Old Fashioned Coconut Icebox Cookies
If you’re a fan of Dexter, you immediately thought about the Icebox Killer when you read the title of this recipe. Luckily for us all, no brightly colored, manicured nails or unassuming serial killers made their way into this recipe. Nope- just good old-fashioned yumminess. Oh, and gobs and oodles of coconut. It’s like a coconutty extravaganza y’all! Like lemons, I love coconuts. I think my top three dessert choices always have either lemon, coconut or a berry, such as raspberries or strawberries. When I saw this recipe, I knew I had to try it. I made a few changes, changed out some of the not-so-good ingredients (like vegetable shortening) for butter, and replaced…

My First (recipe) Mistake (aka 7-Layer Bars)
Well Food Posse Peeps, I finally did it- I made my first mistake this evening while putting together a pan of 7-Layer Bars to share with y’all. The good news, they taste perfectly fine. The bad news- they’re not very stable, don’t hold their shape, are very gooey AND (whispers) they’re ugly.
