Our Creative Memories consultant, Cathy, hosts the weekend [...]
Well, today is game day at our house–where 9-11 guys come over and play board games, shouting about aztec gold and pirates, among other things. For dessert, I made snickerdoodles and spiced sour cream cupcakes. The snickerdoodles were a big hit–they’re light and small, and a frequent request of my husband’s when I take cookie [...]

Making turkey meatballs–half for Game Day, and half to freeze for future use. Bake cookies [...]
