I LIKE Date Filled Cookies.......
These say Christmas to me. My mama only made them during the holidays, so they were special. And my mom sometimes had to make them using only 1 round of dough and 1/2 the filling. We were very poor some years. She would fold them over like this.
I wish I was home, I would share her recipe. But if you want to try one very similar, this link to Taste of Home is close.
I used to bake a lot, but not much anymore. I did make banana bread, Tuesday afternoon using Preppy Kitchen’s recipe.

We've had a fire, most nights:

We have been watching Andor . I think on Hulu, but I don’t operate the remote in this house! 😃
Edit…it’s on Disney+. DS corrected me and Diann and her hubby have watched it there too!❤️
and Tulsa King on Paramount+
and The English on Amazon Prime.
Mr Busy and DS and I put a puzzle together.
We drove to Medford OR to pick up some hardwood for some Christmas gifts and had lunch.
There was snow on the Siskiyou Summit Pass.
We’ve eaten well. We finished off the chili, had some goulash gifted from the neighbors and make Chicken Alfredo. Tonight, home made potato soup! I’m looking forward to that!

Hi Judy, Happy Thursday!!
ReplyDeleteYou three are masters at putting together puzzles, huh?
Thanks for those two yummy receipes.
You made me think about be poor and be rich, because my mother always made cookies in the shape of a half moon... I believe that both your family and mine were very rich in love, and after all, this is what matters most.
And I saved also the December self-care...just in case I need a reminder.
Love your post. Hugs
Great post Judy! Love everything you posted! Have a great visit with your son!
ReplyDeleteA real fire in the fireplace is just the best!
ReplyDeleteWe should all have your picture of the mountain available for a beautiful, relaxing view! It is always comforting to make an old recipe of your mom's - those bring good memories with them. We enjoyed Andor and found it on Disney+, I think. Do Mr. Busy and your son have woodworking to do together while you're there?
ReplyDeleteOoh - your date filled cookies make me think of a recipe I have for sliced date cookie that look like cinnamon buns. I haven't made them in years! I may have to fix that....
ReplyDeleteYou have so many great likes. :-)
Hi Judy! I love date-filled cookies, too. I confess that I've never made them myself - I buy Fig Newtons and call it a day. Ooh, I can just smell them baking, though. I'll bet your mom's version is WAY better than FN's. It sounds like you have been having fun, eating well, and staying warm with a nice fire. Life is good! {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteOh boy! Did I have to laugh at how you don't operate the remote in your house. Me neither! hahaha! Good job on the puzzle. Looks like a fun one to make.
ReplyDeleteThe 60s jigsaw puzzle is quite impressive. I imagine a lot of joyful memories popping up as you and your mister were working on it. How neat to see snow! Cheers!
