Josh’s Double Chocolate Biscotti
bis·cot·ti
Definition of BISCOTTO: a crisp cookie or biscuit of Italian origin that is flavored usually with anise and filberts or almonds —usually used in plural
A good friend of ours baked our family these biscottis, and we enjoyed them so much, we asked him for the recipe. (So we could have some more!). He very kindly sent the recipe to us, and he also suggested it as a Vittles post. We thought it was a great idea! It’s just not

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.… (READ MORE......) | 3 Comments

Hi blog friends! This is {A} this time. Mama said she has noticed we haven’t blogged any recipes of ‘real food’ in awhile, and it’s looking like we’ve been on a ‘sweets kick’ lately, so she said to let you know we’ll have some meal-related type recipes coming up soon. She just needs to think of some. But today, I wanted to share this cookie recipe I came up with on my own. Everyone in my family loved them when I made them, so I hope if you make them, you do too.

Just another short post, with lots of photos, from our blessed Easter Sunday……
The kids woke up to these surprises on Easter morning. They were thrilled!
The kids, looking all dapper, just before heading out to a beautiful Easter morning mass. {A} altar served, as usual. Then our friend from our church, Dr. Ann, had a gift bag for each of the kids after mass! She is so thoughtful! Didn’t take photos of that, but I should have, darn it.
When we got home, we had… (READ MORE......) | 6 Comments

Have you ever seen cookies like these? They are called Italian Cookies, and maybe they are ordinary to you. But the very thought or sight of them, has always made my heart simply swell.
My Godmother has made these cookies for me, all of my life. I think she makes them a lot. She may even be known for them in the lives of many people who are in her life. But it doesn’t matter. Whenever she made them for ME, it always felt like such a gift of her love for me.

Heffalump Rumpledoodles. These things are quite possibly the tastiest little crumpets on the face of the earth!
We first heard of Rumpledoodles when the little one’s Auntie L gave them this charming Winnie the Pooh DVD movie titled Pooh’s Heffalump Movie, for their 3rd birthday. In the movie, the Hundred Acre Wood gang decide to go out and hunt the much feared, and never-seen Heffalumps they have been hearing out in the woods. Roo went off on his own hunt, and has a run-in with a baby Heffalump, when he is suddenly ‘tagged you’re it!’. The adorable little Heffalump, named “Lumpy”, and Little Roo (READ MORE......) | 1 Comment
