I just received word from my nephew that his young daughter won 3rd prize in a 4-H baking contest. She chose a recipe from “Think With Your Tastebuds” and it was a special recipe for me.
The recipe, Soft Ginger Cookies” , is on page 151 in the book and it is a recipe from my grandmother. It was a real favorite of my Dad’s and the cookie jar was always filled with these delicious treats.
I have that cookie jar in my home and it always reminds me of those wonderful days with mother baking and filling the house with heavenly scents.
I’m proud of my great-niece, and happy for her, as well. What a wonderful organization the 4-H clubs are.
I have said that “Think With Your Tastebuds” is a book for all cooks, from novice to experienced, and am so honored that a recipe from our book has been recognized as special.
Happy baking! Have fun as you put “your own spin” on a recipe and make it all you own.
