I am head over heels

so I just needed to share 

this lovely new cookbook

that came to my door the other day

The Back in the Day Bakery Cookbook 

we have been baking from it all weekend long

first up were these amazing

oatmeal coconut cookies

really without a lie these are the best cookies I have ever made

and that is saying something because I have made millions

of cookies in my lifetime

{the cookie dough is to die for...i am surprised we had any left to make the cookies}

next we moved onto the

banana-chocolate chip cupcakes

with

chocolate cream cheese frosting

wowy...wow ...wow...is all I can say to that

the

bourbon bread pudding

is next our list

this is my new favourite cookbook

and the images are just darling

and so are cheryl and griffith the owners

of 

The back in the day bakery in Savannah, Georgia

pop over here  to see the book trailer....soooooo adorable 

{so much for my non-sugar month...we will see if I can be good for the rest of the week...really you  say...I can just hear you all now}

{hugadoodles to you all}

I am now officially on spring break for 2 whole weeks

happy happy dance

{buttons & recipes}

grandma's treasures

and

my sweet memories...

a jar full of white buttons

a recipe book full of love

{buttons saved....snipped and clipped}
"what can I do today grandma?"
her sweet reply....
"go get the button jar...we will sort and count..
you can show me your favourites."

{grandma always wore a special apron }
"grandma, how much do I add?"
"oh a pinch of this and a dash of that",
my grandma would say with a twinkle
in her eye....

sweet memories
of
grandma's house
a home filled with
love
and enough hugs
to last a lifetime...
oh how I treasure
my button jar
and
sweet recipe book
