A Recipe Blog
For the most part, I’ve never been a huge fan of candy bars. They’re fine but I can usually think of other sweets I’d rather indulge in. However, there are a few exceptions to that rule; namely, Butterfingers. They are a major weakness of mine. [Read more...]

Caramel Cappuccino Cookies
Being a food blogger certainly has its perks. There is never a shortage of tasty food around here. I’ve made many wonderful friends in the community and sometimes I even get free stuff. It’s pretty awesome. There is one minor problem I deal with: tons of leftovers. I cannot possibly eat all of the cookies and other baked goods I prepare so I’m constantly giving food away. Since I work from home, Jeff’s coworkers usually get the majority of my leftovers.
A few weeks ago I was chatting with several other bloggers on Twitter and we were joking that we wished we could have each others leftovers. And it dawned on me… why not? Why don’t we exchange leftovers sometimes? Why are people I don’t even know enjoying all of my food when there are so many other bloggers making yummy treats that I’d like to get my hands on?

Irish Cream White Chocolate Chip Cookies
Tell me your life story in 15 songs... That’s not how this started. I was trying to come up with a list of my top 5 favorite songs of all time. A daunting task for sure but a girl needs something to keep her mind occupied while cleaning the kitchen. What defines a favorite song? To me it’s something I can listen to over and over again for years and never grow tired of it. It didn’t take long for 5 songs to turn into 10. And then I forgot an important song which caused my top 10 list to turn into 11 and it was unthinkable to remove a single one. As I looked over these 11 songs, I noticed something. These weren’t simply my favorite songs. Each song represented a time in my life. These were the songs that saw me through the good times as well as the bad. From there I began to fill in the gaps and here we are. My life in 15 songs. I’m breaking it up over a few posts to make it easier for me to share and perhaps easier for you to read. And here’s a disclaimer: it gets personal. I won’t be offended if you skip to the recipes. I promise.

It’s no secret that I love Momofuku Milk Bar. It’s one of my favorite bakeries and cookbooks. When I made the crack pie no one could not stop eating it (total crack). I don’t have much to tell you about these corn cookies except that they are my absolute favorite cookie in the entire universe. And that’s saying a lot because I love cookies. I gave an interview to a local DC website a few months ago and they asked me to rate my order of preference for cake, pie and cookies. Without hesitation I said “cookies” first (the other two are interchangeable for me). It’s partially because I’m addicted to cookie dough. Also, I love nothing more than a hot cookie fresh out of the oven. It’s portion control (even though I never eat just one). These are beyond incredible. They appeal to my love of weird food. They’re like a sugar cookie but with a strong corn flavor. Almost a sweet corn muffin cookie. Pure bliss.
There are a few unusual ingredients that you’ll have to track down. Bob’s Red Mill makes corn flour and you should be able to find it at higher end grocery stores like Whole Foods. As for the corn powder, I recommend buying it directly from Momofuku’s website. The price is very reasonable and contains enough to make several batches of these cookies. And trust me, you’ll want to make them again and again.
Just make these. You won’t be disappointed.

Today I’m joining several other bloggers to take part a virtual potluck hosted by Kitchen Play. We’re all preparing recipes from An Edible Mosaic: Middle Eastern Fare with Extraordinary Flair by Faith Gorsky. I was tasked with making date-filled cookies, a recipe that I’ll admit was a bit outside of my comfort zone. Up until now I’ve had zero experience with preparing Middle Eastern cuisine.
