My son brought this recipe home from work one day some years ago and asked me to please make these cookies for him. His friend Brian had given him the recipe. Brian's mom had made the cookies and he would bring them in to work and give my son some. My son William said that they were so good that he wanted me to make some for him, so I made them and I loved them as well as my husband, my daughter, my sisters, and everyone else who ate them. Well, then my daughter's friends wanted me to make some cookies for them, so I just gave them the recipe and said go for it yourselves, they are so easy to make. I know you will love these cookies too because they are not the regular chocolate chip cookie variety. They melt in your mouth and you can't eat just one. Thank you to my son's friend Brian and Brian's mom for sharing this delicious recipe with me, wherever they may be.

A special treat that could be used as a quick breakfast on Christmas Day or as a snack during the holidays.

There are many renditions of pistachio cake, but I believe this one to be the original. Through the years, Mum would always ask what kind of cake I would want for my birthday. My answer would almost always be "pistachio cake." To this day, this is one of my all-time favorites.

I can't believe how good these are! I generally hate carrots, even though I love most vegetables and eat them every day. I've been looking for a way to cook carrots that would allow me to add them to my diet. This is it! Thanks so much for posting this wonderful recipe!

A stove-top beef stew recipe. Nothing beats a hearty, savory beef stew that warms you up a cold day and satisfies your hunger.

These muffins are super super moist and tasty. Blueberries, bananas and apple really moisten up these muffins, also whole wheat flour, oats and flax seeds add the nutrient and nutty-tangy flavors. They are great for breakfast to start a day!

The muffins came out super moist, soft in the inside, and golden-brown on the outside, they looked so inviting. Chunks of pink rhubarb and yellow apricots were in every bite. Great for breakfast, snack or any time during the day.

This recipe is easy to scale down. A filling, tasty yet wholesome one pot meal that's perfect for busy week days.

A nutty and dense loaf. Great with peanut butter, or make a delicious German sandwich.

Next time make your own sauerkraut instead of store-bought, it's so easy to make, and there is no comparison between this two versions. Homemade one tastes a lot better, I just made my second bunch. I finished the first bunch within 3 days :-)
