Hey! It’s Sugar Cookie Day!

 
You know what that means, right?
How are you going to look your kids, your husband, your neighbors in the face and tell them you did not bake sugar cookies on sugar cookie day? Don’t even think about it.  It is too awful to imagine.

Chocolate Pie: Recipes for Classic Comfort Food

 
I think I inherited a passion for chocolate from my dad.  He was a chocolate freak. His favorite besides chocolate cake was Hershey’s with Almonds.  Oddly, he disliked chocolate ice cream and chocolate pudding.  Go figure!
He was such a chocolate fan that when we lived in Pennsylvania he used to buy cocoa hulls (that came […]
