    Type out what you want the link to say… then highlight the words and select the link button and paste in the link you want the page to link to… does this make sense?

    I love your blog! I stumbled upon it a few months ago and got hooked! Of all the food bloggers out there I find your eats and recipes the most “realistic” or applicable to the average person’s daily life (at least mine!) I decided I am going to make some of your flourless peanut butter cookies tommorow!!

    I just had to report back!!

    I made your cookies the other day and they turned out great. I didn’t have enough regular PB for the whole batch so I used 1/2 cup reg 1/2 cup dark chocolate dreams and they were quite tasty!! Even my mother, the queen of desserts, said they were D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S!!!!

    Thanks for sharing the recipe!

    Thanks so much for this. This might sound a little strange, but I spent the first couple of years of my teenage lifein Italy, then travelled all over the world. Now I’m living in New Zealand, with my Chinese wife, and son we had whilst in Japan! Truly internationalized, eh? Anyway, I’ve been trying to rediscover the smells and tastes of my youth with some authentic Italian recipes like these, best I’ve found so far! Thanks again, I’ll see if I can add the feed to my google reader tonight, though my son usually does that for me!

    Man, my grandmomma was Italian and she made the most incredible meatballs I ever tasted, like you had died and gone to meatball heaven. Sadly, she didnt leave a recipe for us so I’ve been trying to figure it out by myself… slowly working my through the meatball recipes here, I still cant figure out what her secret ingredient was though!!!

    hmm… you probably need to bake them longer! sometimes they take more time to cook if they’re larger. that’s the only thing i can think of! i wish i could help more. :/

    Try to broil them for a few minutes after they’re done cooking. That makes my sweet potato fries crispier. Hope this helps!

    Hello! I just started reading your blog and LOVE it. You have such great healthy recipes and inspired me to start my own blog!

    I was just wondering, do you ever bake anything for Sadie? I’m having a dog-date with one of my friends today and I was thinking it would be fun to bake some tasty treats for our pups… do you have any good dog-friendly cooking tips??

    Thanks!
