Happy holidays to you and your family!
We are so grateful for our Splash Fabric extended family (that means you!) and we hope you have a wonderful holiday season. This year I have a lot to celebrate- including a new cookie recipe (below)!
We are celebrating the joys of the year and when we could all be together. We were so thankful this year for being able to be at our son’s wedding (look for the boots from our broken legs in the photo) after being hit on our bikes in August by a distracted driver - (don’t text & drive)!!
Right now our sons are home and we love how Splash Fabric tablecloths have gone from protecting the table when they were kids to providing a backdrop for games and fun now that they are adults.
That's our new Tartan tablecloth in the photo! It's no match for cookie crumbs and spilled milk!
Speaking of cookies, favorite new recipe of the season is Peanut Butter Blossoms (although, the classic sugar cookie is hard to beat).
I make mine Gluten free.
For most recipes you can substitute gluten free flour- and there are so many good options now.
Pro tip: I found Hershey’s Kisses in DARK chocolate for a step up this year!
