The gift of wrapping // Raspberry and White Chocolate Nanaimo Bars

There are many things I can do. I can count by twos and tie my shoes. I can zip zippers and button buttons. But I cannot. Am unable. Find it impossible. To wrap presents. In even half of a presentable way. It’s true. My presents are not presentable. Every Christmas I come at the job […]

Chocolate Pomegranate Oatmeal Cookies

Are you all as bake exchange-crazy as me?   I’ve controlled myself this year and am only involved in 3 different baking exchanges, one of which is the super fun Food Blogger Cookie Swap, which meant some delicious Andes Mint Chocolate Cookies arrived in the mail from Kristy the other day with a lovely note!
