Susanality’s Greatest (Cookie) Hits

Plus, a few meditations on gratitude after my house fire
If you happened to be following my Instagram stories, you might know that this week was a little (okay, a lot) different from the usual for me. As I write this newsletter on Tuesday afternoon, it’s been almost a full week since I experienced a fire in my home. Here’s what happened.

As we approach a new year it’s natural to think about fresh starts —and breakfast gives us a chance to do that each and every day. It is the meal that can set the tone for the rest of the day, and it provides the energy we need to thrive all morning.

What you loved most this year
Hi, friends. It’s my last newsletter of 2024! I’m not going to wax poetic about how the year is just about over and wow I can’t believe that it is (although, truly, I can’t), but I am going to say this: it was one for the books. A lot of good things happened, not the least of which was watching this community grow.

and a perfect caprese salad
Someone once described Substack as the internet's secret coffee shop, and I couldn’t agree more. It’s a space with great vibes and a sense of calm—free from the chaos of algorithms pushing unwanted content our way. Instead, it’s a quiet, ad-free refuge where you can connect with someone’s thoughts through their words. I love it here. It takes me back to…

Cookie Baking Ideas

And introducing...
Normally at this time I would have counters deep in gingerbread cookies, caramel crumb squares and jam-filed suvaroffs. Maybe by next week, but this week, I have been burning the midnight cooking oil, finishing up edits on go-round #2 on my cookbook manuscript. I had a screech-owl of a late night/early morning yesterday as I prepared to send it back to …

Crate train from the day you get her/him. Start potty training with treats immediately and be consistent with both. Lots and lots of praise. Harness or good collar. Lots of age appropriate chews - we use benebone. No toys with stuffing so he won’t eat them as the stuffing is not digestible.

He’s precious! My two best pieces of advice for pups are “nothing in life is free” and get them used to brushing their teeth early. Use dog toothpaste and a gauze wrapped finger then graduate to a soft bristle kids toothbrush. Don’t bother with the hard plastic finger thimbles. Brush their teeth every day and you’ll have a healthy dog with great gums and a vet who will sing your praises. Other than that love him up. (Dogs are better than cookies!)

What were your dinner staples this year?
You’ve made it. We are here at the end of whatever this year was, and this week feels like a brief respite from looking ahead. I hope you have some quiet time with a good book, or some quiet time in the kitchen, or some rowdy time with good friends, or whatever you need right now.

Put Zoe Barrie Soderstrom’s Easy Dumpling Noodles on my meal plan this week inspired by this post! It feels similar but different enough from my own riff on beef and broccoli with noodles that was definitely the meal I cooked most in 2025.

I really am just so glad you launched this newsletter. I love it so much. Thank you for putting it together and keeping it going. I know it’s so much work. It brings me a lot of joy. All those recipes sound amazing!! I also have gotten into sweet potato starch this year because of Kristina Cho - I am excited to use it for more things because her salt and pepper tofu recipe is insanely good.
Happy new year to you and fam ❤️❤️

I tried to find a way to direct message rather than post a public comment, but that may not be a feature available to an unpaid subscriber.
While I am so grateful for all the work that you and WCK do in the world, it seems insensitive to make recipes only available through the "claim my free recipe" button.
Why make it harder for people who, for whatever reason, are not paid subscribers? This may benefit your revenue streams in the short term, but the long-term effect is a put off for the people who come to your site to be involved, educated, and appreciated.
And, just for good measure, I'll say that my fellow elderly readers may not be as tech abled as e, and would get lost in the maze.
Lighten up. Open up recipes without click throughs.
Thanks for all you do.

A Time Traveling Cookie

Starring black cocoa and white chocolate, and a nod to my baking roots!
In September of 2009, I had just turned sixteen (sheesh). I remember being so excited to finally be old enough to apply to jobs, and I jumped right into the job search the moment I could. My small town of Wilmington, North Carolina consisted mostly of fast food joints, two Walmarts, and some small businesses near the beaches bordering it. This meant mos…

A Few Holiday Recipes
Winter is no longer coming—it has arrived. The solstice came and went, and tomorrow is Christmas.

Why do humans celebrate big events with sweets? Their scarcity in the past no doubt elevated them to this special status, and Christmas time is one of the biggest events of the year. Holiday sweets are ladened with spices and nuts and honey, all items that were at the tippy tippy top of ye olde food pyramid in days of yore. At least this is how I currently view them, and justify their inclusion in our diet = special sweets for special times. Life is, after all, too short not to enjoy delicious things. Wishing you and yours a lovely holiday season from across the water on Lopez - happy new year too!

Those look delicious. I have revamped recipes to use maple sugar as cane sugar doesn't agree with me and I rarely eat it. My favorite Christmas food was always the home made fudge that would be included on Christmas treat plates neighbors would bring us.
This is traditional maple fudge. I don't add vanilla to either recipe as I don't want to compete with the maple flavor. Be aware that candy temperatures change with altitude and google the conversion as even at my 2,000 feet above sea level I am affected. My first disaster was when I lived at 5,000 feet and did not know to convert the temperature.
As search engines are not what they used to be, it took me about an hour to finally find a maple chocolate fudge recipe made the old way and without any cane sugar in it. I last searched for this and made it a couple years ago and it is delicious beyond imagination. As it is expensive to make, one cannot overdo. This time I will print it out to save.
