Lemon Lavender Shortbread Cookies
Lemon Lavender Shortbread Cookies are quite unique. The fusion of the lemon with the lavender is quite divine on the palate.

I don’t have the time to make the Lemon Lavender Pound Cake tonight that I really wanted to bake. So, instead of the yummy pound cake I have decided to go with a tasty chocolate treat.
Now, I knew that I needed to jazz up this...

I filled my days and nights caring for our beloved almost 8 years old Golden Retriever, Coco. Over the past month and half, my intuition told me there was...
