Cranberry lemon cookies

 


Favorite. Cookies. Ever. 


INGREDIENTS: 

  • 3 eggs
  • 2 cups of sugar
  • 3/4 cup softened butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla 
  • 2.5 cups flour
  • 12oz fresh cranberries (either frozen or cool from the fridge work well)
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice and more if needed
Recipe:

  1. Preheat oven to 350
  2. With a mixer beat eggs and sugar for 5-7 minutes - should double in size, be thickened, light in color, and form a ribbon when you lift the paddle out of the bowl. DONT SKIP THAT STEP!
  3. Add the butter and vanilla. Beat for 2 more minutes. Stir in the flour till JUST combined. 
  4. With a silicone spatula or spoon, mix in the cranberries and white chocolate chips. 
  5. Using a 2 tablespoon scoop, portion the cookies on a parchment lined baking sheet about 6-8 to a regular sheet (these cookies are large and spread!)
  6. Bake for 18 minutes or a few minutes more. They will have golden brown edges. The tops might look undercooked. 
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes on baking sheet before you transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling. 
  8. Mix the powdered sugar and lemon juice with a whisk. Then drizzle the glaze overtop of cooled cookies. Allow them to fully set before you place in a storage container.

what's important here?

I'm really good at comparing myself to others and then putting myself down and belittling my efforts.  It's really easy for me to get stressed about what others are doing with their kids and then feeling like I need to as well.  So I thought I'd make of list of comparisons as to what is REALLY important to me and what is not. Reading to my children is important;      getting my child to read before Kindergarten is not. Having enough is important;      having more than I know to do with is not. Playing with my children is important;      playing an organized game with many objectives for learning is not. Keeping in touch with people is important;      updating Facebook incessantly is not. Feeding my children is important (preferably healthy food);      feeding them homemade, everything from scratch, ALL THE TIME is not. Sleeping is important;      sleeping 8 hours is...

This dish is so easy. It took a total of less than 1 hour to put together, bake, and cool off so you can eat it. If you use regular pasta - I would bake it for an extra 5 minutes. My mom passed this recipe on to me and I doctored it a bit.  Ingredients: 1 - 16oz box of pasta (I used Chickpea pasta) 3 cups of water 16 oz. Of frozen meatballs (I used meatless) Sprinkle of salt 1 - 24 oz jar of pasta sauce 5 oz. Spinach Parmesan cheese 2 cups of mozzarella  Fresh Basil or parsley for the top of the dish Recipe : Turn oven to 450.  Spray a 13x9 dish.  Place noodles, water, meatballs, salt, pasta sauce, spinach and just a sprinkle of Parmesan into the dish.

Looking for Breath

Image
No one feels safe alone in their mind. There is not an ounce of quiet. The hiding seems like the default coping mechanism and in that the false narratives are drawn. Relationships seem farther away, and you’re not even sure if the reach of your fingertips is worth the strength to muster, because what if rejection is the echo back. Plenty of darkness surrounds like the fog of smoke, effortlessly trying to slowly envelop each part of your mind, body, and spirit into a world of worry. What has happened? You’ve known peace, you’ve known contentment, and you’ve been made new. However, the threat of sinking still surrounds.  Until… You look up. And with a slight breath of Yaaahhh-weeeeh, you are filled with peace. You can’t stop with one breath because it’s like you are bobbing at sea just waiting to be taken under. It needs to be a series of perpetual intentional breaths. In those moments is where we have a choice. We have a choice to succumb to the consequences of drowning. Or...
