Thin Mint Puppy Chow
The Story: I was a girl scout. I did the campfires, the badges, the pledges, you name it. But I did not look nearly as cute in my little Brownie vest as my neighbor Francesca or Laura up the street. They both had the sleek hair with matching bows perfectly placed on top. And me?…

Andes Mint Cupcakes
New photo from my cookbook “Your Cup of Cake” I was introduced to Andes Mints at a very young age. Though, my strongest memory was not of eating them, it was of being attacked by them. My family commonly went to a little Mexican restaurant in town, and when we finished eating we would…
