Some recipes are just so good that they are just a standby that everyone expects. I have been asked many times for my chocolate chip cookie recipe – I refer them to the Nestles package. The same goes for my standard pecan pie – it’s on the corn syrup bottle or at the Karo website. […]
Year: 2010
My favorite time is around the holidays and I’ve begun my annual holiday binge – an excuse to bake without restraint!
