Top Recipes of 2014

Well, it's that time of year again. Time for me to say a bunch of cheesy stuff about how much I love you and appreciate your kind comments and encouragement that have motivated me to continue this crazy blog for nigh on four years. I really do love doing this, as much as my family and friends might hear me whining and complaining about how much work it is. Really, it's all fun. Whining is just fun too.

Candy Cane Crunch Brownie Cookies

You may think that in these weeks leading up to Christmas I've been lazing around doing nothing but crunching down candy canes and putting off buying all my gifts till the last minute. This is only partially true.

Maple Walnut Macarons

A few weeks ago I made macarons for the first time ever. I was blown away by how much easier they were to make than I expected. For some reason I just had this instinctive fear of making them, but it proved to be unfounded. Other than the fact that it's sort of annoying to get the food processor out, they really aren't that hard at all.

Anyway, since then I've been in a macaron frenzy, making all kinds of crazy flavors. This time, since I already had the mixer and food processor out, I made three different flavors. One to post this week, then two to save for lazy weeks in the distant future when I don't feel like baking for you guys.

Just don't be too surprised if "distant future" end up meaning "the next few weeks". I just hope you all like macarons.

Reindeer Chow

Hey, did you miss me? I accidentally took a break from blogging last week. Meaning I was too lazy to make anything.

This week... still too lazy.
