Using a basic cookie recipe, I revised it to be gluten-free and instead of the soft cake-like texture that Starbucks® Cranberry Bliss Bars have, these have a chewy, cookie-like texture. Also, I reduced the sugar so they're not quite so sweet.

Fluffy Boiled Icing
This recipe is quite old, and belonged to my mother.
Vietnamese Beef and Red Cabbage Bowl
I love the bold taste of Vietnamese recipes. This Vietnamese beef and red cabbage bowl is packed with flavor and spice and is beautiful in color. I have tried making individual bowls but prefer a family-style serving. Serve with quality jasmine rice and spring rolls for additional savory awesomeness. Add a little sliced habanero pepper to increase the heat level. (I'm from Texas and like heat.)
A Drama Queen's Pavlova
Australians and New Zealanders both claim Pavlova and this recipe is so easy it feels like cheating! I first had it when a friend brought it to our final dress rehearsal and begged her for the recipe! It is especially striking when the fruits and berries are in season. Personally, I like to add coconut for the crunch, but it's NOT sweetened coconut – it's unsweetened, in big flakes, and I get it from the fruit and nut guy at our commissary. It's a real crowd pleaser and the best thing about it is you can make it a day ahead. Just allow the meringue to fully cool and cover lightly with plastic wrap. Top with whipped cream and fruit just prior to serving.
