Butter Battle 2010 The Boy is 2 and 0 going up against the Kitchen Aid in the Butter Battle. For Week Two of the Harvest Unit our weekly activity was making fresh, homemade butter. We like to turn it into a contest… boy verses machine. Well the girls actually started the butter battle but just …
I was very excited to see this kefil recipe. It is unlike any cookie I’ve ever made. How cool is that? Chiska shared this recipe and gave us a lovely little story about how it came to her family. I can’t wait to give this a try. Thank you so much, Chiska, for this lovely contribution! I wasn’t sure …
To add to our Christmas cookie collection, today we have a Chai Tea Cookies Recipe to share. Michelle and I are getting ready for our Holiday break. We have family coming in from out of town, and we have lots of cooking and playing to do. Before we take our leave from Wee Folk Art …
Today the kids are helping us bake our Peanut Butter Kiss Cookie Recipe. Around here, children are in the kitchen almost as much as the adults. The minute the grandbabies hear me putzing in my kitchen or every night when Michelle starts dinner, we know it’s only moments before we hear, “Can I help?” And the answer is always the say, …
Don’t these look good enough to eat? PLUS, what wonderful, Holiday colors! Molly, from Molly’s Cottage, is sharing her favorite Christmas cookie, the Cranberry Nut Swirls Cookie Recipe, with us. If they taste half as good as they look, I’m sure they’ll become of favorite of ours, too. Thank you, Molly, and make sure everyone pays …
Below is a recipe for Oatmeal Cran-Orange Cookies that Megan sent in from Ducks In A Row. It sounds “yumilicous”!

Thanks, Megan, for sharing your recipe. Make sure you stop …

As part of our Christmas cookie series, today we are sharing one of our family’s traditional cookies. Here is our Surprise Cookie Recipe. My Bushia was a marvelous cook…of basic foods. And, hey, let’s face it, we consume mostly basic foods, right? As a mother of 13 children there wasn’t much time for fluff, but …
I love shortbread with my afternoon coffee. It isn’t too sweet and melts in your mouth. This is the first Christmas cookie we have made this season. Although it is early, the Scottish Shortbread recipe freezes well and will keep until we have guests around. I have never actually made this cookie before, so this …
Today we are sharing our family’s favorite Butterscotch Gingerbread Cookie Recipe. Although it is pictured here as ghosts, it makes a wonderful traditional Gingerbread man cookie at Christmas.

Umm… baking day! This is quickly becoming our favorite day around here. It is laid back and quiet. Everyone has some time to do their own thing in the morning (I can actually get some laundry done) with me calling the troops into the kitchen every so often to help. Yummy smells and yummy treats. …
