Mmm, it's dificult to put into words how absolutely delicious our Butter Pecan Cookie is in your mouth! As always, we start with creamery butter for extra yummy richness, but the final ingredients are what makes these so unique--toasted pecans, toffee bits, and butterscotch chips. Betcha can't find a cookie like this very easily! They're one of the most unique cookies we've ever created and we think you'll agree, they may have to become an item on our regular menu!

Everyone who tastes our Lemon Sugar Cookie falls madly in love with it. It's just one of those cookies you can't stop eating! Light, buttery, and lemony all in the same bite. The perfect cookie for spring. We decided to jazz them up for spring a bit so instead of rolling them in clear sugar crystals, we're dressing them up in a pretty pastel pink for April! Fun and festive, don't you think?

This is a recent photo of my daughter, Paige. I was preparing her lunch one afternoon when I turned around to find her in the refrigerator, eating the remains of a chocolate pie we had for dessert the night before! As soon as she realized she had been caught, she gave me this forlorn look, her eyes begging me not to take it away from her! The fruit doesn't fall far from the tree--she's a chocoholic like both of her parents at the tender age of 16 months!

I fall in love all over again with my children whenever they enter a new stage of development, but right now, Paige has me falling harder than usual. I love watching her wheels turn as she rapidly increases her vocabulary, love holding her chubby little hand in mine while she goes down for a nap, love watching her playing with Aidan (they do start fighting over toys young though, don't they!?), and especially love walking into her room in the morning to start a new day with her. If only I could stop the clock.

Whew, it feels like summer and it's barely spring! We've had some record highs here in Waynesville the past week or so and I was briefly tempted to turn on my air conditioning one afternoon! The photo is a Weeping Cherry tree we have in our front yard. It produces the most delicate pink blooms--they just don't last long enough. I hope the weather and colors are just as beautiful wherever you call home.

If you're local or are visiting Waynesville in April, check out the season's first play at our award winning community theatre, Haywood Arts Regional Theatre (HART). It's entitled Metamorphoses and sounds like a winner. While you're there, enjoy a cookie from Blue Ridge Baking Company in the concession area. We are proud to work in conjunction with the theatre to offer people a taste of heaven while they enjoy a night out on the town!

Happy Easter and Happy Spring!
