Roasted Apple and Sweet Potato Soup from Vicki Delany  A winter treasure!  I never add cream to a soup because a good soup doesn't need it. Case in point, the original version of this recipe called for 1/2 cup of whipping cream. In my mind that's nothing but totally unnecessary calories. This delicious soup is thick and creamy without adding cream or milk. The sweet taste of roasted apples comes though loud and clear and it’s packed with

A wee poem to share with you.

Mein Freund, by Donna Carrick

The day is long, mein freund.
The night is longer still.
A cold wind moves the curtain,
Causing my heart to chill.

Stay by my side, mein freund.
Be my forever breath,
Whispering words der liebe,
As fleeting as life to death.

Vicki Delany’s Stained Glass Cookies #Christmas #Christmascookies My mother made these cookies for Christmas all though my childhood, and long after. She always just called them Christmas cookies, but when I started sharing them with friends, I decided they needed a name.  This is the most basic of cookie recipes and is extremely easy to make. You can get the kids involved. Note that the dough needs at least an overnight in the fridge before slicing

I eat them fresh in salads or sandwiches, cooked into pasta sauce or on top of pastry.
