 My Mom used to make frosted sugar cookies as a little girl and LOVES them. She tells the story how one time they misplaced a tin of frosted Christmas cookies and found them around Easter time... She said they were even more delicious--like finding 'gold'! I hoped these cookies would bless my Mom and maybe jog some of those happy memories of her childhood. I Love You, Mom! I tried a new (to me) recipe that I thought was similar to cookies we made together when I was little. Click here for recipe. Sooooo goood!  My Mom, Mary Anne Jakubowski (2012)  These quotes all touch my heart and perfectly express my thoughts of my Mom. How about you? "Life began with waking up and loving my mother's face." George Eliot • "The love of a mother is the veil of a softer light between the heart and the heavenly Father." Samuel Taylor Coleridge • "It may be possible to gild pure gold, but who can make his mother more beautiful?" Mahatma Gandhi  A prayer for my friends who's mothers have preceded them in death: May the God of all comfort surround you with arms of love, as surely as your mother's arms cradled you. Blessed hope that you will be re-united with her for all eternity. In Jesus' name, Amen. p.s. I'm sure she's more anxious to see you than you are her!

Allie Taylor’s “Through Her Looking Glass” |
 | I found this recipe on Allie Taylor's awesome blog, "Through Her Looking Glass" Check it out! These are super-easy to make and super-delicious! I actually used blueberry jam instead of raspberry... very similar to another recipe from Allie-- Pecan Crumble Blueberry Shortbread. YUM! |
Homemade Bread Bowls!
I love getting the soup-in-a-bread-bowl when we go to Panera, and on Soup-er Bowl Sunday, decided to make soup with HOMEMADE BREAD BOWLS. This recipe is so easy! And you don't have to have a stand mixer-- I just stirred it by hand... All you need is a little waiting time while the dough rises. Note: I used bread flour instead of all-purpose the first few times, then tried it with 1/2 whole wheat flour and 1/2 bread flour, both delicious! This is the recipe I followed. The dough also makes great rolls, 8-12 depending on the size you want. To go with the bread, I made Cheesy Southwestern Chicken Tortilla Soup, a new favorite-- although we used ground beef and water instead of chicken and chicken broth. Try it--you'll like it! :)
Valentine treats for my tweet-E!
I received some donut and donut hole pans from one of my beautiful sister-in-laws for Christmas, and
have been wanting to try them out! I found these recipes online and oooooooh, what a treat they are!
I found this super-easy Cake Mix Donuts recipe HERE, and the Best Chocolate Frosting recipe HERE.
(My husband's a big fan of peanut butter-cups, so instead of 1 Cup butter, I used 1/2 cup butter and
1/2 cup peanut butter. It's our new favorite frosting-- Wish I'd tried this sooner!)

Happy National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day!
I didn't know there was such a day, until this morning when I received this recipe in my inbox:
Giant Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake (Wowza!)
Chocolate chip cookies are one of my favorites, and I made a batch of these (below) last week:
Chocolate Chip Tea Cookies
I love this recipe because it's uber-simple (six ingredients --no eggs), delicious, fast and easy,
especially if you have a small cookie scoop. And they freeze well! Try it!

We recently attended a friend's picnic with a crowd, so it was a great opportunity for me to try out some new recipes!
These were a little time intensive, but well worth it!
