I decided this week that instead of beating winter I wanted to focus on embracing spring.
So…starting next week I’d love for you to come and join your springy, inspired projects.
I even have a pretty new button to get you in the mood.

(There’s another very exciting Spring project in the works too but I can’t let the cat out of the bag just yet)
In the meantime how about a great cracker masquerading as a cookie?
Parmesan Biscotti
2 3/4 cup flour, zest of 1 lemon, 1 tsp. crushed pepper, 1 cup parmesan (preferably freshly grated but if you don’t have it-use what ever you do have), 1/2 tsp. baking powder.
Mix your dry ingredients together and add five eggs.
Combine until it JUST forms a ball.  If you’re mixture is a bit dry then you can always add a tablespoon of water.
Form into a log.  Sprinkle with more parm and bake for 30 minutes at 330 or until firm.
Slice into 1/2 inch diagonal pieces.
Rebake for 20 minutes (turning halfway through) or until the slices are hard.
Serve with a balsamic glaze (balsamic boiled down until it reaches a syrup stage), a nice marinara, a bowl of soup or a cheesie dip.
Very much looking forward to seeing you next Saturday.
I love hearing from you. Leave a comment-make my day.
