My first post!

My daughter has been asking me to start a blog for several months. She is eleven years old and quite persistent ,she set it all up for me pictures and all. I have been busy getting ready for Christmas . I find alot of inspiration on the different blogs Aiken House and Gardens,A Gathering of Thoughts, My Romantic Home and Sugar Pie Farmhouse to name a few. I want to thank Carolyn for being my first follower it was so sweet of her. Today I would like to share a recipe from my late mother-in-law . These are the first cookies I make each Christmas, they are my husbands favourite.


Chocolate Coconut Drops

6 heaping tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
1/2 cup of milk
1/2 cup of butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups of sugar
Bring the above ingredients to a rolling boil for 2 minutes.
Add 3 cups of old-fashioned oats and 1 cup of coconut.
Working quickly drop by heaping teaspoons onto waxed paper, let set.

I hope you enjoy these cookies as much as my family does.
