Create Everyday

My Mom loves to cook. In my family and old neighborhood she is known for her pound cakes. She has made every flavor and type of pound cake you can imagine from a traditional to Red Velvet to German chocolate. Eventually, I will post all the recipes my Mom shared with her children. The first pound cake recipe I'm posting is the traditional pound cake. It has a pound of sugar, butter, eggs and flour. My Mom found this recipe from CHARLESTON RECEIPTS which was first printed in 1950.

White Chocolate Covered Matzo

My son, was craving chocolate. I was also craving chocolate and decided to make one of my favorite cookies, CLASSIC SHORTBREAD with chocolate chips. I told my son this would be my creation for the day. He told me that "baking was not a craft". I told him baking was a craft. He is on the debate team and was looking for a debate. I told him to look up the word craft and he did. CRAFT:   1 : skill in planning, making, or doing                             2 a : an occupation requiring skill in using the hands  Here is my creation...this amazingly easy and tasty cookie.
