My family loves banana bread. I even have a favorite “go to” banana bread recipe. However, I bake it and we enjoy it at home. I don’t mail it. A very, very long time ago, my mother sent me a care package at college. It wasn’t a regular occurrence, so I was pretty excited. I’m…

Hot Chocolate Mix and Mini-Marshmallows
Technically, this blog is about baked goods and this post isn’t about something baked. However, it’s the winter. It’s cold outside. Thoughts stray toward warm steaming mugs of something soothing. Some wintery locations simply call for more than a glass of milk when it comes to cookie dunking. May I suggest creamy hot chocolate with homemade marshmallows?
Apple Pie Pudding Cookies, Lemon Meringue Pie Pudding Cookies, Grasshopper Pie Pudding Cookies
In most cases, mailing a pie in a care package is not a good idea. Crème pies need refrigeration. Fruit pies leak. All pies don’t appreciate being turned upside down or being tossed about. Pies are not sturdy and sturdy is what you look for in care package baked goods. So how about something that…

My son adored these bars. Once a week, after middle school, a Fantasy Bar was his after school snack. For some reason, Starbucks…

Last week, my friend Laurel asked if I was going to write a post for Chanukah. I told her, “Sure!” Really, I had no idea what I was going to write about. In my house we have a cut-out lemon cookie that is a Chanukah tradition, not traditional but a personal tradition. I have made…
Honey-Roasted Peanut Cookies
