Mothering Many

I did say recipes, tips and ideas, and today, it’s a tip. And, yeah, I know it’s Christmas Eve. And you know I said eight. There will be eight. Remember that we’ll be celebrating well into January. On to the tip!

When you are baking cookies, and the recipe calls for nuts, roast them with a bit of butter and salt before you add them to the cookie dough. Just a bit now. It adds a wonderful flavor. Trust me. Go roast some nuts now, because I’ll be in my kitchen doing the same shortly! I have two pounds of pecans in there just crying for some flavor enhancing salt and butter!

PS: If you’ve ever wondered why contemporary furniture is so much wider than antique furniture, tips like this one are why.
