Cherry Winks ;)
My Mom, my Sister, my Daughter & I made these at Christmas time so we used red & green cherries, but these would also be great for your honey on Valentine's Day...This is my Grandma's recipe & she insists that she received many marriage proposals because of these cookies :)
2 1/4 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup softened butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup chopped dates
1/3 cup chopped maraschino cherries
2 2/3 cups crushed corn flakes
15 maraschino cherries cut into quarters
Add eggs (minus bits of shell, of course), beat well.
Stir in nuts, dates & chopped cherries.
Bake at 375 for about 10 minutes.
Makes about 5 dozen.
Enjoy! ;)
Tip: Be sure to either eat these right away or keep them sealed up tight so the cornflakes don't get stale!

It's Another Girl :)
Monday's Child is Fair of Face...
So the doctor broke my water at 8:18 a.m. on Monday, November 21 (5 days past my due date) & we welcomed our beautiful baby girl, Nova Gail, to our world exactly 7 1/2 hours later...We named her "Nova" after my husband's paternal great-grandfather & "Gail" after his maternal grandfather...Not often you can give a little girl 2 grandfather names :) And of course "Nova" also means bright star & "Gail" means merry & lively...She is such a sweet baby & our little Paven has been a wonderful Big Sister, I'm so proud of her...We are so blessed ♥
