First Lady Michelle Obama went head to head with president Obama’s opposing candidate’s wife, Ann Romney in a cookie contest – and Michelle took the cake err cookie. Family Circle Magazine has hosted this cookie contest between the incumbent First Lady and the opposing candidates wife since 1992. Interestingly, the baking contest has correctly predicted [...]

For a Summer Cookout – Hot Dog Cookies!

Ricky Woods — Sat, 14 Jul 2012 13:38:17 +0000

At our house, we just love things that are really cookies in disguise. So, for your next summer cookout make sure you have the beer, the potato salad and the hot dog cookies! I am a recovering cookbook addict. Now, honestly, the only reason I’m recovering is because you can find so many great recipes [...]

More Easter Chick Treats!

How good is an Oreo? How good is an Oreo if you pile a lot of other candy on top of it? Super good – and super cute when you make an Oreo into an Easter chick Oreo. Get yourself some Double-Stuffed Oreos (I’ll admit I bought the generic ones – lots cheaper) and stick [...]

Miranda's "Magic" Cookies

Ricky Woods — Fri, 23 Mar 2012 12:03:23 +0000

Yesterday, Nashville Kat told us about Miranda Lambert’s go-to recipe if company drops by. She calls them “Magic” and, of course, I had to try them. The cookie recipe is super simple which is why it’s perfect for those people who just show up at your place (though, really, shouldn’t they be bringing the treats?). [...]

Ricky Woods — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 15:35:39 +0000

I finally got my copy of Nashville Kat's new cookbook, The Happy Husband Cookbook! I don't have a husband and neither does Wolf but the Iced Orange Chocolate Chip Cookies made us both happy. Very happy. Try them.

Make Homemade Animal Crackers

Ricky Woods — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 12:14:20 +0000

Yes, it’s true – I eat lots of stuff that I shouldn’t. Parents know, though, that only the best is good enough for our little darlings. Which is why I made homemade animal crackers (yes, I know they look like hearts – haven’t you ever seen a wild heart out in the woods?) for my [...]

Girl Scouts Reveal New Cookie

Lynn Quale — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 18:39:28 +0000

I’m pretty sure there isn’t anyone out there that doesn’t love at least one kind of Girl Scout cookie…right? I am totally a Thin Mint lover (actually they are more like an obsession) but I’m excited to give this new cookie called Savannah Smiles a try.The new cookie was created to celebrate its 100th anniversary [...]

Y'all Make Some Redneck Peppermint Bark

Ricky Woods — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 17:55:25 +0000

Well, Darn! This stuff is good. I've always loved peppermint bark but the stuff is so darn fancy (and fancy on my wallet, know what I mean?). But this you can make yourself and it starts with a box of Saltines (or if your wallet is feeling a little fancied, like mine - then the Food Club soda cracker).

Ricky Mangles Martha's Mice

Ricky Woods — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 15:44:39 +0000

It's time to fire up the oven and bake some Christmas cookies! I have a thing for cookies that look like cute little animals so when I saw Martha Stewart's mice cookies I knew I had to bake them. I should have known better.

Bake Puppy Cookies!

Ricky Woods — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 16:34:52 +0000

Not cookies FOR your puppy and not puppies IN your cookies (Goodness! We're not talking horses here!) but cookies that LOOK like puppies. Just the cutest little puppies you've ever seen and (bonus!) the mess they make is entirely edible.

5 Insanely Easy Halloween Cookie Ideas [PICTURES]

Shauna Wright — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 15:40:33 +0000

If you're planning a Halloween party, don't get lazy with the treats and snacks. Just setting out big bowls of candy is not going to cut it.

Instead, how about Mummy Cookie Pops? Or Frankenstein Marshmallows? Or even Mis-Fortune Cookies?

The Heat Has Got Me Cooking…On The Dashboard Of My Car – Part 3

Ricky Woods — Thu, 21 Jul 2011 15:54:55 +0000

Ahhh, sweet, cool breezes…finally, the heat has broken and today’s high of 85 seems so reasonable after what we’ve been through for the last few days. Though cooler temperatures probably averted a trip to the loony bin for some of us, I did grab my opportunity yesterday while it was still scorching to bake some cookies in my car. Yeah, you heard me; I baked cookies in my car!

What Do I Do With All This Easter Candy? Cookies!

Ricky Woods — Thu, 28 Apr 2011 11:03:29 +0000

I love Easter candy but with a two-year-old in the house we suddenly have way more Easter candy than any person should attempt to eat. My downfall (those evil Cadbury people) are the Cadbury Mini Eggs. I thought if I crushed them and put them into cookies I might slow down my consumption.
