1 cup soft shortening (or half shortening, half margarine/butter for added richness)
1 cup brown...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basMy Mom used to make these when I was a kid. My 3 siblings and I would help twist the dough and add the sprinkles or, if I'm being totally honest, fight with each other until they came out of the oven then stuff our faces. The recipe is from a neighbour but I've tweaked it a bit to avoid using artificial food colouring, which as you know, is the devil.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup Soft...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI love baking Christmas cookies but find myself sticking to a tried-and-true repertoire. (Not that my kids are complaining about being forced to eat Kris Kringles, Candy Cane Shortbread, and good ol' Chocolate Chip Cookies year after year.

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI'm starting a 'Glitter/Sequin/Sparkle Appreciation Society' (p.s. that's GSSAS for short) and you're all invited to join!
It's no secret that I have a deep love for all that glitters and I'm not shy about sharing that love! A few months ago, I shared an obsession for a pair of glittery Miu Miu pumps which got me thinking- why couldn't I find a less...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basOne word: rhinestones. Now, don't freak out just yet. This isn't some tacky, gaudy rhinestone nail art that will leave you looking like a Jersey Shore reject.
The key to subtle, sweet sparkling nail art with rhinestones is keeping it simple. Try not to go bejewelling-happy and overdo it. One rhinestone on a nail looks cuter than 10- trust us!

2 peeled apple slices
2 Tbsp plain yogurt
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp lemon juice
Wash, peel and slice fresh apple (any type will do)...Continue Reading
