Just In the Nick of Time

Delivering pound cakes to teachers today. They are wrapped in plastic wrap for safety then in Dollar Store cup towels and tied up with a bell. Aren't they cute?

Hope you all have a glorious weekend. We have company coming. :)

Happy Thursday

Good Morning! What does your day hold today? For me it's cleaning, baking, wrapping, lunch with a friend, grocery shopping, and probably more cooking. Wow! I will be loving every minute of it!

I have to share this...you know that universal dream where you have to be some place but no matter how hard you try you can't get there? I had that feeling yesterday. Actually mine was about cooking and gifting...I made pound cakes for my son's teachers...they stuck to the pan and fell apart. Made candy for teachers...it didn't set up. So I'm at it again today with new loaf pans! Yes I threw the others away! Wish me luck. :)

PS. Pound cake crumbs taste wonderful and are calorie free. I'm sure of it!

Friends, please go by and visit Melanie at Bella Mella. Her son Andrew passed away after his short battle with cancer. Please leave her family messages and send your prayers.

Doors of Welcome

Good Morning! Today I'm joining in with Karen's Doors of Welcome party. This is the point where I admit that I was taking these pictures just before 6 am therefore...they are sketchy because...it's 19 degrees outside. Never fear the coffee is made and the tree lights are on. :)

Would you like a cookie for breakfast?

It's Cookie Time Y'all!

Watching Paula Deen's Cookie Swap...


While I bake my own sugar cookies. It's a great day!

Snickerdoodle?

Would you like a hot Snickerdoodle, right out of the oven?

I saved some just for you!

This recipe is from Just a Matter of Thyme-Among Friends:

Snickerdoodles

1 cup margarine (I use butter)
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 3/4 cups flour
2 tsp. cream of tartar
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt

3 Tbsp. sugar and 3 tsp. cinnamon, mixed together in a bowl or plate.

Cream together sugar and margarine. Add eggs and belnd well. In a separate bowl, mix flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt together. Add to creamed mixture and mix well. Shape dough in 1" balls and roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Place 2" apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes at 350.
