When Your Daughter Cooks From Your Cookbook

Yesterday my daughter got a bee in her bonnet to bake some sugar cookies so
she started searching various and sundry recipe websites and nothing
appealed to her. When suddenly it occurred to me - I have a recipe for sugar
cookies (and darn good ones at that) in my COMFORT FOOD MAKEOVERS cookbook! (released this past January)

The next thing I knew she was reaching for egg substitute and pulling out the less fat margarine. The only change she made was to use all sugar instead of half sugar and half Splenda (totally understandable). The dough turned out perfect and the anticipated yummy sugar cookies arrived shortly thereafter.

After the cookies turned out so well, she started flipping through the
cookbook, "hey this recipe sounds good" "I want to try this 10-minute
Spaghetti Carbonara" "Can we make this Earthquake Cake Sometime?"
"Let's make this Any Fruit Cobbler recipe this summer!"

Wow! One of those mommy moments I won't soon forget.
