October 5, 2012 October is National Cookie Month, a time when we can all rationalize turning a blind eye to our diets and take a bite or two or twenty of one of our favorite snacks. When between meal hunger strikes we all become Cookie Monster's and raid the cupboard for a tasty Oreo or chocolate chip or macaroon. Actually, the type of cookies we like say something about our personality.
September 11, 2012 At first glance this looks like great news. Two of my favorite treats, candy corn and Oreos, are being combined for a limited fall release. However, my palette isn't so sure. MSN reports that these limited edition taste treats will be sold exclusively at Target stores for $3.59 a bag. What do they taste like, you ask?
May 15, 2012 It's National Chocolate Chip Day a day we salute that versatile little chuck of chocolate that can be found in cookies, cookie dough, cakes, ice cream and even pancakes. According to PopularCookieRecipes.com Nestle's introduced the first commercially available chocolate chips back in 1939. Now I know that mom or grandma makes the best chocolate chip cookies but how about the ones you buy at the store?
April 5, 2012 There are certain gastronomic delicacies that are native to Central New York like chicken riggies and greens. Now another one of Utica's favorite taste treats has gotten recognition. MSN has listed the half-moon cookie which originated in Utica as one its "10 Best Regional Desserts" on its homepage.
If you're planning a Halloween party, don't get lazy with the treats and snacks. Just setting out big bowls of candy is not going to cut it.
Instead, how about Mummy Cookie Pops? Or Frankenstein Marshmallows? Or even Mis-Fortune Cookies?
