June has almost come and gone and I noticed I hadn't posted even one recipe this month! It's been busy around here—anniversary celebrations, family graduations, a cooking class, writing projects, working on family history, gardening, fun with friends . . . the list goes on. i did make these cookies—a basic recipe I mixed up for Neighbor to Neighbor earlier this month as a late night venture.
