For some reason I couldn’t get Peanut Butter Cookies off my brain this week. I finally succumbed to the thought and baked a batch of PB cookies.

Yikes, since we finished off that luscious cheesecake so quickly I needed, yes I said, “needed”, to bake something sweet! I decided on gingersnaps. As I write, the first batch is in the oven and I’m going to tell you they don’t look too promising. The recipe said form a dough, no dough formed. It […]
Cheesecake, that is! If you’ve followed my blog you already know this past weekend was a big time at The Orange Bee. Miss T was celebrating her 17th birthday – a little early.
