I have a fantastic cookie to share with you this week. It’s simple, not too sweet, not too rich and downright addictive. Frankly I am beginning to think anything Matt Lewis and Renato Poliafito (of Baked Bakery fame) come up with is delicious and addictive. Goodness knows their cookbooks as a whole are!

Uncle Chris’s “Fist Sized Meatballs”
In case you are wondering, Alex named the meatballs. She has a sense for the literal, my kid. I was leaning toward “Man Sized Meatballs.”
Salted Browned Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies
I am watching football as I write this. That might be a bad idea. I am reduced to multi-tasking because life has been just so hectic lately–as it is every October, really. Between various birthdays, annual autumnal celebrations, cleaning for my in-laws visiting, Halloween and, well, stuff, I seem to always be gasping for air in…

Shrimp and Chicken Curry with Apples and Basil; Watermelon Sambhar

Recently, John and I decided that we needed a different approach to the girls’ bedrooms, so we made a trip to IKEA. While we were there, we also started thinking about my cookbook problem collection.
#BundtaMonth: Glazed Orange Pumpkin Bundt Cake
I know, I know. I just posted a bundt cake for Bundt A Month. So this probably seems like 2 bundts in one month. But see the thing is, last time I had just discovered the group and was baking along just like you can this month (see below). This month I’m in the door, as…
