The Chesapeake Bay lies to the west of the Delmarva peninsula. My home turf. Land of the ubiquitous crab cake.

I am an evil genius. OK, I’m no Dr. Horrible, but these freakin’ cookies are sinfully awesome. But wait, there isn’t really anything bad for you in them…as much natural, organic, non-hydrogenated goodness as you can pack into a cookie. These bad boys really pack a punch, or evil death ray blast, whatever you’ve gotContinue reading “Banana nut mocha chocolate chip oatmeal cookies”
