National Oatmeal Cookie Day

National Oatmeal Cookie Day
March 18
Some of my fondest cooking memories are when my mom and I would make oatmeal cookies from the recipe on the Quaker Oats box. That recipe calls for applesauce and raisins, leaving you with moist and chewy cookies to die for. I also like nuts in mine. Some even put chocolate chips in the cookies. How do you like yours? All you need is a glass of cold milk and a cozy blanket to cuddle up with on the couch. I may have to make some today.

Baking cookies is a great way to connect with your kids and oatmeal cookies are super easy to make.

 A great combination.

St. Patrick's Day

St. Patrick's Day
March 17



On the day of green, why not consume some corned beef and cabbage with some green beer! Sounds good to me. Did you know that while cabbage is eaten in Ireland, corned beef was used as a substitute for bacon by Irish-American immigrants in the late 1800's. I love corned beef and cabbage. The only thing better is a corned beef sandwich with sauerkraut and thousand island dressing.

Who is bringing the soda bread and Guinness? Soda bread is a quick bread that uses baking soda instead of yeast for leavening. Guinness is the best selling alcoholic drink of all time in Ireland. I prefer my beer on the lighter side, but I can make an exception today.

What are your St. Patrick's Day traditions?
