My blog is quickly becoming a dessert blog, and frankly, I’m kind of happy about it.
I was never the chef in the family. That was always my sister. In fact, when I was 7 and my sister was 6, we started a “business”, or so we would like to think of it, called “Charmaine’s Family Restaurant”. My sister’s name is of course Charmaine. Named after her because she was the cook behind it.
My sister made menus, and created meals such as “daddy’s big breakfast” or “mommy’s breakfast plate”. Prices were reasonable, or so we thought when we were that young. I think we gave the “daddy’s big breakfast” the large (or so we thought) sum of $0.50. But my job was to be the waitress. After about 2 days, my sister fired me. I think I tried to cook the omelette but burned it.
The first job I ever had, and I got fired before I entered the double digits. What a disappointment
Ever since that day, I seem to have let my sister do all the cooking. Which meant I did all the baking. In my opinion, I think I came out on top.
I might try cooking some more later, but for now, I will leave you with yet another cookie recipe.
To be honest, I kind of wish I saved this for Christmas, seeing as the colors look so festive, but I just couldn’t wait. I bought some pistachios, and damn it, I wanted to use them. These cookies lasted all of 2 days. 1 and maybe a quarter if you wanted to be more accurate. I will definitely be making these Cranberry Pistachio White Chocolate Cookies again.

Pin for Later
Love the recipe but I had to throw away the first batch because I added 1/4 cup of salt like what was written on the recipe. The texture was good but it was way too salty. The second time around I didn’t add any salt and the recipe was delicious.
Omg wow thank you for catching that!! It was supposed to say 1/4 tsp!! It is fixed now.
Glad it worked out with no salt!!
