I have a strange love for decorating cookies. I'm not that great at it and to be honest I really don't enjoy eating them once decorated but any holiday or theme seems an appropriate time to decorate cookies.

A while back I shared a post about meatless/vegetarian meals that we try to incorporate once or twice a week. Meatless meals don't bother me but my husband is not exactly a fan.
