Last week I had the honor of traveling throughout the country for a short weekend visit to my alma mater, Brigham Young University. Every time I come back, my heart hurts a little to revive an extraordinary time in my life. To survive, it is very difficult, but these four years are equipped with the best people, professors, and atmosphere that you will find everywhere.
Going home means showing my school to my eldest son. He was there several times, but it was an official visit as a prospective student. The problem is, my child has been given the opportunity to spend his senior year in high school and go straight to college. Is college voluntary? BYU of course! Our trip was at his request when he tried to decide what he wanted to do next fall. This is a great solution, and I think I can go there and see it from this new perspective to confirm how great a real decision is.
In honor of my future Bug Fit (which only awaits his decision whether the future will be 2014 or 2015) I started this non-chocolaty cookie. For the brains of this young man, he has a confusing taste. He can't stand chocolate ... but I still love him
This cookie actually melts in your mouth from where the name came from. Oily and soft, and the delicious glaze on it makes it perfect! They are delicious, although the kids told me that next time I have to put almonds on the surface. What's with kids and sprinkles?!?
