Love in Action Journey

Okay, okay ... as promised, here is the recipe for those little yummy square biscuits "little bear" and I made last week. Seriously!! It is the easiest recipe and always makes a good amount on cookies.  Jan’s Glitzy Glam, Super- Easy Shortbread 250g softened butter or baking margarine (they say butter always tastes better, but I always use the baking  margarine ) 1 cup caster sugar 3 cups flour Pinch of salt ♥   Mix butter and caster sugar ♥   Add flour and salt (can add choc chips too) ♥   Press into lined baking tin ♥   Prick with a fork (to give it that short bread look) ♥   Sprinkle with extra caster sugar and edible glitter (just because we love bling and we can!) ♥   Bake at 180 deg C for 17 minutes As soon as the are out the oven I cut them into squares. Enjoy with a cup of tea (or make me jealous and have a Starbucks for me) and know that I am sending you a hug! Much love, Janine xxx

I had one of those days ... you know those ones when nothing seems to cheer you up?! I have had my neck in a brace with such a sore neck for days. The Chiropractor has tried to click it into place, the physio has tried to manipulate it, they've x-rayed it and all I can see is my "Christmas budget" flying out the window while the bills pile up and they just can't work out why the heck it is so sore. Anyway ... after gulping back the payment for the x-rays that revealed NOTHING ... I just kinda sat back and had a good old sulk ... and then I bumped into the loveliest little blog that brought a smile to my face ... it's called "Sweet tea and biscuits" . Well it did the trick for me. It inspired me to take my stiff-sore neck off into the kitchen and whip up a yummy batch of comfort peanut butter-choc-chip cookies. Sigh!!! Nothing beats the smell of cookies baking in the oven. In no time I could feel the edges of my mouth tip up into a little tentative smile ...
