C is for cookie, that's good enough for me -- and in this case good enough for me is these three classic cookie recipes to brighten up your holidays.

If you thought the start of the Diablo Immortal technical alpha was going to be the biggest news on Thursday, think again.

On Saturday, December 19, those brave souls who venture to the Blizzard Watch Twitch channel at 2:30 PM Central will witness the culmination of 16 episodes of our D&D play stream, as the party of ragtag adventurers who have gone from being trapped in a volcano lair to escaping to another dimension to returning home to find out their lives were stolen by imposters now head back to that volcano lair to destroy two horrible artifacts of a dread alien god in the unquenchable flames of another god's summer vacation home.

Last weekend, we went back to our long running D&D campaign and almost immediately found ourselves role playing a bunch, as our Dwarf Cleric Mediel and her undead Warlock cousin Malachi talked it out about how stodgy and confining Dwarven culture is, and our Tiefling Rogue Mischief found out she has three moms -- sort of -- and our Gnome Wizard Wilyur Rustspark has come to a resolution on his evil doppleganger, and our Elf Fighter Zellan really hates pirates.

Tasha's Cauldron of Everything arrived this week and like the title promises it brings a whole new book of "everything" to the D&D player.

Today, we have three tasty, easy treats to munch on -- savory mac and cheese bites, keto-friendly roasted cauliflower, and the highly addictive Tim Tam bars.
