Happy First Day of Fall, Y'all!

So sad to have to say good-bye to Summer, but can't help but love Fall. To celebrate this first day of Fall, I'm sharing the recipe for these delicious little morsels:

This is actually my mom's recipe, but I'm sure she won't mind.

Ginger Snaps

3/4 cup margerine or shortening
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup molasses
1 t cinnamon
1 t ground cloves
1 t ground ginger
2 cups all purpose flour
1 t baking soda
1/4 t salt

Mix all the ingredients together at one time. Form into balls. Roll in sugar. Place wide apart on slightly greased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 for 8-10 minutes.

We made a double batch last night. There were plenty for us and an abundance to share with the neighbors.


Eight days until the Halloween decorations go up....so excited...........

You made me cry. I miss ya'll and I want a gingersnap. Too bad they don't make gingersnap atkins bars. It is still hot here so come here and you can have a longer summer. How about tomorrow?
