Taking time away from unpacking boxes for a small package of cookies (no photos of the cookies, uhmmm…just this). The recipes are sooo good, though – thought I would share.
I used this recipe for the sunflower seed butter and jelly cookies. If you clicked on the link, you’ll notice that it is *peanut butter* and jelly. I just mixed it up a little bit. Also, use any kind of preserves you like. I had strawberry-guava on-hand and that’s what I used. Yum.
The lemon ricotta cookies recipe is right here. I didn’t make the glaze, though. So sad, I know. The glaze would have been excellent, but I decided against it. Two reasons: the hot weather and via USPS. Yikes. The glaze would look a little funky, right?
Glaze=no. Cookies=yes.

Now…back to work!
Lala’s is the best place for a date night and good old-fashioned ice cream in Petaluma. I chose the Amaretto Toffee and my husband, Meyer Lemon. Both were good, but if I had to do it over again – definitely, the meyer lemon. Yum!

A little peek inside…a very small detail, but notice the hooks underneath the counter by the barstools. They thought of everything!
Lemon blueberry pancakes….yum! They have a very cake-like texture and the lemon and blueberry flavors are delicious together. Top them with a little bit of powdered sugar. Pancake action. You can find the recipe here. If you don’t feel like making them from scratch, here’s a shortcut: order them at your nearest IHOP location. *grin*
My husband and I took a trip to Redding at the beginning of the New Year and made a few stops by the local thrift stores. I found two French language books used by an university from the 1930s. Some of the cover art and illustrations are simple, but amazing. Take a look:
