Because I feel much better, thank you. I still have a headache, but it is feeling like a normal headache, not the horrible kind. So, yesterday we worked on the garden. I wish I had My Peony here to give me advice and show me where I was going wrong. My husband built me one… Continue reading Did You Guys Pray For Me?

Simple Cookies-Simple Pleasures
When I was a little girl and would stay at my grandmothers, I would wake up to see her crunching down a biscotti and a cup of coffee.

Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chocolate Chip Cookies This is a favorite family recipe. In college, a friend used to call these “destroyers” (as in, they destroy your will to resist.) It makes a light, flavorful cookie with a hint of crisp. To Christmas-ify it, you could substitute red and green M&Ms for the chocolate chips. My sisters and I… Continue reading Chocolate Chip Cookies
