Simple Party Cookies
It’s holiday baking season! Whether you celebrate Christmas or not, it’s always a fun time to make cookies. Here’s my childhood favorite recipe, called “party cookies” but you might just call them “M&M Cookies” if you aren’t bothered about trademarks. I recently came across a cookbook produced by my 3rd grade class, and a copy of this recipe was my contribution. Whenever my mom or I were called upon to submit a recipe to a cookbook, this was our go-to. I don’t know where the recipe came from originally though. Party Cookies

We finally got some rain last night!
Finally washing the smoke out of the air and giving the succulents on the porch a shower.
Thanks to Kelly-Moore Paints and 3M for providing free N95 masks!
Get yours while they last. The air quality in the Bay Area is so terrible due to the Camp Fire … We need rain!
