Peanut Butter Cookies are my dad’s favorite. The smell of freshly baked cookies can call him from miles away. He seems to know just the right time to show up whenever I bake Peanut Butter Cookies. Continue reading “Peanut Butter Cookies”
On a recent trip to the Spice and Tea Exchange, I had my daughter pick a new spice to add to our collection. She picked Lemon Verbena. Lemon Verbena has a smell reminiscent of tea with a lemony note.
When we got home we decided to add them to a traditional shortbread recipe to create Lemon Verbena Shortbread Cookies. I wanted to share this recipe with you. Continue reading “Lemon Verbena Shortbread Cookies”
Did you know that today is National Pfeffernuesse Day? I love crazy food holidays. It is the perfect excuse to pull out an old recipe and make something different.
If you have never made pfeffernuesse, check out this blog post and recipe.
Merry Christmas! (or should I say Frohe Weihnachten!)
I want to take a moment to thank each and everyone of you. When I began blogging, I was unsure where this adventure would go. I did not tell anyone I blogged, for I was uncertain and afraid – what would I write about; would anyone want to read what I wrote; how long would this interest last (a few months?).
Yet here I am almost two years later, and I now have 100 followers. Compared to some big name blogs this is pretty crummy, but it makes my heart swell. I have intentionally not told any of my friends that I blog, and most of my extended family is still in the dark. So each of you is a complete stranger to me. Yet, you encourage me to keep writing.
Lately, I have been sharing a lot of my knitting projects; if you stopped by to see them there are more coming. But I feel I have neglected my other interests. I have several posts planned, but am struggling to find the time to sit and write. I dream of days when I will be able to do that.
If this is your first time stopping by or you follow me, thank you for encouraging me to continue to share the projects that I am working on. If you have just stumbled upon this page, you may want to check out some of my top posts.
