I love oatmeal cookies. I love them with raisins and without. I love oatmeal lace cookies and oatmeal cookie bars and ones with nuts in them and… well, I think you get the point! They are without a doubt in my list of top three favorite cookies, perhaps even in the number one spot. Recently […]
It’s been a couple of months since I have written about a cookbook, and I must say, this book is worth the wait. The book came to my attention as part of the #rainydaybitescookbookclub on Instagram.
