The Best Crispy Cookie Recipe Much like some people either love cilantro or hate it, the same school of thought could be for a crisp vs. chewy cookie.  This is the best crispy cookie recipe I’ve ever made! The butter I used was a European style butter called Danish Creamery.  It has 85% butterfat, and fat typically aids in a crispier cookie.  I also used...

Mini Blueberry Rhubarb Pie Recipe Mini Blueberry Rhubarb Pie #swoon Making tiny food is one of my obsessions.  My late husband used to get so upset when I made mini of anything – he’d ask “why can’t you just make a big one?”  😂😂😂 My simple pie crust recipe was written in 2016.  It’s great not only for sweet treats like these mini pies, but...

These blueberry tarts are the perfect balance of sweet and savory. If you are new around here, in December 2017 I wrote a recipe for Skinny Pizza Dough.  At the time, the WW plan changed and non-fat yogurt was zero points. Sadly, not sure who started the 2 ingredient dough, but the premise was that if you mixed equal parts self-rising flour and non-fat Greek...

Delicata squash is a seasonal vegetable and you can find it in the months of September through November.  It does have a really long shelf life, so if you can still find them, buy them and they can sit on your counter for...

Yep!  See recipe card below. ...

I first wrote this Snickerdoodles cookie recipe in 2009.  It was buried in a “day in my life” blog post.  Only I knew it was there, because my blog post title was “It Was A Mama Rini’s Day!” No wonder google never picks up my recipes based on blog titles like that one! Interestingly enough, I never even gave you instructions on how long to...

These key lime bites will be the hit at your next BBQ!  I plan on making these all summer. Safe + Fair has what I like to call their summer flavors for me – Key Lime Pie Granola and Strawberry Shortcake Granola – along with their respective popcorn flavors.  Yum!  The key lime is one of my favorites.  It’s light, bright and not overly sweet. ...

These healthy ice cream sandwiches will be on repeat when you realize how easy they are to make. The reason I made these was because my Mom gave me THE BEST ice cream sandwiches I’ve ever had for Christmas.  They are from a brand called Nightingale from Richmond, VA – you can buy them from Goldbelly if you have a special occasion to purchase them. ...
