Girl Scout cookie season is in full swing! With things still a little different this year, the Girl Scouts organization has made it easy for you to locate where to find your favorite treats. For those that don’t have a neighborhood girl selling cookies, you can input your zip code on https://www.girlscouts.org to find out where troops will have booths set up and you can even get the cookies shipped directly to your home. A new cookie added to the yummy selection this year is Adventurefuls™ which is brownie inspired and topped with caramel creme and a hint of sea salt.

Foodie Mike Carter and cooking fan Joanie Robinson have joined forces to create Culinary Craft Workshop (CCW). The two love experimenting with new recipes and taking cooking classes but have always found that classes tend to fill up way in advance. The CCW will have courses for individuals, couples, and groups, including kids and teens as well. In addition to cooking classes, workshops that will be offered will also include meal planning, kitchen organization, nutrition and techniques.
The current pandemic has pushed back construction with the county being backlogged but Culinary Craft Workshop has started construction and Mike and Joanie are eager to bring their love of food and cooking to Catonsville.
