Roger's View of the World, Love and Seafood Gumbo!
Seize the Day! Put no trust in the morrow! — Horace
Every family has favorite recipes that are almost iconic and recognizable to those who know you. Holiday recipes say more about you than the car you choose to drive or the neighborhood you live in… because recipes — more than anything else — are deeply personal. What are yours?

The holiday season is a great time to bake cookies! If memory serves, nearly all of the cookies baked today are chocolate chip ( roughly 80%); however, chocolate is grand but there is so much more to try. One of our favorite cookies is this spicey gingerbread style cookies made in the shape of a mushroom that has been a family favorite forever…. and if you hide a few they keep virtually forever!
Besides mushroom cookies, we’ll be making some of the basics, sugar, butter, gingerbread, oatmeal, shortbread, lemon squares and a few more that you may have never heard of… but fun! One of my favorite that I enjoyed making in my youth comes by many names: Russian Tea cakes, Sandies or Mexican Wedding cakes. These little powdered sugar dusted nutty canonball shaped delights are wonderful with a frosty glass of milk!
So what will you be making this year?
