Great Great Grandma Betty’s Kolachky Recipe

And, just like that, Christmas is over. It seems like the season was especially short this year (probably because Mack’s winter break didn’t start until December 23rd!), but I’m not feeling the typical post-holiday blues (probably because we really did have a nice season of peace and love and toys). When I was growing up, […]


Bourbon Bacon Chocolate Cookies

I’ll never forget my first experience with Maker’s Mark Bourbon. My college roommate Laura returned from summer break with a bottle she had hand-dipped herself at the Maker’s Mark distillery in her native Kentucky.  We drank it straight.  Luke warm.

Unbaked Cookies for a Birthday Baker

My sister Meghan greeted a new decade this week.  Of all the Homemade Mothers I know, she is perhaps the hardest working and most inspiring.  She works full time in advertising, but she still manages to make amazing dinners, keep a tidy house, and find time to snuggle with her sweet baby boy.  She was […]


Pantry Cookies

I had a bit of a sweet tooth last night, but when I opened the pantry I didn’t have enough of any one ingredient to make a single recipe. So, I came up with this cookie recipe using an inventive mix of what was available and it turned out really good!! I baked a few […]
