Supper is planned....

I am making the Bacon Cheeseburger Potato soup that I posted here last January!  Since it feels like January outside :(  The whole week is not looking nice for weather here in my neck of the woods so warm, comfort foods will be in order!  I apologize for neglecting this blog - it is hard to keep  up with my jobs :)  I do post much more frequently on my facebook page - Life By Jill Marie - please join me there as a friend, if you haven't already done so!  Have a great day and keep warm!

Grandma Vi's Ginger Cookies

This recipe comes from my Mother-in-Law's recipe box.  Perhaps she is smiling down on me today as I made her recipe :)  Sure helped the house smell good and warm up as its a lovely 37 degrees here in Morris, MN today.........................Spring was last weekend I guess and we are back to FALL or winter?  Winter in some parts of the state and thankfully (for me) not mine!

Have a great day and whip up these cookies - they didn't take long at all.
