One of my favorite ways to spend the afternoon is baking a delicious treat for 4 o'clock snack time! Lately we have had chocolate chip cookies, carrot cake muffins, banana muffins, gingerbread biscotti and today vanilla biscotti. I know this is a simple pleasure but it really is a comfort to me (in this uncertain world) to offer my children a sweet, lovelingly baked to suprise them as they come into the cozy comfort of home! They realize they were thought of and I know I am taking care of them well! (It also keeps them from saying "I'm hungry, what can I have..." for the millionth time!)
