Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

I've made several crinkle cookie recipe. This is the BEST recipe so far. Rolling the cookies in granulated sugar before rolling them in confectioners' sugar makes a difference. My favorite part is that the cookies are still crispy on the edges and gooey/chewy in the middle....even on the second day.

Hopefully, you like it as much as we did.

Strawberry Shortcake Dessert

I love this cake because it is so easy to make. It has basic ingredients and it makes a large sheet cake so it is great to take to pot lucks and parties…..or you can eat it all yourself.  This cake is easy to make, cool and refreshing. I hope you like it as much as we do.

Roasted Smashed Potatoes

These potatoes make a perfect potato side dish. They are crunch and creamy, easy to make and full of flavor without much fat. I love them plain with sea salt, fresh cracked pepper and a bit of olive oil. I enjoy them with chopped rosemary and I've also made them with chives and thyme.

It seems like a recipe repertoire always needs another good potato side dish. You cook red potatoes until they are fork tender and then mash them flat onto a rimmed baking sheet. Brush them with a little olive oil, salt, pepper and herbs to taste. Pop them into a hot oven and allow them to become crispy. I hope you enjoy these potatoes as much as we do.
