Recipe: Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies – main reason, I had oatmeal that’s not gluten free that I wanted to use up non gf oatmeal, thus, this recipe.

Ingredients 2 cups of cake flour 1 teaspoon of baking soda 2 teaspoon of corn…

Projects: Halloween Treats
Halloween Treats Yes. It’s Halloween – the holiday of candy – tomorrow. Are you ready? We are. You know I like to make big treats for the kiddos in our neighbourhood. There aren’t that many houses on the block and, well, the driveway is long. So they should get a special treat. I never know how many trick-or-treaters we’re going to get. In 2012, our first year, I was managing a bar and I totally forgot the next day was Halloween. So I stopped at…
