peppermint :: cooking & photography

























i love peppermint.  loveit, loveit, loveit!  it makes everything better.  and christmas(ie).

here's why you should love peppermint too:
  • it provides relief from migraine headaches
  • it can soothe a nagging cough or scratchy throat
  • it's calming and energizing at the same time!
  • for those who are trying to quit smoking - pop a peppermint - it curbs the cravings
  • it relieves an upset stomach
  • it's super yummy (this could have been my only reason)

  2. nicole - although pretty, the cookies weren't great. really, the only thing that made them better was the candy canes. the original recipe can be found here: http://www.marthastewart.com/recipe/holiday-chocolate-sandwich-cookies?backto=true&backtourl=/photogallery/christmas-cookies-for-chocoholics#slide_16

    the chocolate cookie was just too dry. i think the same idea can be applied to a softer cookie recipe - if you try it out let me know!
