Diets and cookies.

You might think these two don’t go hand in hand but then you obviously haven’t incorporated shortbread into your daily routine life.  Now, let’s just ignore the fact that they are probably the most butter-licious cookie on the block and really hone in on the fact they are essentially slice n’ bake cookies. Which makes them the ultimate in terms of portion control. Just throw a log in the freezer and slice off a cookie or two whenever a craving hits! At least you’ll be limited to eating one instead of, you know, two dozen. As some of us are wont to do.

I really loved the lemon and rosemary flavors in these because they made them seem so refreshing and oh so perfect for summer! I hope that Little Kitchie, who I sent them to as part of this month’s The Leftovers Club, enjoyed them as much as I did!

If you get what I’m saying.

The thing about going away for a weekend, even if it is to a food blog conference where you are surrounded by people who think, breathe, and dream about food almost as much, if not more, than you do, is that you never quite eat the way you want to.

Whether it’s too much food, too little food, too much dessert, or not enough veggies, I always find it a bit of a relief to return home to my own oven and get something on the stove so that I can lose myself in the act of creating something that is exactly what I’m craving, all the while reflecting on the goings-on of the past few days.
