Sugar Cookie Showdown

This past weekend I baked sugar cookies using both recipes in the Cook's Illustrated-Food52 showdown. I present to you the winning cookie: Cook's Illustrated Chai-Spiced Sugar Cookies.


Soft center, crisp edges, and the spices add depth to the sugary sweetness. Cardamom -- yum!

Food leads to Energy, Energy leads to Top Performance


After a whole lot of yardwork on Saturday Steve and I found our cupboards bare. Instead of dragging ourselves to the grocery store, we pulled out an MRE (Meal Ready to Eat). This military meal in a bag consisted of penne in tomato sauce, pretzels, shake, fake kool-aid, and two tootsie rolls. Just add water for a piping hot meal in a bag!
