Hi Everyone
I wanted to update you all with Cookieland and what's happening at this time.
Since my Husband Tim's passing in April I've been living each day not making any big decisions but inching my way to what life means for me. I also had a bit of a health scare resulting with surgery but I'm healing and I'm so grateful for a positive outcome. Life is such a mystery for me right now and I'm working very hard to focus on being the best I can be in the moment. I've been dabbling with a bit of baking... but only because so many people have been helping me out... and baking is how I give thanks.
Looking back I realize how much of my energy and time was given to baking and markets and I'm probably not going to go back to that same routine.

I’ve always used baking and cooking as a therapy for stress. Our brains need a distraction that calms the soul and occupies it with goodness and pleasure. Grieving the death of a loved one is all consuming and very personal and it’s important to allow the feelings to flow. I find myself unable to focus on the magnitude of what is ahead so I’m taking each day at a time.
I’m so grateful for the love of so many that have reached out to me…..with a card, a call, a message , delivery of food, a visit and mowing my lawn (my incredible neighbor).
Yesterday I wanted to bake something new….I haven’t baked in many months. I was gifted a “biscotti “with an enclosed recipe and so I gathered all the ingredients (took a few trips to store).
I wanted to make a “softer” version so instead of calling it Biscotti (twice baked) my daughter named it “sconotti”…yes it’s a cross between a scone and a biscotti. They have crisp edges and a coarse but softer interior. The sweetness of cranberries and cherries and the nutty almonds are a perfect balance.
Y’all remember my video of Rancho Gordo dried beans…..I’m making their baby limas (my fav) and the final dish will be Lima bean soup with acini de pepi pasta (tiny bits).
This is a huge accomplishment for me. I think I took my skills for granted in the past but I’m now realizing how difficult it is to focus on the details of a recipe and the process of getting to the final product.
There is always joy and love around us, we just need to be open and ready to embrace it. I hope you find joy and love each day in your own journey of life.

Hi Everyone
As you all know Cookieland has been closed since fall 2025. Tim and I have been on a horrifying journey with his health. He had a 17 hour surgery for esophageal cancer on Jan 14, 2026 and spent 102 days trying to recover. I lost the “love of my life” yesterday April 28 . Tim was the artist behind the scenes and was with me at every Sunday Artisan Market. My family and I are devastated with our loss.
