Valentine Cookies

Look at the delicious Valentine cookies.  I got to eat a couple and they were delicious.  You don't really need Valentine's Day for an excuse to make these good cookies.  I just finished baking up a few red and yellow Christmas sugar cookie dough cookies and they are very good too.  It is fun to make different kinds of cookies.  I used to have a set of cookie cutters like a deck of cards, Ace, Spade, Diamond and Heart shaped.  They were always fun to make for the kids and everyone else liked them too.  Sometimes you want something different than chocolate chip which is everyone's favorite of course, that and Peanut Butter cookies.

Baking Cookies

It seems like yesterday that our grandchildren were playing in the little kitchen we had set up on the farm. And now, here is our little great grandaughter making cookies in her little kitchen at her Grammy's. Where does the time fly by? It is hard to believe she is on her way to being 3 years old already. Before we can blink she will be in school.

Apples, Oranges and Bananas

Don't you just love going by the cookie jar and getting a couple of good chocolate chip cookies? How about the candy dish full of little candy bars or Hershey kisses. My husband loves York mints but eats only one at night after supper. But the last 6 months we have purchased a great number of Figi apples and bananas and try to have them on hand all the time. That way when we are tempted to nibble on something sweet, we can have half an apple at a time and it is so good for you. And bananas are so good on cereal in the morning. Oranges are good anytime too.
