Watch your Walgreen’s sales flyer. They’ll be on sale real soon for a few bucks a tin!

I stock up on those and the small canned hams ($1.99!) for use in winter soups and potato gratins.

I am so GLAD cold weather is here so I can finally cook like I was meant to cook. (Everything in their season!)

My favorite starts with a basic chocolate chip cookie dough recipe, except in addition to the vanilla, I add almond flavoring, and instead of chocolate chips, I use white chocolate, and pecans.

Another variation -- also add coconut flavoring and a grated coconut.

I usually buy a dozen cans after Christmas when they are really cheap.

Speaking of Walgreen's, they have excellent sales on toiletries after Christmas too. You know, the gift sets. I stock up on colognes then.

A childhood favoite I make every year. A plain old butter cookie — half the dough dyed red — the other half left dough-colored and then twisted together into candy canes with a sprinkle of powder sugar. Can taste ‘em now.
