Closet Cooking

Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

    My grandmother was born in Canada, and though she wasn't an especially dedicated or talented cook, she made Nanaimo Bars. When I was a kid we simply never saw them in the US. They're still fairly unusual, but they're just about the most delicious thing ever invented. Why they've never caught on in the US is a real mystery to me.

    Oh my goodness! I don't know from where to start. These cookies are bombs <3 I guess I will start from these ones with pistachios. We are huge pistachio lovers at home 🙂
