Gluten-Free Red Velvet Cake

Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies
The running joke on this blog has become my love for Oreos. I’ll bake anything and everything having to do with them. These cookies were fabulous – a pairing of two classics: chocolate chip cookies and Oreos. They’re easy to…
Spumoni Cookies
Spumoni! Spumoni is an Italian ice cream made with layers of different colors and flavors. Cherry and pistachio are common flavors — but chocolate can also be used. I love anything spumoni-related, because I love cherries and I love pistachios….
