What to Write? What to write? I got nothin'! So, instead I will share YOUR top 3 favorite recipes from all my years of blogging plus a little something new I like to call Whoopie pie filling.
BTW-your favorites are for sure some of mine. May love always guide you in the kitchen. Let's reveal good grief cooks best recipes. Plus, I can't wait for you to try the most delicious marshmallow fluff buttercream
Not one bit surprised that the list of the best recipes include my chocolate chip cookie recipe that got me started writing made the good grief cooks best list. Who doesn't love a perfectly crisp chocolate chip cookie with a soft inside spiked with bourbon?
I love this recipe for chicken mole not only for its easy great flavor, but also for inspiring me to learn more about food photography. Hope to graduate from my iPhone to a real digital camera in 2017.
Last but not least is this porky goodness on a Hawaiian roll. It's the contrast in temperatures, textures and flavors that makes this pork slider a winner. Not surprised it made the list of best recipes.
Gather the ones you love most as often as you can. Make a giant whoopie pie together. Start by making my top 3 on the list devil dog recipe batter. But shape it into circles and fill it with this marshmallow buttercream. This is the easiest whoopie pie filling recipe to make and is just so good.

Thank you for this, I hadn't seen the mole post with the hilarious and sweet pic of Will smoking the cigar at graduation. What a guy you had! I love that Annabelle is looking at your hands. Happy New Year dear friend!

My Will was a sweet rascal and gave me a few of these grey hairs....always on the edge of the danger zone....he loved greatly, too. Best to you and all those sweet kids that surround you.

Lisa, I faithfully read, but lately haven't been good at finding much to say to anyone. I have made all three of these recipes and felt I needed to let you know how much I still enjoy your blog. Peace and joy to you and your family in the new year.
Lisa says
Comments are not necessary. I know you are here because of what we share in our hearts. Truthfully we both know there is nothing that anyone can say or do to make us feel better. The only thing that can fix us is to have our sons be alive and well, but we can't have that and so there are no words. I wish I could tell you it gets better, but it doesn't.....we just find other ways to be distracted and find joy hopefully there
