About
Simply put, my purpose at Smart Cookie is this: to share my love of food with everyone.
Food is one of life’s greatest pleasures. It has the power to warm you with comfort, fill you with happiness, kiss you with bittersweet nostalgia, and (probably more importantly) sustain life. That’s powerful. For me, food is my little joy in life, and I want to share my admiration for all things edible with you. Yes you. Whether you’re an obsessive foodie like myself, a parent cooking for the family, a kid who loves to eat, a baker, a man with a grill, an amateur chef, or a professional one, I am writing for you. I have some seriously tasty recipes, the kind of food that makes you say, “This is good.” I have little tips that I can’t wait for you to utilize too. I’ve checked out food products that I think you’ve just g
ot to know about (and some that I think you should avoid at all costs). The Smart Cookie Cook is a site open to anyone and everyone, a judgement-free zone. Recipes will be presented in a vegetarian & carnivore-friendly manner. Meat or no meat? Morals are subjective & the choice is up to you. Eat what you please. Food is my passion and I intend to pass it on to you. Thanks for stopping by. Questions & comments are always welcome.
Life is delicious, so eat up.
Thank you
to my family, who has been nothing but supportive of The Smart Cookie and all of my culinary adventures. You have always been willing to play the role of taste-testers and #1 fans.
A special thank you to my loving grandparents for always, always believing in me & “sponsoring” my site.
Hi, I love your blog and I nominated you for both the Versatile blogger and Inspiring Blogger awards!
There’s some more info about it on my blog at http://tashainthekitchen.wordpress.com/2012/03/25/versatile-blogger-and-inspiring-blogger-award/
Hello Colleen,
Lovely blog. It is very impressive. Hope to see you on T.V. someday.
you are simply adorable. so pretty and skinny too! how do you do it with all those yummy treats you are cooking up?
Aw, thank you so much! For me, it’s all about balance. All the indulgent stuff you see on my site I only eat about twice a week. The rest of the week I eat healthy. And I run every morning.
Say, could I e-mail a recipe to you? It’s an old recipe of my mom’s for apple cookies. I’d love for you to try it out and see what you think.
Sure, sounds delicious! I’ve been meaning to add a contact page, but for now, you can email me at thesmartcookiecook@yahoo.com.
