My favorite sugar cookie icing makes gorgeous “professional” looking cookies that stack and travel well.

Easy Sugar Cookie Recipes
I have two easy sugar cookie recipes should have been posted here long ago. The first is an instant gratification, no-chill sugar cookie version. The other is a chilled dough that also makes perfect cut cookies, AND at room temperature is the perfect consistency to use in a cookie press. This time of year, I…

The Best Meatloaf Recipe Ever
This IS the best meatloaf recipe ever…according to my son. “The kids in my class were CRAZY…they didn’t LIKE meatloaf! I couldn’t believe it. I guess it’s just because they had cafeteria meatloaf.” I’m generally not a fan of tooting-my-own-horn, but the other suggestion for a title was ‘meat muffins’…and that just didn’t sound appetizing….
