Pumpkin Roll…pure heaven rolled up, sure to put a smile on your face and a song in your tummy!

    Yet another Fabulous recipe from the fam!  Lynsey makes this roll and the kids like it just as is, so I wrote it out just like she did so I could preserve it.  I love watching kids’ eyes roll back as they take in the flavors.  She makes it special for her husband every year, I absolutely love that!  So, wanted to pass along her tradition.

    Family Recipes continued! Butter cookies, better than sugar cookies! Melt in your mouth goodness

      Another Recipe from the family archives!  Here is my sister’s version of my mom’s recipe.  This is a family favorite!!!  My mom used to keep them in the freezer.  I remember sneaking in the laundry room and eating one, hoping not to get caught.  Over the years we’ve all shared stories of how we all did the same thing.  Funny how we have such memories around food.  Today, I’ll just lay it out on a platter….eat the cookies.  Everything in moderation and balance!

      And why not have cookies for breakfast?  There’s eggs and butter in the recipe…those are breakfast foods right?🤪😂🤣

      Enjoy…peace be with you!  🕊
