Cherry Apricot Muffins ~ #MuffinMonday

June 4, 2012

Apricot-Sage Cookies

Coconut Macaroon Nests

April 5, 2012

As a child I can vividly remember my grandmother, as well as my mother making coconut wreaths at Christmas. They were coconut macaroons shaped like wreaths and decorated with little cinnamon candies. Such delightful little cookies that bring back such wonderful childhood memories. I adore coconut and recently found myself traveling a long thought process that [...]

Mocha Chocolate Eclairs ~ #FirstOnTheFirst

Chocolate eclairs are one of those things that make my mouth salivate as I gaze longing at them through the glass of the bakery case.
