Welcome to my little hobby!! I love to eat and I am passionate about making sure that the foods I eat and the foods I feed my cute little family are healthy. I have so many wonderful recipes that I have found through the computer or some of my favorite cook books, so I thought it would be fun to share them with my wonderful friends and family. I am going to be posting a new recipe every day, some will be gluten free, sugar free, or just healthy:) I believe that it can be fun to eat healthy and can taste great as well. Now every weekend I will be throwing in some of my favorite treats and goodies recipes because I believe that everyone should be able to have a cheat day, and lets face it, life without some of our favorite treats is just not that fun. So enjoy these recipes, and hopefully they will make eating healthy fun again, and PLEASE enjoy your weekend goodies too:) Also please leave me comments on what you thought about the recipe after making it, and if there are other things you would like me to post about. I can also try to redo any recipes that may be your favorites and make them a healthier version. Enjoy

Lion House shortbread cookies


Love that it's the weekend, which means, GOODIES!!!! Well I should follow that rule a bit better, because it seems that lately we are having goodies all the time:) But let me just say that these cookies are sinful. I LOVE these cookies. It's so bad when I make these because I can never stop eating them:) I hope you enjoy these little beauties as much as my family and I do.

  2. 3/4 cup of sugar

  3. 1 egg

  4. 1tsp. vanilla

  5. 2 and 1/2 cups of flour

  6. 1/4 tsp. salt

  7. 1-2 tbsp. water if needed

  8. raspberry or strawberry jam

Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla;beat well. Sift salt and flour together; add to cream mixture a third at a time, mixing well after each addition. If dough is to stiff, add 1-2 tbsp. water. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill in refrigerator for about 1 hour.


-preheat oven to 375. Cut the chilled dough into 4 pieces. Roll each piece into a rope the size of your cookie sheet. Put the ropes on the cookie sheet side by side. With your finger, make an indentation all the way down the length of each rope. Bake for 10 min. Remove from the oven and fill the indentation with jam. Put back into the oven for another 10-12 min.
