Browned Butter Bites

Hi there, stranger!  I've missed you!  Can you forgive me for taking a little hiatus?  You see, Scott and I have been busy lately.  We packed up our apartment and moved across town to our first house.  It has a yard, a basement, and most importantly, a very swanky-looking oven.  Can you fall in love at first sight with an oven?  Apparently so.

Almond Apricot Bars

These cookies are tart and tangy, and to put it simply, I love them.  The apricot filling is nice and thick, and the crust gives just the right amount of resistance when you bite into it.  I was pretty excited when I first got the cookbook I adapted this recipe from at a used book store outside of Albany.

Blanched Almonds

Blanched almonds are so easy to make, you'll wonder why you spend time searching the grocery store aisles looking for them!  They are useful in Almond Apricot Bars, among other things.  I always make more than the recipe calls for to snack on.  Watch these carefully towards the end of toasting them to ensure that you don't burn them.
