One Small Bite at a Time

Food can create memories that will last a lifetime, not only in flavor, but also the moments they are created and shared. My dream is to be able to create these moments and memories by the experiences of my "foodie chic" lifestyle through displaying essential ingredients and stages to having success in culinary school, the tastes of local restaurants, and the sharing and creating of recipes. Similar to an amuse bouche to a meal, a dream starts small and slowly grows into extraordinary.

Christmas Cookies-No Bakes and "Bunnies"

Christmas cookies are always a big thing in our house; eating that is! I enjoy making them and made requests of my family. The requests were chocolate chip, peant butter blossoms, spritz, sugar, "bunnies", and no bakes. The "bunnies" and the no bakes posed as most popular within my house.

"Bunnies"

1 bag rolos
1 bag circle pretzels
1 bag pecan halves and/or M&Ms

Preheat the oven to 375.

Place the peeled rolos in the center of the pretzels and bake for about 2 minutes or just until the rolos are slightly melted. As soon as they are done place a pecan or M&M directly on top of the hot rolo. Let cool before serving.

No Bake Cookies

1 stick unsalted butter
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup milk
4 tbsp cocoa powder
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
2 tsp vanilla
3 1/8 cup quick cooling oats

Bring the first five ingredients to a boil and allow the rapid boil for 1 minute.

Remove from heat and add the vanilla and oats.

Drop a tablespoon worth on parchment paper and allow to cool.

Enjoy!!
