I’ve been obsessed with these gingersnap cookies lately. A co-worker had gotten some from a relative and offered me one. I declined at first- because I don’t like gingersnap cookies… OR DO I?! I do! These aren’t hard/crunchy box-tasting cookies like I had expected… these are chewy-soft spicy goodness. I was so surprised at how … Continue reading »
Because the Christmas tree & decorations were being stored in the guest bedroom and I have two guests coming to stay from out of town this week, I decided it was time to get a jump start on decorating for the holiday.
