It occurred to me as I was typing this up that this is an almost cruel blog for some of you. With the new year’s arrival, there are a lot of dieters amongst us. I am not one of them. It’s not because I am on of those blessed with a high metabolism or am naturally thin. I am a woman of, well, let’s just call it, voluptuous proportions. I eat and am not ashamed of it. I am basically happy with myself and I love sweets.

I got a cook book from my mom called The Great Big Cookie Book. It contains over 200 recipes for the most delicious treats. From Almond Fingers to Yogurt Honey muffins, this book has sweet and savory recipes to tempt the most resistant among us. There are healthy recipes as well as the not so healthy ones.

The publisher is Hermes House, but you would have better luck trying to find this particular cookbook at Amazon or other booksellers.
