Cookies

I lost my 3/4 measuring cup along with my mind. I frantically tore the kitchen apart searching for it. The measuring cup, that is.

Drum roll please.... Diane! You are the proud new owner of a generous stack of Cute as a Button Sugar Cookies! I guess I'm sending them to Mexico. I don't think my cookies have ever been on such a long journey before. I hope you like them! And for the rest of you that were...

The giving and receiving of tasty treats has always been one of my favourite things. This Valentine's Day I baked my honey something yummy. Chocolate hazelnut yummy to be...

Yesterday was my birthday. I've had a few birthdays and they've all been pretty great. No complaints here. Well there was that one birthday when a few of my friends left the party early.
