These are the cookies we make for holidays, mostly because they’re kind of a pain in the butt to roll and shape. But ooooohhh – they’re *so worth the work. Also affectionately known as “Tiny rainbows of happiness,” these cookies demand taking time to savor and busting out the good coffee. Even though you…
Thumbprint Cookies
The ultimate coffee cookie (along with Grandma Tess’ Pecan Crescents – I’ll post those next.) I remember my mother made these a lot when I was a kid, I think mostly because they aren’t very sweet and we didn’t like them back then. I’m so glad I have the recipe now, though. I’d post a…
Farfalle & Tomatoes

Spanish Quinoa
I discovered quinoa (pronounced “KEEN-wah”) about a year ago. Turns out it’s a superfood. And, it’s tasty. You can basically use it to replace rice in just about any dish but it’s a healthier option. I used to make Spanish Chicken and Rice (Arroz con Pollo) all the time when my…
