Recipe: Valentine’s Day Smarties Cookies
Valentine’s day cookies – with pink and red smarties! What more could you ask for? I know…they could be gluten free. I’ve yet to find a flour that works as well as cake flour – the only problem, I can’t eat them. My staff love them, though and I do heart them. Okay – time to get baking. This is my basic and standard cookie mix with smarties. I’ve made them as chewy rainbow cookies and my favourite, white chocolate chip and candy corn cookies.…

Recipe: Potato Dog Treats
Potato dog treats – why? Because it’s Lily’s birthday, that’s why! Well, her birthday was on Monday and we celebrated in the morning with homemade potato dog treats.

She’s older and we’re afraid to give her too many processed items because we just love her so much. As such, I made her…
