Happy T Stands for Tuesday-where we link up with Bleubeard and Elizabeth for T. You are welcome to join in-just share a drink related photo and link up-click on T in my sidebar.
Since I most always write my T posts on Monday, I am wishing everyone a Happy Valentine's Day. End of last week I baked up two batches of valentine cookies-one wheat and one gluten free, and I even frosted them with sprinkles on top 😀 I will have more about the cookies on my Food Wednesdays post
It's been up and down with the weather here-warmed up nicely with a good melt, although there are still areas of snow piles that were deep, and then it has turned quite cold over the weekend again. A warmer day tomorrow before it gets cold again.
We have enjoyed lovely views most every morning, out our wall of windows this past week,
Saturday I made up another crisp in a cast iron pan. I had about 8 apples left, and our Wisconsin friends gifted me with a large bag of blueberries they had picked and then frozen, from a friend's farm up near Green Bay Wisconsin. This was so delicious.
How wonderful to see that sky reflected in the lake.
ReplyDeleteDid you know that frozen blueberries are ideal for putting them inside cakes since they don't stain them?
No I did not know that-thank you
DeleteGreat looking cookies. I haven't done cut outs in a few years...
ReplyDeleteYour views over the lake are just gorgeous!!! And we have had the same weather as you. Bitter cold now but expected up to 60 again later this week.
You always make some delicious looking cast iron dishes. And your special coffee sounds perfect to me. Happy Valentine's day, and happy T day too!
thanks so much and the chocolate in the coffee was really good
DeleteI LOVE your bison and wolf cookie cutters - how fun! I bet the cookies were twice as delicious this way. The crisp looks delicious as well. The views over the lake from your home are simply awesome. Happy T day!
ReplyDeleteThank you -I love all things Yellowstone so these are two of my cutters which are my favorites. the best part of this new home are sunrises over the lake early mornings
DeleteHappy T
You made some fun cookies for Valentine's Day Kathy. I'm not a coffee drinker, but I wonder how coco would taste with just a tad bit of coffee in it, since coffee enhances the chocolate taste. Hmmm, you have me thinking. And what gorgeous sunsets. We have had some color, but not like that. I hope you have a great T day and week ahead. I have some food for Wednesday too. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteHi Erika, these were fun to make for us. I think that is a good idea-mostly hot cocoa with a bit of coffee.
Deleteyes these are early sunrises are always so special-different every day. I look forward to your food wednesdays post happy T
The sugar cookies look yummy. Lovely lake photos. Happy T Day.
ReplyDeletethank you Happy T
DeleteThose sunrise scenes are gorgeous! Would be even better sitting there watching the sunrise and eating some butter cookies :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Angie-we do that too-smiles
DeleteI love the cookies. What fun the animal cookies are. Of course I would choose a wolf. Your apple/blueberry crisp looks oh-so-delicious- perfect with that special cup of coffee!
ReplyDeleteGood morning, yes we have been enjoying these cookies and the crisp too. I loved the cocoa mix in my coffee will do that again for sure
DeleteOh!!!! Wonderful, beautiful views of your lake! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI sure would / will bake cookies of another kind, but yours look great.
I would likely make a mobile from that ;-)
In fact Ingo plans a maritime mobile of Northern beer cans.
A happy T to you! (Your card... nada. Nothing. So sad).
You are welcome-every morning the sky has been beautiful lately. and these cookies were not that sweet either- I wonder what the mail did to my card-oh well I will send you another one soon hugs
DeleteWhat wonderful sugar cookies. Really LOVED seeing the hearts, the wolves, and the bison cookies. Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteYour views of the lake are always gorgeous and these are truly lovely.
Your apple blueberry crisp is really making me hungry. Now I want something sweet. I can see why yours went so well with your decaf coffee that you "spiced up" with your cocoa mix and whipped cream. The perfect pairing of wonderful food and drink. Thank you so much for sharing your sunrise and moon shots over the lake, your cookies, apple blueberry crisp, and your lovely coffee with whipping cream with us for T this Tuesday, dear Kathy. Happy Valentine's Day, too.
thank you so much Elizabeth
DeleteKathy, those sky pictures are amazing! Wow.
ReplyDeleteYummy looking cookies, crisp, and coffee cocoa. Wish I had one of those cookies right now!
Happy T-day and hugz
thank you-hugs back
DeleteIt's been ages since I had heart-shaped cookies for Valentine's Day. What a treat! Your lake views are something worth getting up for :) I haven't had that French press coffee idea but will try it, thanks.
ReplyDeleteHappy T Tuesday
yo are welcome, I don't remember the last time I made valentine cookies but we both really enjoyed them Happy T
DeleteYour heart cookies look so pretty and the other shaped cookies so fun. Views from your window are gorgeous and wouldn't a piece of apple/blueberry crisp taste so good right about now. Happy T Day
ReplyDeletethanks so much CJ
DeleteYum those cookies look good...Your views out the windows are so beautiful. And that crisp-wow!
ReplyDeletethank you everything was really delicious
DeleteFun shaped cookies.
ReplyDeletethanks Anne
DeleteWow, those cookies look amazing! The shapes and decorations are perfect and I'd love to try one with my cuppa today 😁. What wonderful views you had each morning over the lake, the colours look spectacular! That crisp looks good too, I made an apple crumble this weekend - so yummy 😉. Happy T Day! Hugs Jo x
ReplyDeletethanks so much. I love making these crumbles too Happy T
DeleteCookies, wonderful treats and fantastic sky photos, a really lovely post. Happy T Day, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeletethank you Valerie-hugs
DeleteI love the cookies and how can one go wrong with crisp. Yummm. Love the photos. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the crisp and thanks so much
DeleteOh your cookies look delish! And I really like those fun cookie cutters.
ReplyDeleteThe red sky over the lake is spectacular. You are so lucky to see that almost every day.
Your blueberry crisp looks really yummy. I can almost smell it. Here we buy blueberries by the handful. They are so expensive. It's because there is no culture of using blueberries, so the supermarkets don't store them, and when they do, I can't afford them.
Belated happy T-Day,
Hugs,
Lisca
thanks Lisca, we have really enjoyed these cookies too. yes I feel very greatful to be able to view these lovely sunrises.
Deletedidn't realize the blueberries did not grow there-they are one of my favorite fruits. they do have to grow in a very acid soil.
Happy T hugs
Splendid views. Love the cookies. Nice friend of yours gave blueberries and turned to yummy treats. Happy T day.
ReplyDeleteWow! Cookies, apple and blueberry crisp and a most delicious way to make coffee....and THEN.....those fabulous skies! Wishing you a very belated but very Happy T Day, Chrisx
ReplyDeletethank you so much Chris
