Yosemite {Yo-seh-muh-tee}

If you live anywhere near Yosemite, you must go as soon as you can! And if you don't live near Yosemite, put it on your travel list. We went for a day and a half and were in awe of the incredible beauty and serenity found there. I don't think I have said "Wow! That is amazing!" so many times. Go. You will be so happy you did.

Cinderella Cookies {aka Chewy Oatmeal Cookies}

My girl, for some reason, calls these Cinderella cookies...and they are delicious! Find the recipe here, and don't forget the baking soda (because I did that and threw out the cookies and had to start over).

Mint Thins

MIX chocolate and extract.

DIP crackers in chocolate, turning to completely coat each cracker. Carefully scrape off excess chocolate. Place crackers in single layer on waxed paper-covered baking sheets; sprinkle with crushed candy.
