Pizzelle

Pizzelle cookies are the BEST! Make them and you will fall in love!
Mix with a mixer: 6 eggs, 2 sticks of butter, 2 cups of sugar, 3 tablespoons cream,
1 teaspoon vanilla, and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract. Mix until pretty smooth.
Add 5 1/2 cups flour gradually. The dough will be like a sticky sugar cookie dough.
Chill for a minimum of one hour. When the dough is ready get the iron heating and
keep a bowl of flour near by for your hands. With floured hands roll the dough into
small balls.


When the iron is hot, rub with butter and put a ball on each side just behind the middle point and close.
Hold down to make the cookies more delicate and thin.


It will take 30 seconds to one minute for each set of cookies. Open the iron to see beautiful cookies! Gently remove with a spatula.
Let cool and enjoy!!! They only get better as they sit!
We made chocolate sauce and made ice cream sundaes with our cookies. Yum Yum,

Snow Hike



Andrew suggested this morning
that we hike Bells Canyon today.
This is a really fun hike in the
summer but we have never done
it in the snow. It was actually really
fun and not cold at all (this is coming
from me)





My handsome husband.



















The reservoir was frozen so we had to go out a little...

Cute Dad


Poor Dad thought that
we would smile and be
normal too. Classic
picture, and classic
moment when we got
the pictures back and
he realized we had pulled
faces.

Jack is Fat


So Jack is fat. This isn't news to anyone. My neighbor's
daughter works at an animal clinic and they are doing a
"Biggest Loser"for animals. My neighbor thought
Jack would be a good candidate. You take your animal
in for a picture and they give you free diet food.
We will have to wait for the second contest which
is in March, since the first contest has already started.
He is a good dog.
