Hi! I'm Bee and I love food.

I love to find new restaurants and try new foods that are reasonably priced.

Baking is what I love to do and have had great success when baking from scratch from what little equipment I own =p

This blog is basically to show what tasty foods I have concocted and share these awesome recipes!

The first recipe is from my boyfriend's grandmother's recipe for Ginger Snaps

2/3 cup Oil

1 cup Sugar

1 large Egg

1/4 cup Molasses

2 cups Flour

1/2 tsp Salt

2 tsps Baking Soda

2 tsps Cinnamon

2 tsps Grated or Zested Ginger (basically don't add the ginger fibers)

1 1/2 tsp assorted spices (all spice, nutmeg etc.)

preheat oven to 350 degrees

1. Beat oil, sugar, beaten egg and molasses until creamy

2. In separate bowl mix together the dry ingredients

3. Gradually add flour mixture to the wet ingredients

4. Roll into balls

5. Bake for 15 mins*

*cooking times can vary depending on what type of cookie you want*

I made 4 batches of cookies the first went in for 15 mins and the oven door was opened twice, I actually thought this batch was the best. They were a little crunchy on the outside but still soft in the middle.

The second and third went in for 15 mins without the door opening and Colin thought these were the best: Crunchy and a tiny bit soft in the middle.

My last batch went in for 11 mins and were mostly soft but still a little crunchy.

So it's up to you how long you want them in the oven for, more than 15 mins is not good, they burn =p
