Try This: Dip-Dyed Marshmallows
We've seen just about everything dip-dyed over the last year: kitchen linens, tableware , Easter eggs , and now marshmallows! They're ridiculously simple to make and perfect for a party. Kristin of Idlewife in Canada is always up to something splendid, something simple with a big payoff. And that's exactly what these little tasty treats are. Kristin simply mixed a few drops of food coloring with some water, dipped her marshmallows in, then dried on a cooling rack.

Triple Chocolate Scones: a “dark” start to Thanksgiving Day
Thanksgiving is SO not about chocolate. Chocolate cream pie? Maybe. But chocolate cake? Chocolate chip cookies? Chocolate ice cream?

Gobble latte coffee spoons
This isn't just a sweet recipe, but it's a fun craft too! Serve these elegant melting spoons with your after-dinner coffee or hot cocoa. They are fun for kids, but beautiful and festive enough for adults.
This recipe was born of desperation. And a full measure of devotion. With a soupçon of despair… Despair at the fact that Girl Scout cookies are only available during a certain window of time each year.
Peanut Butter-Oatmeal Sandwich Cookies: brownie points
Recipe: Irish Shortbread Toffee Bars Recipes from The Kitchn
Of my hundreds of cherished cookbooks, my old school community cookbooks rank at the top of the class. (Bonus points if written by a Southern Junior League!) I love reading these retro tomes for entertainment, but they are often the first place I turn for new recipe inspiration, as well. Last week I dusted off a particular favorite— Notably Nashville —for a little late night reading. As I paged through it, I was amazed at the number of recipes that sparked my interest, and thus made a mental goal to start utilizing the books more often. (Because I never seem to have enough cooking projects.)
3 Delicious diabetic-friendly dessert recipes
Do you, or someone you know, have diabetes? Chances of this are high, given that over 28 million people in the U.S. are diagnosed.

Lucky for you, we've whipped up three deliciously decadent (yet still healthy) and low-sugar desserts for those in your family or friends struggling with diabetes. Each of these desserts may be low sugar, but they aren't lacking in taste!

“It’s not nice to play with your food.” Sure it is! You know how you take leftover bits of pie crust dough, sprinkle them with cinnamon-sugar, and bake up a crisp, buttery/sugary treat? Baker John Homrighausen at the Ranch Bakery in Houston, TX does these scraps one better. Riffing on an idea from a blog he read, Homrighausen cuts pie crust dough in even strips, brushes with butter, sprinkles with cinnamon-sugar, bakes, and serves the “fries” in little french fry bags, just like you’d get at your local fast food joint.
Pie fries!

Individual Whole Peach Pies
Q: Do you have any recipe suggestions for a really healthy granola bar? I like making my own and sometimes I feel like there's too much butter or sugar. Should I throw in chia seeds or some other kind of super healthy ingredient?
