I firmly believe that baking is an expression of love. Of giving
love in the purest sense. Giving of your time, talents and
energies to create joy and happiness for others. Giving of a
piece of yourself. Give some love this week. Bake one of these
tasty cookie recipes. Then sit down with a glass of milk with
someone you love. Share that baked treat and a piece of
yourself. You might just be surprised by how far a plate full of
cookies and an honest conversation can take you.
