    September 20, 2019cookwcharacter

    Our first Friday review is a company that if you haven’t heard of yet, you should! Expedition Roasters is a purveyor of Disney and other pop culture inspired coffees and teas. I ordered a couple types of coffee to give them a whirl – and it was so hard to choose! Their flavors all sound…

    First, before I get to the review, let me apologize. This blog was never intended to be silent for so long, but I teach high school and for whatever reason, when I went back to school this year, things have just been SUPER busy from the moment the students came back! I haven’t had much…

    While we were in Disney World at the beginning of August, we took some time to stop at the Boulangerie Patisserie in France. While I was there, I got a Hazelnut Chocolate Beignet. I’d show you a picture… but I ate it too fast. If I hadn’t been so hot, I might have gone back…

    This recipe can be a little involved, but these cookies are worth it. I’ve seen them at many places – one of which is the France pavilion at EPCOT. Since I’m not going to be there for awhile, I decided I couldn’t wait, and wanted to make them at home. They’re light, delicate, and packed…

    Remember how I told you we had a Moana dinner and movie party, and the food was themed around Polynesia? These cookies were our dessert. I came up with the recipe from the ground up, and I’ve been tweaking them for awhile. This recipe is easy, delicious, and you’ll never make enough! They are also…
