Invitation

Happy Advent.  I am excited to have my shortbread story and a family recipe featured today at My First Kitchen.  I would love for you to follow this link for a visit over there.  For the last several weeks, Kendra has been featuring cookie recipes from her readers and the stories behind these cookies.  

It's a contest.  Voting begins next Wednesday and folks can vote once a day for a week.  Of course I would appreciate it if you would vote once or twice or seven times.  I'll send a reminder when the voting begins.

You may have read my story when it was posted this time last year.  Even if you have, however, I would encourage you to stop over at My First Kitchen.  If you are hoping to add a new cookie to your repertoire this Christmas you could peruse the cookie recipes there.  Or check out previous posts and get to know Kendra.  She is a lovely woman with a very readable blog of interest to anyone who likes time spent in the kitchen.   

And her recipes rock.  Here are some of my favorites:

Easy No-Filling Lasagna

Homemade Hamburger Helper

Simple Pasta with Mushrooms and Cream
