Grouper en Papillote

Grouper is one of my favorite fish, most likely because I grew up eating fried grouper sandwiches as they are kind of the staple meal of coastal-Florida living.

Snickerdoodles

Snickerdoodles

Well, today I’m able to check a quintessential cookie recipe off of my “never made” list- the snickerdoodle. I
