	Chocolate chocolate chip mint cookies by Heidi Namba Have you ever made those chocolate chip cookies that are made with the instant vanilla pudding mix? Those are some of my favorite chocolate chip cookies and every time I make them, people swoon! They turn out perfect and delicious every time. Well, this recipe is based on that one. Except this one uses chocolate instant pudding…	1 vote 878 views
	Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies by Heidi Namba This recipe is kind of a repeat of one of my favorite chocolate chip cookies recipes. The only difference is I substitued some whole wheat flour for a lot of the all purpose flour. Makes them a bit more healthy I suppose. It's never a good idea to use entirely whole wheat flour in a recipe. The general rule of thumb in to replace…	1 vote 440 views
	Chocolate mint cream sandwich cookies by Heidi Namba These cookies were not planned out. They just kind of evolved. I just felt like baking something. Do you ever get that urge? I do quite often and on this day I felt like baking chocolate chocolate chip cookies. I chose a recipe from Food Network for no other reason than it's the first recipe I came across online. It got good…	1 vote 415 views
	Blueberry Muffins by Heidi Namba There was a good sale on blueberries at Fred Myers. I bought too many. The result? Muffins. I love a good blueberry muffin. The only thing is....these were ok quality of blueberries but they certainly weren't flavor packed. The muffins came out beautiful and tasted delicious but the blueberries could have had a bit more flavor &…	1 vote 341 views
	Flour's Chocolate Chunk Cookies by Heidi Namba This is the 2nd recipe from my new cookbook, Flour. I was really excited to try this recipe, as I am about every new chocolate chip cookie recipe I make. I did not care for this recipe. My cookies were super flat and somewhat greasy. Maybe it was the 2 things I did differently than what the recipe called for? The recipe suggest…	1 vote 491 views
	Chocolate Birthday Cake with Crispy Magic Frosting by Heidi Namba Chocolate cake made with oil as opposed to butter always turns out so well for me. I have it in my mind that butter is better and I certainly have made some wonderful cakes using butter but using vegetable oil results in the most moist and best textured cakes I have ever made. Butter always gives baked goods wonderful flavor but…	1 vote 478 views
	Salted Nut Bars by Heidi Namba The most difficult thing about this recipe is unwrapping all of the little caramels. Other than that, this recipe is a breeze. Three ingredients and about 20 minutes of your time and you are finished. Of course you must wait about 2 hours to cut the bars.The orginial Martha Stewart recipe called for dry roasted peanuts. I used…	1 vote 618 views
	Dark Chocolate Layer Cake with White Icing by Heidi Namba The icing that I used on this dark chocolate cake was delicious. I never thought I'd like an icing that has so much shortening in it. It calls for a full 2 cups shortening but I used 1 cup butter & 1 cup shortening. I just love the taste of butter too much to not use any. The heavy whipping cream that I used in it made it so…	2 votes 1 review 651 views
	Brown Sugar Cookies by Heidi Namba I wasn't planning on making sugar cookies but this recipe caught my eye. It seemed simple and delicious and something my kids would eat! Originally I was planning on making a 3 layer lemon cake that I found on a blog but then I realized that nobody in my family would eat it and I get tired of taking entire cakes or batches of…	1 vote 506 views
	Jam bars - Mango & Raspberry with coconut added by Heidi Namba I've made jam bars before. For such a simple cookie, they are completely delicious! They are honestly one of my favorite cookies to eat. I have the most difficult time leaving these alone. I ate 4 of them just during the photography session! But anyway, the recipe on realsimple.com was for raspberry jam bars. I made 2 pans. In 1…	1 vote 306 views
