Spice Drop Cookies

Last year about this time, I wrote about my favorite Christmas cookie.  The Four Seasons’ Chocolate Ginger Cookies are so good I couldn’t get them off my mind.  Until I tried these Spice Drop Cookies. A month (or more) ago, I was in Little Rock visiting my brother and his family.  While I was there, I was fortunate enough to…

Cheese Straws

One of the most shocking entries on my calendar occurred on August 8th.  The entry at the top of the day read: make cheese straws/freeze for Christmas. I’m not sure what moonshine I was sippin’ when I added this event to my calendar, but rest assured August 8th came and went sans cheese straws. In my defense, I actually remember…

Four Seasons Chocolate Ginger Cookies

Last year, Mia took the two middle Littles and I to the Teddy Bear Christmas Tea at the Four Seasons.  It was very swank and festive, but the best part about the event was scarfing savoring the Chocolate Ginger Cookies.  I made quite a fuss over these cookies. In fact, I’m a tad embarrassed how I completely ignored Santa, raced…

Meet Kristin

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here.

I'm on a mission to love my neighbors. I put an ordinary picnic table in my front yard, painted it turquoise and invited neighbors, friends, and even strangers to hang out and do life together at the Turquoise Table®.

I hope you'll join us!
