In the vein of cook the cookbook… I saw an ad for this book – To Die For – A Cookbook of Gavestone Recipes – Rosie Grant.
Yes, you guessed it, this book is about recipes on gravestones – say what? Yup it’s a thing, so now i’m stuck on what would I put on my Gravestone? What is my goto recipe…
This was fun and a little stressful – i didn’t have quick oats, so i had to use old fashioned… only the last cookie i put on the sheet looked like the picture. Not sure how i would change the recipe, but it’s all still yummy! Hubby said he really like them!
