Here's how they turned out!

You will love this recipe! Easy, fast and 

delicious! I rolled dough into walnut

size balls. Flattened slightly with the 

bottom of a glass, baked and then

frosted with cream cheese frosting (to

which I added a little bit of almond

and vanilla flavoring and green food

coloring.  Yummy!!   

St. Patrick's Day means "Green" food at our house

We actually had our Traditional Irish Feast last Thursday. However - I am making 

some "green" shortbread cookies for our treat tomorrow. (links to both recipes).

Martha Stewart's Corned Beef & Cabbage

(This was easy to make - looked just like the picture -

and was absolutely delicious! Oh yeah, and it was

in the "slow cooker"!) 

Here's the "green" shortbread cookies I'm making:

recipe here

I know - they aren't green! I'm going to add green food coloring. I will

also modify the recipe (from "eat sum more" shortbread cookies - thank you

for sharing) by  adding a little almond flavoring. Note - they key to really great

shortbread cookies is the powdered sugar in the dough! I will also do

a light swirl of green cream cheese frosting  on top! Enjoy!

Here's a cute Irish Blessing

May your cottage be well thatched

And may those inside be well matched!

Shalom!

St. Patty's Day!

Happy St. Patty's Day and all O' that Blarney!

Oh well - here's my Irish entryway decor! 

Hope you like it.

Mine was my first attempt. It was hard

to get them really green.

Next one will be better. Plus it got really

mashed in my suitcase (mom and I did them).

It looks sorta ok from far away!

Bless ye!
