Anise Cookies

Posted on December 11, 2023 by Tina Garceau

It’s that time of year, and I’ve been experimenting with some new cookies to add to my old favorites. Bake a couple to test, and freeze the rest of the dough for a future baking session!

Minestrone Soup

This minestrone soup is a hearty (and meatless) meal for a cold night. You can customize it by adding other vegetables, different beans, or pasta. Bonus is that it freezes well!

This treasure came from my in-law’s house. My mother-in-law used it to hold Christmas cards. It was manufactured in Japan by the Samson Import Company in 1964.
