One thing you will quickly learn with my blog posts and recipe choices is that I am not much of a baker.  My friends and family can attest to that!  Today I had my first cooking guest, Granny Pati, my mother-in-law.  She is a baker supreme, among other things.  Tonight’s baking adventure was a team event though.  Ben even chipped in as well.   We made:

  • Sprinkle cookies
  • Peppermint Melt-Aways
  • Peanut Butter Cookies topped with a Hershey’s Kiss
  • Jam Thumbprints

The only advice I have with this post is bring over your mother or find a mother-in-law who can bake!
