Send a Cookie to a Friend: Lemon Coconut Almond Shortbread
Treats Coming! That's what I text Claire once I send a package in the mail to her. I've been sending her homemade surprises since she started college. It's a silly old fashioned thing to do, but it's a mom thing, and being a mom who loves to bake, it's the kind of mom thing I do.

Chicken & Dumplings
The key to this recipe is good chicken stock. There are times when I think store bought chicken stock or broth is just fine, but this isn't one of those times, it's worth the time to make the real deal.

Sorry Mom! Galactobouriko a Different Way

Broccoli Nut Soup & Buckwheat Bread
I've been doing a lot of freelance work lately which translates into hours and hours on the computer. And even though I get up every hour on the hour for 10 minutes on the treadmill and some stretching I still feel as janky as the tin man. Time to turn to my anti-inflammatory arsenal. I've written three cookbooks on the subject, so I'm an expert right?
