Kindness & Cheesecake Blondies

Mar 5, 2017 ·

Caring for a kitten in Afghanistan ~William Keys

Along this grief journey there have been quite a few moms who have touched my heart and inspired me to do better. Doreen is one of those moms. This poem is a gift from her.

Choose kindness. It could make all the difference in your day or someone else’s day or a pet’s day or even the world.

This recipe was born from kindness. Inspired by my friend Laurie’s homemade salted caramel this dessert is salty, sweet, creamy and crunchy…need I say more? How kind of a dear friend to share her culinary sweetness with me. Thank you again, Laurie.

    This is beautifully written and a treasured keepsake!
    The sort of kindness exemplified in the poem is truly bitter-sweet. Love you❤

      It’s a lesson we should learn without having to feel such pain.

    I love the poem your friend gave to you and wish I did not also feel your grief of losing a child. I will be trying those cheesecake blondes you made too!

      Yes, I am sorry you are part of this club. It’s more than sorrow, so hard to explain. Glad you like the recipe and hope you are able to share a few with your favorite people.

    This is the perfect message for the Lenten season.
