This is a variation on a sugar cookie made with coconut oil. It tastes similar to a shortbread cookie, but they are very moist and delicious. Roll tops of cookies in sugar or colored sugar before baking for a festive treat. Cinnamon sugar works well, too.

Tarragon Chicken and Rice Soup
When I make this soup, I always get rave reviews. The tarragon gives it a special taste. Tastes great the next day for leftovers! To be honest I don't measure the ingredients when I make this recipe, so this is my best guess at how much of each I use. This makes a very thick soup, with a bite of something in every spoonful. If too thick, add more water or chicken broth.
Basic Brine for Smoking Meat
This chicken brine recipe for smoking is a very basic brine recipe for preparing meats and fish for smoking. Add any personal taste preferences to the brine for additional flavor enhancement. I like to add white wine, soy sauce, and various herbs and spices. Anything that you like will work, so experiment at will.
Triple Coffee Sweet Rolls
These triple coffee sweet rolls have coffee in the dough, in the filling, and in the icing. With three hits of coffee, these came out incredibly well. They have a beautifully light, tender texture, and a huge amount of coffee flavor.
