Nana's Sesame Seed Cookies

One of my favorite cookies my Nana used to make were Sesame Seed.  A firm cookie that was rolled in sesame seeds and baked until toasted. It seems like yesterday that I was eating these cookies and I never could get my fill of them.  Not too sweet just right!  In other words..........  Yummy!

This is straight from my Cookbook so I'm sharing a family recipe because that's what this blog is about.  Friends sharing recipes from generation to generation and hopefully more generations in the future.

 Last Chance to enter for my first Give away


I'm having my first give-away! It's A Tuttorosso Gift Pack which includes 1- 28 oz. can of crushed with basil tomatoes, 1-28 oz. can peeled plum tomatoes, 1-28 oz. can tomato sauce and 1-6oz. can tomato paste, plus a Tuttorosso apron, a Tuttorosso wooden spoon and some great recipes too.

You can register to win special prices on their facebook page too!  They will be giving away 1,000 aprons per week, a daily drawing of 1 heirloom wooden spoon, and a grand prize of a Martha Stewart Cookware set. Just go to http;//www.facebook.com/tuttorossotomato to enter.

I have been using Tuttorosso products for years and love them.  All my special red sauce meals are made using Tuttorosso products. I am excited that they contacted me and said along with sending me those items one lucky person who I choose would receive the same. It starts tomorrow so as of this moment the only idea I can come up with is that you email me your name and address and I'll keep track of the entries that way and when it comes to the time I will use Random.org and have them pick a name randomly. My email address is mjkitchenjoy@gmail.com.   Enter as many times as you like I'll keep them and when the promotion is over I'll then have Random.org choose the winner and notify them as to who to send the products to.


Are you ready for some fun?

My Christmas Reminder . If you want to make some wonderful memories with your grandchildren this is a must. My sweeties are growing so quickly but I have these memories to last forever. They laugh now at how they drew then and now.

 

I post these photos every year as a suggestion to all grandparents. I have this tradition every Christmas where my grandchildren write, draw or color something that reminds them of Christmas on a washable tablecloth with fabric/markers/ pens that I purchased at our local craft store. I didn't start it as early as I had wanted to so take note of that.

Try to start this Christmas tradition when they are young enough to draw a little bit. Maybe 3. I started when our youngest grandson was 4. They love doing it and the oldest are 18 so I'm thinking it may be their last at this but who knows?

Making wonderful memories that will last a lifetime. I bought my tablecloth for around $10  and the pens are probably around $5 or so. Enjoy! We sure do!!
