Today I’m sharing another cookie recipe that can be adapted a zillion different ways. (Really, I counted.) The backbone of the recipe is a simple oatmeal cookie; it’s up to you to accessorize it however you like with any type of dried fruit (mango is amazing!), chocolate, and nut. Make them regular size or oversized–they [...]

The kids are almost out of school and the barbecues are warming up, which can only mean one thing–it’s almost time for Father’s Day! The new Father’s Day catalog is hitting mailboxes now, so make sure you look for yours (or order one here).
Here are some of my favorite items:

Friday was a very fun day at Mrs. Fields Gifts. We invited a group of local bloggers to come and get a taste of the Mrs. Fields experience at our Salt Lake City baking and gifting facility.
We enjoyed a delicious lunch and then took them on a tour of our 158,000 square foot bakery and [...]

It started with a caring teacher, Ms. Parker, who always refers to the students in her class as “smart cookies.” For Teacher Appreciation Week, each class decorated a door for their teacher. Ms. Parker’s class had no trouble at all coming up with an idea for their door.

That’s Aly Starbuck there. She’s one of the [...]

There are two types of people in the world: those who love rhubarb and those who have never tried it. For some reason, some people are afraid of rhubarb, but it doesn’t make any sense to me. Rhubarb isn’t scary. I’ve never once watched a horror movie where rhubarb is the villain.
If you’ve never tried [...]

Graduation season is just around the corner. Congratulate your favorite smarty pants with a fabulous cookie gift, such as Professor Who.
I love Professor Who; he’s filled with all sorts of wisdom. Actually, he’s filled with gourmet cookies, brownies, and candy, which in my opinion is a lot better than wisdom.

Baking is equal parts science and art. The science part is obvious–exact measurements, chemical reactions, and convection, among others. The art side is much more abstract, like knowing how to place your fondant flowers on your cupcakes or how to know when your cake is done baking simply by tapping the top with your finger. [...]

Question: Is there anything more blissful than biting into a fresh coconut macaroon?
Answer: No.
Well, that was easy and straightforward, wasn’t it? Want to know what else is easy and straightforward? Making coconut macaroons, that’s what. Seriously, you could make this recipe half-asleep, with one hand, blindfolded on roller skates. You know, if that’s the type [...]

Sometimes Mother’s Day comes and goes without acknowledging some of the most important people in our lives–the “other” mothers that help us become who we are. Sometimes it’s an inspiring aunt, a friend’s listening mother, a wise friend, a professional mentor, a loyal sister, or a cherished neighbor.
Don’t let this year pass by without acknowledging [...]
