Since launching the website, I've gotten quite a few questions about the cookie on the homepage. Well, friends, it's a copycat from the famous Levain bakery in NYC.

Read MoreIf there's a gathering, and I'm in charge of snacking, you bet I'll whip up a batch of Chex Mix. It's quick, festive, and you can taste test without anyone knowing. Over the past few years, I've created some scrumptious combinations. AND, since I'm having so much fun with The Cookie Book Project, I've decided to design a book filled with my favorite Chex Mix combinations. Through the next few seasons, I'll share my favorite mixes.

Read MoreLemon Log cookies hold a special place in my heart. Each Christmas, my late Grandmother would bake multiple batches of Lemon Logs and ship them to Texas for us to enjoy. Before she passed away, we were lucky enough to bake cookies together, and I'll continue her tradition each holiday season, or whenever I'm feeling sentimental.
Read MoreYou know it's officially springtime in Texas when the bluebonnets bloom. Something about those fields of blue and coral makes for a magical change of seasons, right? After leaving Texas for a couple of years, I now fully appreciate the bluebonnet presence and love finding a field for a quick picture (or ninety).
