I hate Anisette Cookies with the fiery passion of a thousand burning suns.
Yeah, I said it. A food blogger started off her own blog post by saying "I hate these cookies." However, my husband adores them. He loves whenever I make them. #TheThingsWeDoForLove
He can't get enough of all things anisette, anise, or licorice. If you're anything like him, then YOU'RE WELCOME for this recipe.
If you don't like licorice or anise....
I’m gonna be...
Full disclosure: these Totally Different Chocolate Chip Cookies are unlike any other chocolate chip cookie you've tasted.
So different, in fact, that I debated posting this recipe. I even debated calling them "chocolate chip cookies."
In the end, though, these cookies were just SO. FREAKIN'. GOOD. that I decided it'd be selfish to keep them to myself.
(You're welcome. Manners cost nothing.)
Why are Totally Different Chocolate Chip...
I swore that I'd never make Carrot Cake for the blog.
But, here I am, gleefully breaking that promise.
Why is Carrot Cake the book-inspired recipe for Love Like That?
Okay, everyone take a moment to click on the link to my book review for Love Like That.
Now, look at that book cover.
That is clearly a Carrot Cake. And it looks freakin' delicious.
How could I not make carrot cake as the book-inspired recipe after seeing that?...
Listen up, Tartlets! I'm bringing you summertime vibes in cookie form with Miami Vice Cookies. What do you mean, Miami Vice? Before we go any further, let me clear one thing up: when I say "Miami Vice," I am not talking about the TV show. I'm talking about a DRINK. You all know that I don't love alcohol; I don't care for wine or beer or cocktails or anything like that. A Shirley Temple is my I'm-At-A-Bar beverage of choice. The exception...
Get ready to beat the heat with Super Simple Lemonade. This is the lemonade I drink on repeat every summer. It’s the lemonade that I serve at BBQs, potlucks, holidays -- pretty much any warm-weather shindig going on at my house will have a pitcher of this on the table (along with my homemade iced tea). Why is Super Simple Lemonade the book-inspired recipe for When No One Is Watching? The entire time I was reading When No One is Watching, all...
A new door into the World of Desserts has opened for me, thanks to Chocolate Orange Truffles. Say it with me: "Homemade chocolate." Sounds daunting, right? Like, sure, maybe you could do it, but only if you had way more time on your hands. Or, if you were a character in a Hallmark movie fleeing to Europe after a bad breakup. WRONG. Get ready to be amazed, Tartlets. Making Chocolate Orange Truffles is way easier than I ever thought...
How did I go all these years of my life without ever tasting Bara Brith? This Welsh tea bread is a little like a scone, a little like a fruitcake, and a LOT like something I want to eat everyday for the rest of my life.
Why is Bara Brith the book-inspired recipe for The Bone Houses? The Bone Houses is steeped in Welsh folklore, and one of the first foods mentioned in the book is Bara Brith, a traditional Welsh teatime treat....
Making Raspberry Rose Profiteroles is back-breaking work. Wait, no, I’m totally kidding! These profiteroles are my first book-inspired recipe since my back surgery, so let’s just say that easing back into food blogger life is…interesting. I actually picked Raspberry Rose Profiteroles to launch my comeback because they are so super easy to make. My long-standing love for profiteroles There was a time I made profiteroles on the...
It's just not Christmas without Jam Thumbprint Cookies on my dessert table. Why are Jam Thumbprint Cookies the book-inspired recipe for Christmas Joy? Even though I didn't grow up baking these little cookies filled with fruity goodness, they've become a Christmas cookie staple in my home over the years. Which is why I think they're the perfect book-inspired recipe for Christmas Joy. Main character Joy spends hours baking dozens and...
There's nothing like a festive Gingerbread Cake to give you all the Christmas feels. Except maybe several Gingerbread Cakes. Why is Gingerbread Cake the book-inspired recipe for N0S4A2? I had to make Gingerbread Cake as the book-inspired recipe for N0S4A2. Had to. Remember that creepy guy Bing in the book? Yeah... he uses gingerbread-scented sevoflurane to gas his victims. Yes, that's a morbid connection, but aren't you used...
