Lime Thumbprint Cookies have got to be some of my favorite cookies I’ve baked this year! I made them twice in the past couple weeks, because I wanted to get a couple things right. The first recipe I made, the cookies were fine. They were delicious. I just thought they spread out too much when…
I made a Mediterranean Gift Basket inspired by my Mediterranean Platter. I actually made the basket for a friend. She just had a baby. I remember those days.
