Sunday Scripture…

 
Psalm 34:18-19
This is for all of us missing someone this holiday season.

Chocolate No-Bake Cookies...


I've been in the kitchen again, making holiday treats for family and friends. Today's creation is a better version of the Chocolate No-Bake Cookies we used to eat as children. I think the difference is one main ingredient - evaporated milk. These are really delicious, so I thought you might like the recipe I used.

Chocolate No-Bake Cookies
Yield: 3 dozen

    Ingredients:
                                                                   2 c. granulated sugar                                                                
    1/2 c. butter (1 stick)
    1 t. vanilla
    1/2 c. evaporated milk (not sweetened condensed)
    3 T. cocoa (I use Droste cocoa. It's delicious.)

Put all of the above ingredients in a pot and stir together.
Bring to a boil and keep boiling for 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in 3 c. quick oats.

Drop by spoonfuls onto parchment or wax paper and allow to cool.
That's it. Enjoy!

Friday Already?...


Because of my surgical and healing schedule this fall, I deferred my show participation into 2023. However, I was contacted to see if I'd be interested in participating in the Winter Quilt Show to be held in West Bend in February, and I jumped at the chance. This will be my first time at this show, and I'm told it has quite a large audience.

I'll be a busy, little beaver in January creating stock for my booth, as I build up my cork handbag, tote, wallet, and other accessories, as well as having more embroidered items, too. You'll be able to find me in Booth #304 with all my wares, so if you're going to be in the area, please mark your calendars.


I'm back to embroidering designs to turn into ornaments during the day, and I'll start Grammie's Jammies very soon. This elf will be busy over the next week or two, turning out stitched items and baked goods. 'Tis the season, after all!
