If you can't beat 'em, Join 'em!

Inspired by the hellaciously hot days of summer, I decided if I can't beat the heat, I'll join it!  This cookie does just that but in a much more pleasing way than 90+ degree temperatures outdoors.  A dark chocolate cookie is filled with walnuts and dried cherries but what really sets it on fire is the hint of cayenne pepper.  You hardly even realize it's there but it's just enough to light up your taste buds!  They're a seasonal cookie through the month of August, so set someone you love on fire with them soon!

We are obviously back from Ethiopia and we had a phenomenal experience in the country.  Meeting our son was surreal and we are very eager to bring him home now that we have passed court and he is legally part of our family.  Currently the thought is that we will return to bring him home in early September.  We will keep you aware of any temporary website closings while we're away, but for now I'll leave you with a photo of the most handsome boy in all of Ethiopia, Wogene Dasa East!
