Peppermint Snowballs by Robyn Savoie'Tis the season for cookie making! Get in the spirit with these tender, bite-size peppermint cookies. They will look pretty on your holiday cookie plate. Especially if you make them using the red peppermints and the green spearmint candies and red/green food coloring for the filling. |

Perfect Pie Crust by Libby StarchildThis is from an old church cookbook that my grandmother had. It's a great, simple recipe that can be used to help a little girl make her first pie. I've made single-serving pies in muffin tins, tarts, meat pies (after the pie is sealed you can make a braided edge to make it look pretty). Just be very careful not to work the dough… |

St. Patrick's Day Pistachio Bundt Cake by Nancy MiyasakiI made this cake in advance of St. Patick's Day to test if it would be worthy of that occassion.

Pumpkin Cookies with Icing by Nancy MiyasakiI served these at my October book club along with the Pumpkin Macadamia Bars. They were good, and the icing makes them attractive, but the Pumpkin Macadamia Bars were the bigger hit. That said, they make an attractive combination and it's fun to try one of each. So if you are looking for a nice combination of sweets to put out on… |

Williams Sonoma Triple Chocolate Brownies by Nancy MiyasakiThis is a very popular recipe that I simplified a bit without losing any of it's goodness. You can serve these when you feel like a dark chocolate cake but don't have time to hassle with it. They make a wonderful end to any meal! They are super chocolaty, so they go really well with a scoop of vanilla or coffee ice cream! |

World Champion Oatmeal Bars by Nancy MiyasakiI make a lot of tasty brownies and bars, but few have gotten more raves than these. Of course, I served them to a bunch of SF Giants fans after the Giants won game 2 of the 2010 World Series...so the taste of victory may have mixed in with the chocolate, caramel, and oatmeal crunch of these yummy bars. Even without savoring the… |

Addiction Brownies by Nancy MiyasakiMy friend Joelle brought these to our book club last week and they were a huge hit! Her family affectionately calls them "crack brownies". I had to soften that up a bit...but wanted to capture the fact that these really are addictive! This is adapted from a Martha Stewart recipe. |
