Here’s a short post on a fun Thanksgiving treat for your family get-together next week, because who could turn down cookies, even if there is pie? I put a little twist on the Gratitude Wreath Cookie I made last year with my kids, and created this Gratitude Tree platter. It’s sort of like a family tree…the family shares their […]
I enjoyed posting some of my favorite cookie creations of 2013 on Facebook today, so I thought I would share them here on the blog as well. Time moves so quickly… I had forgotten about some and others seem to have been made so long ago. It was fun to revisit all the work that […]
Just a quick, last minute Thanksgiving idea for you! I caught a glimpse of this pin by Family Fun Magazine the other day and I knew I had to cookie it immediately. It is perfect for a family gathering, easy to execute, and a super way to get the kids thinking about what is important […]
Thanksgiving really is my favorite holiday. What’s not perfect about a day filled with gratitude and food? I love how the whole day comes together in my little world: Macy’s parade, turkey trot, bonfire with the cousins and pink tea. This leads to pots on the stove, a brining turkey, and Grandma T’s autumn leaf […]
Here’s a quick post of cookies I made last year, before I entered the world of blogging and watermarks. Some are fall-ish, some are for turkey day, but all are meant to get you in the Thanksgiving mindset, and maybe give you a little inspiration to create some goodies of your own! In case you […]
A little over a week ago, my dear Nana passed away. She was almost 95 years old and although we knew it was coming, it still didn’t make it any easier to hear the news that day. I wrote about her and my grandfather in a blog post when we celebrated their 73rd wedding anniversary this […]
Did you ever hear a story that touched you, even if it was about someone you had never met? And you wanted to do something to support them, in some small way, because their story tugged at your heart strings and wouldn’t let go? Well I have. And that story is about a boy named […]
Now that my computer is up and running again (HOORAY!), I was able to retrieve a few more patriotic cookie pictures to share for the upcoming weekend. It’s easy to get into the red, white and blue scheme this time of year, and I didn’t want to make a typical flag or star cookie, so […]
Making cookies for a cause is one of the joys of being a baker. I can loan out my talents to help others bring awareness, raise money, or simply be supportive to a plight. Even if it’s someone I have never met. I was contacted not too long ago from a woman who had recently […]
I recently took part in a cookie project called Operaton Cookie Takeover. The group was looking to send donated cookies to the U.S. troops in Afghanistan and their goal was to collect 1,200 of them to distribute to a base there. Once they had a facebook page started, it made the rounds to Cookiers near and […]
