Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Discovering your child has food allergies is hard. As a new parent, I was aware food allergies were a possibility. I even know several people with allergies, so it was definitely front of mind.

Coconut Macaroons
Happy Easter and Happy Passover! Actually, I really like to say Hoppy Easter and all the other cheesy egg themed puns, but I’ll spare you all my Dad humor (for now).

Cranberry & White Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
There is a home video of me as a little girl in which my family is decorating Christmas cookies. Apropos of nothing, I look at my father, who is shooting the video, and say very loudly “I like ice cream and Christmas!” We weren’t even having ice cream at the time.
