FAIL! Coconut Lime White Chocolate Chip Cookies
hah ha! I totally screwed this one up!! Rick’s company does a months worth of fund raising every year for the United Way. There are lots of ways to participate, but they do a week long bake sale, so I thought that’d be a perfect way for me to contribute.

Forget the Fruit Cake… Make Fruited Biscotti!
Holiday Cookies are a tradition in every family! I’m always kind of overwhelmed by the CHOICES around the holidays!! Recipies you’ve forgotten about, and ones you never even imagined come crawling out of the wood work! My mother is very Italian, so in my house, we have biscotti. She makes a traditional anise biscotti through out the year. Sometimes she mixes it up with chocolate… but one year, she came up with this. [...]
