Candied Pecan Sandies

Because you can never have enough sandies in your lunchbox!  These are a variation of the lemon coconut sandies I shared a few weeks ago.  You're going to love them!

Carrot Cake

I was digging through my recipe box last week looking for something to make when I came across my grandmother's carrot cake recipe.  Several years ago I went to my grandparent's house and went through their recipe boxes and typed up the ones that were most interesting to me.  Before I went, I put together a spreadsheet of all of  the recipes I could think of that I wanted to type up and created a template so that each recipe would look the same.  I came away with about 60 recipes, most of which were not on my original list.  It was a fun weekend - they showed me how to make a few things, and then we relaxed together in the living room, my grandfather in his reclining chair, my grandmother in her spot on the couch, and me sprawled out on the flowered chair near the front door with the recipe boxes on the little wooden bench to my right and my computer perched on my lap.

Triple Citrus Cookies

Hi there!  I've been meaning to write, but I keep getting sucked into other things, like ripping out the vines that keep threatening to consume our fence and trying to find curtains that don't look like they belong in Arsenic and Old Lace.  Yes, things have been very, very exciting lately!

Lemon Coconut Sandies

If you're looking for a lemon cookie that is light and delicate and looks relatively fancy, but is easy to make, then look no further than this recipe.  I whipped up a batch of these for an awesome surprise party I went to a few weeks ago.  In preparation for the party, I scoured my cookbooks looking for the perfect lemon cookie recipe.  In my search, I stumbled across a pecan sandie recipe.  I lingered over the recipe, because I love how cookies rolled in powdered sugar seem to melt away with the first bite.
