitely worth trying – especially if you’re into sweet experiments.
Freeze & Bake Chocolate Lava Cookies
I’m a big fan of freezing cookie dough for future cookie goodness, but these are awesome because they go straight from the freezer into the oven. And they’re delicious.
