Triple Berry Pie

Mmm pie.  Do I start all my post about pie that way?  I don’t remember. I have mixed emotions about pies.  I love, love, love to eat them, so let’s set that straight.  However, I’m not necessarily a fan of making them because it’s a bit of a process for me.

Okay, back to your regularly scheduled program.  Desserts.  Summer desserts.  How …

Sweet and Salty Cookies

Are you a fan of the Christmas movies on the Hallmark Channel?  If yes, then get ready to be excited because they just announced their Christmas in July movie schedule! I’m a total sucker for Christmas movies, so rest assured that I’ll be catching most of them next month.  Who am I kidding?  I’m sure I’ll watch them all even if I’ve seen them ten times.  With Christmas on the brain, I thought I’d whip up some cookies.  You know, because cookies are THE thing to bake at Christmas time.  Yes, this is me trying to justify making cookies right now …
