Each year in my Easter basket, my parents would put in these delicious peanut butter Easter eggs. There were only a few, and I desperately tried to make them last, but I always ate them first because they were my favorite. (Yeah, saving the best for last is over-rated.) I even…
I am sorry for the long absence. My family took a long weekend trip to Walla Walla to visit some friends. And it always seems to take a few days to recover and get back in the swing of things. We had a relaxing time–and when I say relaxing, I…
Valentine’s Day used to be my least favorite holiday. I used to feel, way back when, that it was another excuse for the candy, card, and entertainment industry to suck money out of you, but deep down, it was most likely that I didn’t like Valentine’s Day because I didn’t have…

I have a problem. Maybe you have the same problem too. When I bake sugar cookies, to decorate them, I bake too many. And most of the time I don’t feel like decorating 30+ cookies. (Not only does my hand cramp at that point, but it takes up most of my afternoon.) Usually,…
