For a while now at Martha Stewart’s website, a cookie of the day feature has been running. I’m certainly no stranger to baking cookies, and I have enough recipes in my to-do list to keep me busy for months. Of course, that doesn’t stop me from adding more to that list. These are a couple of my recent favorites.

Spring is apparently in the air, at least as far as retailers go. While I am more of a fall/winter girl, there’s something about the first signs of spring that are uncontrollably exciting. Just a few days ago, the ground here was uncharacteristically covered with snow, but today I found myself looking at new spring items at some of my favorite online stores.
Sur la Table’s Easter Egg Platter is just too cute. If not a uni-tasker, then certainly a uni-seasoner, this platter would be perfect for serving those springtime cut-out cookies. Check out the matching plates, too.
Also from Sur la Table, these Spring Ruffle Ceramics would add a little interest to the table. The yellow and green bowls and plates are great for mixing colors.
Williams Sonoma’s Nostalgic Easter Platter may just be my favorite piece I’ve seen this Easter season. The bunnies are inspired by Easter cards from the 1920s. There are also matching plates and ramekins.

I have a very strong love for potatoes. I’ll eat them just about any way you can think of, that is except for tater tots. I never could like them, although that may be somehow connected to bad memories of school lunches. Anyway, of the many ways I love potatoes, potato soup is pretty high on the list.
A friend gave me his recipe for this potato soup. While his recipe has regular pork sausage, I decided to use andouille, a spicy Cajun sausage. Quinn lived in Louisiana for a few years and really came to love the food there. He introduced me to this sausage, and I immediately loved it.
We really liked this soup. It was a simple, quick meal that was very filling. With a couple of pieces of cheese toast, a bowl of this soup certainly makes a satisfying meal.
