sorry that i didn't warn about the messy aspect!!!!

how did the strawberry ones get ruined??

Made them too big, but funnily enough, the boys in my boyf's apartment have eaten all but two of the strawberry ones and the plate of chocolate ones (perfect I might add) has barely been touched. Oh well, more for me!

Does anyone else get Food Network's 12 days of cookies?

I tried a new cheesecake recipe for my work potluck tomorrow. Since they made a dessert contest for anybody wanting to bring desserts, I had to do something new and fun. So, it's S'mores cheesecake. Chocolate crust, chocolate cheesecake with a layer of graham cracker crumbs on top, with mini marshmallows on top of that, which I broiled just long enough to brown... I hope it tastes ok!

Yes, but this year's disappointed me. I look for one new recipe a year, and haven't found one yet. Of course, I'm dealing with a family full of allergies.

Have you tried Martha Stewart's website? My roommie makes cookies from there every year. Also, Topsecretrecipes.com has a cookie recipe now, they're recreations of commercial recipes.

foodnetwork's cookies this year are poop!

i like realistic recipes... that are semi easy.

so i've decided to make the following this week:
gingerbread houses & men
cinnamon sugar cookies
cinnamon swirl bars
and those gooey cookies i mentioned earlier - in strawberry (with reg. cool whip) and chocolate (with chocolate cool whip)

donno if i'll do more next week - prolly will since the bf will be outta town.

Ugh I've been conned by the bf to make him a pumpkin pie a week since thanksgiving. Downside: I HATE PUMPKIN! especially the smell... The upside is that its super easy to make.

hehe the holiday thing I love the most is pecan pie! Does anyone else get this on Christmas? It sounds a little thanksgiving like, but I just LOVE pecan pie. I get a little upset after the holidays that noone makes those pies, but keylime pies tide me over.

We need to eat pie together. I heart both keylime and pecan pies so much! And I don't like pumpkin. Though I did discover that I love pumpkin ice cream which is weird.
