I love good food. I love baking, cooking, candy making, canning, making ice cream - basically all aspects of preparing food. I also love to travel (near and far, though sadly, that is on hold for now) and seek out regional dishes or local makers/growers. Each year, I challenge myself to make a few more things from scratch so I am buying fewer prepared foods.

I made these yesterday and they were delicious. They came out lighter and fluffier than other cornmeal muffins I have made. The few that weren't gobbled up with dinner last night, I microwaved for 20 seconds and had with today's dinner. They were just as nice a day later.

These are so easy to make and are the prefect combination of sweet, salty, crunchy and tangy. The first batch disappeared in a flash. I made them again, but didn't have enough pecans on hand, so I used half pecans and half cashews. Also ridiculously good. I will be making these again soon.

I wasn't sure if I would like the cornflakes, so I made half with and halt without. everybody preferred the cookies without the cornflakes even when they were crunchy. After a couple days, the cornflakes on the cookies went soft and those cookies were not eaten. A yummy cookie if you skip the cornflakes.

An easy recipe with a delicious result. It goes with so many things - coconut shrimp, avocado fried and chicken fingers to name a few. Will definitely make again.

Unfortunately, my household were not fans. The recipe was clear and easy, but I think the cornflakes took away from the meringues rather than added to them. Also, though they were sealed up airtight, after a day, one bite and the whole thing crumbled into crumbs and dust.

I have made these several times. They are quick, easy and everybody loves them. I preferred to cut the cinnamon back to 1 tsp. I don't drizzle with extra honey as they are already sweet enough and the drizzle would make them messy for a finger food. You can make as individual 'truffles' (I used a 1 tbsp. scoop) with a toothpick or as one large cheese ball with crackers and spreaders. One time I substituted the goat cheese for more cream cheese (since that is what I had on hand) and found it just as good.

I would like to make this, but have a few questions. It sound like you make the Easy Buttercream OR the Extra Smooth & Creamy Buttercream, is that correct? Are the quantities for the Extra Smooth & Creamy Buttercream correct (there is much less icing sugar and much more liquid than the Easy Buttercream recipe)? For either frosting, how are the 10 Biscoff cookies used? Thanks.

I made these cookies a few days ago and they are delicious! I only had salted butter on hand, so I reduced the added salt, but otherwise followed the recipe. I will definitely make these again.

This cake is tasty all on its own and did stay moist for days. The caramel sauce does make it feel like a special dessert (vs. like a snack bread without). I would suggest drizzling the sauce over individual slices rather than the whole cake. That way people can add more/less or no sauce as preferred and the sauce does not soak into any leftovers.

This pie is delicious. You could skip the curd and top with fresh raspberries or blueberries instead. I will definitely make this again.
