Try these chocolate chip pretzel cookies to mix up your cookie game. You'll be amazed how yummy they are. Don't crush the pretzels too much – you want 1/4 to 1/2 of tiny twist pretzels in your dough to give the cookies that salty sweet contrast.

Orange Bitters Martini
A popular way to drink your martini back in the 1930s. And not a bad way to drink them now, either. Gin, dry vermouth, and a couple dashes of orange bitters.
Pumpkin Flan
I make this fun pumpkin dessert every year for Halloween in my pumpkin-shaped baking dish. You can, of course, make it in regular ramekins for a non-seasonal dessert.
Kraft Mac and Cheese Tuna Casserole
I call this a classic tuna casserole because it is made with boxed macaroni and cheese and the basic ingredients we all grew up with. This is comfort food at its best, my two favorites mixed together. This is so good that I took a picture of it after having it for dinner and decided it should be shared on my favorite recipe site. You will love it too.
