Cookie Butter Fudge
As a big fan of cookie butter, this seemed like a (not-quite) solution to my habit of eating spoonfuls from the jar. Now in a solid form, it's even more addicting!
Peppermint Bark Cookies
A light, festive holiday cookie for those who enjoy peppermint bark but might prefer something less time-consuming. I wanted a peppermint cookie that was easy and reminded me of Christmas. I think I found it! Made them with my 4-year-old daughter who had fun and kept saying 'mmmm' as she ate them.
Blackened Fish
This blackened fish is cooked in a hot cast iron pan until charred and packed with flavor. This recipe calls for trout, but catfish or red snapper would be equally good. Be sure to have a well-ventilated kitchen!
