Healthified Homemade Snickerdoodles recipe from Live Better America. S'mores Cookies. These cookies are every bit as delicious as they look. You may have noticed that I have been in a s'mores kick lately. First with the cookie dough pops, then with these cookies. I also plan to make additional s'mores themed treats this weekend. I saw a version of s'mores cookies on Make and Bake and became immediately intrigued. I knew I had to try to make these...the sooner the better. I ended up making these cookies right before I went to Hilton head with my girlfriends and they were dangerously delicious.

Mocha Swirl Cookies. Sometimes you just need a cookie.And the occasional fairy tale. This past weekend I spent time with both. As a collector of the old sort of fairy tales, I can tell you they have a definite adult edge. Most aimed to teach children the consequences of bad behavior with scare tactics and not-so-happy endings.

It's a far cry from the stories today that are meant to calm and lull children to sleep. I find them so interesting, comparatively. So, what goes with a grown-up fairy tale? Hours later, the caramel bug bit me -again!
