Today was the YMCA’s annual Frostbite Run. And the weather lived up to the race’s name – it was only about 18 degrees outside. Aunt Ruth and Cousin Laura ran the 5 mile course in great time, and Justin and I came out to show our support for their craziness. Lots of runners definitely had spirit and ran with santa hats or jingle bells, but this trio really went all out! 
After the race, Justin wanted to pretend that he had just finished running it too. Which, I guess, means to hold a banana and look, um, exhausted?

Step Away from the Cookies…
So I was feeling pretty crummy yesterday. And the sick 11-year-old kid in me wanted to curl up on the couch with a blanket and watch movies. As in, watch movies I watched when I was 11. So while Justin cued up two that I ADORED when I was younger – The Little Mermaid & The Lion King- I produced a batch of these little darlings. 
These browned butter brown sugar shortbread cookies are eye-brow raising good. They’re cookies that won’t make it as the centerfold of a cookbook – but it will be on the page that is splattered with butter and flour and crusted with sugar.
Eventually I got to do just what that little girl in me wanted – to lay on the couch with a big blanket, nibble on something sweet, and watch what I wanted (and yes, I still know all the words to all the songs!).
