Good morning, good seekers and finders and cooks of all things delicious.

Signal Mountain Grandfather is hungry for homemade Heath bar cookies. His attempts to replicate his favorite versions just haven’t hit the spot, so he has called on you for help.

Marguerite McCammon has a garlic dilemma: “I do not like to peel and mince garlic. Too messy. But we love the taste and the health properties of garlic.
