  • "The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity." - Margaret Nadauld

cookie time.

Zach's been singing "C Is for Cookie" a lot lately... which is highly appropriate now that the Christmas season is upon us. I've decided to make various kinds spread out throughout the month, rather than having a huge stack of all of them the last week in December. So we started with wreath cookies this week. These are similar to Rice Krispy treats, but much better and more fun.

Wreathcookies

Christmas Wreath Cookies

30-34 large marshmallows

1 stick butter

1 tsp. vanilla

2 tsp. green food coloring

4 1/2 cups cornflakes

red hots

1. Melt marshmallows and butter in large heavy saucepan till well blended. Add vanilla and food coloring.

2. Remove from heat and add cornflakes. Drop spoonfuls onto waxed paper. Butter your fingers, and shape into wreaths or trees. Add red hots to look like berries.

Sit back and enjoy one or two or six of these with a mug of the best hot chocolate ever.
