Gingerbread Cookies

Today I will be making my grandma Wolf’s frosted creams or gingerbread cookies. This recipe was passed down to my mom and then to me. This is one of my childhood christmas time traditions where mom would make and bake the cookies and the kids would help frost the cookies and lick the beaters. Now I am sharing her recipe with you.

Vichyssoise or Potato-Leek Soup

Today I am going to make a true classic, Potato leek soup or Vichyssoise. I am going to give it a bit of a twist today by adding some ginger. This soup is traditionally served cold, but it can be served warm as well, so it is perfect no matter what hemisphere you are in. I am going to be making a large batch of soup today, you can half this recipe if it is too much for you.
