Farmers Market Decorated Cookie Collection

View fullsize

Summer is filled with so many marvelous things. One of the best contributors is the locally fresh fruits and vegetables only found during the growing season.

It's funny......I planned on doing a farmers market themed cookie set and made a list of all the fruits and veggies I wanted to attempt. I misplaced the list and made a new one just before baking day came. I found the old list once the set was determined. I had at least 6 other produce items I had wanted to do but had forgotten about. There's SO MANY ideas for a farmers market. Thankfully I didn't attempt all of them at once! Maybe there's some left to try it again next summer. haha

Enjoy the abundance of color and yumminess this summer!

Veggie Tray Decorated Sugar Cookie Collection

This year I started an office manager position at a wellness chiropractic center.

I really believe in the things these folks are doing.....and wanted to develop

a low-carb cookie that I could share with them and their patients.

We had an open house and I brought the veggie tray. :)

Here's the simple grain-free (and gluten-free) cut-out sugar cookie recipe.

I used various circle cutters for most of the veggie cookies.

For the yellow bell pepper cookies, I used a long oval, and then moved the cutter 

over approximately 1/2" to create the long strips of pepper.

I used a large hibiscus flower cutter to get the tops of broccoli and cauliflower. :)

The carrots were made with a long oval with the bottom chopped off and rounded out.

And for the mushrooms I used a wider oval and cut the bottom sides to form stems.

Eating healthy never looked so good. ;)

Thanksgiving Cornucopia

I've been wanting to do a cornucopia grouping for Thanksgiving for quite some time. I had a wonderful time designing all the different elements and then arranging them together for  my 2011 Thanksgiving collection.

I made three cornucopia sets. One was sold at our Ukraine fundraiser auction last weekend. The second is to take to work on Thanksgiving Day (I have to work at the hospital for the holiday) to cheer everyone up when they have to work on such a special holiday. And the last group I've got on my own dining room table to celebrate Thanksgiving with my family. Every time I see it, I smile. :)

Here's the grouping at the auction.

And here's the "official" photo of my cornucopia collection. :)

Believe it or not.....I still have bunch of Thanksgiving cookies to share. I've been busy busy busy.
