He gave me diamonds this morning...

On the way to school this morning, I drove the two big guys through our gorgeous park.  The sky, clear of all clouds (amazing!) was my favorite shade of blue.  Lake Julia (such a lovely name), blanketed in ice and snow, sparkled with countless diamonds.  Isn't nature wonderful?  God's beauty is all around us.

I baked cookies today.  I have this shortcut that makes it so much easier, and less cleanup! 

 Instead of making several batches of cookies, you can do them all at once.  Here's how:

Get a large cookie sheet.  Drop the cookie dough onto it and spread it out over the whole pan with your fingers.  Bake at the same temperature and length as the recipe calls for.  You  may have to bake it a few extra minutes, so check it every minute after the intial time ends.  You'll have one huge cookie, and when it cools, just slice it into squares!  Today I made a two sided cookie.  One side was chocolate chip, the other side was chocolate sugar cookie.  Hope you liked my tip!!  The nice thing about this, too, is you can control the size of each cookie!
