Russian Tea Cakes a.k.a Mexican Wedding Cookies!
This year I had the opportunity to do a little cookie baking with my sisters who are usually away at college. It was great! I love spending time with them and spending time in the kitchen is a bonus! When I was a kid my grandmother used to make Mexican Wedding Cookies every year at Christmas. Since she passed away there haven’t been any made. This year we found her old cookbooks and what we think was her “secret” recipe! We took a leap of faith and used the old, crumpled, well used recipe. It worked! The cookies only have THREE INGREDIENTS and are SUPER tasty and easy to make!…

Pumpkin Pie Popsicles! 2 WW PP each!
Pumpkin Pie Popsicles! I was walking around my favorite store: IKEA. I came across these cute popsicle molds (below). I have never made home-made popsicle so when I got home I decided to see what I could mix together to make some with. I found pumpkin and a few other ingredients. With the weather getting cooler I thought this MIGHT be a good idea! I mixed the ingredients and cooked them. Before I could pour it into molds the kids were already in the kitchen wondering what smelled so good and wanted to try it. Turns out even the unfrozen juice is delicious and taste like autumn! I figure making…
