Frosting for the Cause

I am so excited to be taking part in this fund raising activity. I think it is such a wonderful idea, and all for a great cause. Everyone knows someone who has been touched by cancer, it is a horrible disease that shows no mercy, no discrimination, and no compassion. If for some reason, you don't know someone let me tell you of two.




Two incredible woman. Two incredible survivors.

My maternal grandmother is first. I call her Puppy Mouse (it's a German thing), she battled and won Breast Cancer at the age of 75. She is still alive and kicking 15 years later! Can you believe it she turned 90 last year!

My other Grandmother, I call her Wapy nanny ( she bought me a bird I named Wapy, and yes I still call her this at age 31). She fought, and won her battle with lymphoma. While she was in palliative care she fell and broke her hip. We all thought that our days with her were numbered. Her incredible spirit, one like none other I've ever seen, is what got her through. This is a picture of her this past December celebrating Birthday # 87 with her 3rd Great grandchild, my baby we call him ZooZoo. She also recently took a trip to Ireland with her daughter to discover her roots! How many can say that we have done that?

I'm encouraging you to go and read the details on their website http://www.frostingforthecause.com/ it will be clearer coming straight from them. It's about sharing recipes, goodies, and donating all for a great cause.

So I have my date booked as May 13th. This is when I get to share my recipe! Now what recipe should I choose??? That is the question. A Yummy cupcake, fabulous cookie??? How can I decide? I know, I'll let you decide.

So here are the details. The entire fund raising done by Frosting for the Cause is based on the honor system. So I will do the same. If i get 50 people to commit to donating any amount to any cancer organization of their choice I will let you choose the recipe. I'll post up a couple of choices and you can tell me what recipe you want from me.

Simply comment on this post once you have donated and once I get 50 of you that donate, I will post up the choices.

Please give generously!

So like I said I am making a solid effort to get back into regular blogging. So to kick it off, the easiest thing I can blog about. The best selling, most favorite cookie at Sweet Bites of Joy! You know it, Melting Moments.



These are two short bread, buttery, melt in your mouth cookies, that are only made better by a creamy smooth chocolate chip filling.







Want a closer look??? I thought so





These make such a great gift. The cookies themselves actually stay fresh and fantastic for at least 4 days if not longer! I have a few variations of these that I am dying to try. Chocolate, Mocha, Lemon. Oh the possibilities!
