Yummy Cookies to Share the Love

Yes, in my dreams I was going to be blogging all February about Love and Cardiac Wellness.
My reality turned out a little different. All you moms know what I mean.

So here we are the last week in February and I hope you have had a month full of love and wellness.

I still have a few days to write my favorite Yummy Cookie Recipe which I make for Valentine Day. You can make these cookies in any shape for any holiday. Are the cookies good for your heart ??? - Not sure,  but I know this -  they are very yummy and comforting. You can use this recipe and cut the shape of three leaf clover and frost green for St. Patrick's Day.

I always like to make extra of everything and have some to share. It is so rare today to receive a gift of homemade cookies. So the love thing ... think of someone who might need to be loved and give some sweetness. The ingredients may have sugar and butter but if you give them with love it cancels calories and fats. Well, ok maybe not, but giving is definitely good for the heart. "We are given two hands. One to receive with and one to give with"
Giving is good for the heart!
Be blessed until the next blog.
