St. Patrick’s Day Cookies

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!!  We had a debate this morning at work whether or not you had to be Irish to participate in St. Patrick’s day.  Clearly, only the people who were not wearing green thought that their non Irish lineage made them exempt which was ignored completely.  And, despite the rain and cold and […]

I feel very fortunate to be able to eat wheat or flour or whatever it is that causes people Celiac disease, and  I have not had much experience with eating or cooking gluten free.  However, after spending some time with friends who suffer from Celiac disease, I thought I should add some gluten free recipes […]

Peppermint Kiss Cookies

My sister-in-law is an excellent baker.  She makes the best chocolate chip cookies, brownies, etc, and she is incredibly generous with her baking.  I am not sure where she finds the time as she is also a lawyer.  We went to an oyster roast this past weekend with her and my brother, and she brought […]

Peanut Butter and Jelly Cookies

We have survived the first week back to school- it actually was relatively easy.  Walker came home the first day saying that he had the best group of teachers which is always good, and more importantly, he has not had too much trouble waking up in the morning.  The main change in school this year […]

The Best Ginger Snaps

The temperature has dropped to a very lovely 68 degrees, and I went for a great ten mile hike this morning.  Well, it was only supposed to be about 6 miles, but I got lost, and I saw a bear, so it ended up being about 10 miles.  The bear didn’t have anything to do […]

What to do in a heat wave?

The entire East Coast seems to be in a massive heat wave, and Twilight is no exception.  Clearly it is not as bad up here as it is in New York City where the temperature is currently 99 degrees with a “real feel” of 107.  That is not a lot of fun.  So, we have […]

Homemade Oreos

I just read that over 362 billion Oreos have been sold since they first came out in 1912.  That statistic is very relieving since I thought that I might be partially responsible for a decent percentage of their sales.  Clearly, with that many sold- I am not.  However, it just proves that there are many […]

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Sometimes there is nothing better than a chocolate chip cookie.  I used to make them all the time when I was little- starting from scratch with the recipe on the back of the Nestle Toll House yellow bag.  So great.  Of course, eating the dough was my favorite part, but warm chocolate chip cookies are […]

Lemonade and Gingerbread Angels

I am trying so hard to get into the Christmas spirit!!  But when it is over 80 degrees, and Walker and two of his buddies have a ragingly successful lemonade stand in the middle of December, it just does not feel like Christmas.  So to combat the feelings of summer, I made gingerbread angels over […]

The annual Charleston Christmas Parade was yesterday afternoon.  I haven’t been to the parade in maybe twenty years, and it was so much fun.  The parade route runs right in front of the Charleston Library Society where I work, and it is definitely one of the best places to watch the parade.  First, the steps […]
