For some inexplicable reason, people usually put bacon (usually in the form of bacon bits) in their twice-baked potatoes. I don’t really get it; it isn’t necessary at all! Of course, if you like bacon I’m sure it’s very nice, but that doesn’t so much work for me :D. Don’t worry, though, these potatoes have Sean’s seal of approval, and he actually likes bacon (weirdo). These aren’t as hard as they might sound–most of the prep time is actually just in the baking, which you don’t have to attend to much.

These cookie sandwiches started as an attempt to recreate Thin Mints (and if you stop before adding the filling, you’re reasonably close to them), but ended up as an accidental experiment in the taste buds of my various family and friends and which of them tasted which part of the deliciousness the most.  Out of four male and four female tasters, the men always tasted one flavor, and the women always tasted another — but which tasted raspberry and which tasted mint, I’ll leave it to you to find out for yourself.  🙂

Hey look, no soup! Since I had a chance to work on the blog post recipe before Friday, you get a dessert (or breakfast) instead. Yes, I just said these muffins could be dessert OR breakfast. But it isn’t healthy to eat desserts instead of breakfast, is it? Well, no. However, these muffins are not nearly the sugar-load that commercial muffins are. So, while these are a tasty enough treat to serve as dessert, you don’t have to feel too bad if you eat two for breakfast on the run (as I did this morning).

It doesn’t look like much at first glance, maybe, but — it’s flaky.  And boy does gluten-free not like to do flaky.  This is a treat you have to work for, but it’s worth it in the end.

It’s Friday in Lent again, and lo and behold, I’m posting another soup. This one is so delicious I don’t have pictures for you–we were in a hurry, so I intended to take a picture of a bowl of the leftovers. Unfortunately, there weren’t any! Well, I suppose you could consider that fortunate, as it means three people polished off a single batch of this recipe.
