Chocolate Dipped Shortbread Hearts
This weekend I made the chocolate dipped shortbread heart recipe that I featured on YumSugar last week. My friend Jon was over so he was working as my sous-chef/photographer while I was making these cookies. They came out really good (I dipped some in white chocolate which the recipe doesn't call for) and while I was making them my dad kept saying how he wasn't going to eat any and that he didn't like shortbread and blah blah blah.Goatbread Cookies

A new type of visitor came to the National Mall this year, flitting past monuments and museums in favor of trees, flowers and plants. But this wasn’t just some horticultural tour; no, this was work. Each day they were abuzz, gathering and pollinating before returning home to modest quarters with tremendous security near Lafayette Park.

Okay, so I can't seem to stop thinking of pumpkins since we have two huge ones to cook and one to decorate. I was looking for a good pumpkin soup recipe and came across this desert. It sounds pretty good so I thought I'd share it.Ewan McGregor Revs Up His Reality Show

They are easy to make and wonderful with a cup of tea - with or without milk, but don't get us started on that again :) Lemon Crisps This recipe is right there at the top of my "gotta have something baked and sweet without guilt" recipe collection.
You'll want to mix up a double batch and freeze one roll, or some uncooked rounds for a "just baked" satisfying treat...
