We have a de-LICIOUS roll recipe coming right up, submitted by a regular and loved blog reader, Paula. But first, we just wanted to share with you some of our oldest daughter, {A}’s, creative cookies she made last week. (She is an ambitious baker in the making, if you don’t know.)
{A} has a very strong interest in the Kennedy Family, and has as of late, been studying their family history in great depth. That’s not to say she is a fan of all of them. ; ) But, she does like who Robert F. Kennedy was. So much so, that she made sugar cookies for his birthday on Friday, November 20th. She thought it was a great excuse to practice her piping skills.
There were many duplicates of these cookies above, so this is just a sample of each design. She even had more detailed pre-sketches on paper, but realized they would be really hard to pipe. I think they came out really cute though. I also think it’s cute that she made these. lol
On a side note, I just wanted to mention that we’ll be doing a little renovation on the Home Page (just a little one). So if you notice things are out of sorts at any point, that’s why. : )
And that, I believe, was my shortest post, ever. I deserve a cookie, don’t you think?

The cookies look great. Has she seen or read “In the Kennedy Kitchen”? Wonderful cookbook featuring many of the families favorite recipes. Yummy!

{A} you impress me every time I read about you. I have no doubt in my mind that you will grow up living a life just as important, or more so even, than RFK who was a truly great man.
Different era, but there’s a book called The Founding Fathers Reconsidered by R.B. Bernstein that really focuses on Thomas Jefferson more than the others. And although he was much younger than his wise colleagues, he did so much more to shape what America would become. It’s a very interesting read that you may like to pick through at some point.

Teri – Your comment made {A} BEAM! She is all about getting her hands on that book you suggested now!
