Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow… in fact, let’s go ahead and bake up a blizzard in the kitchen! Holiday time just wouldn’t be the same without Snowballs (also called Mexican Wedding Cake or Russian Tea Cakes). These cookies are a fabulous treat. This recipe came from my Aunt’s kitchen where I …

A client and friend recently put me on to opening up a Medjool date and replacing the pit with a walnut…wow, a nutritious and delicious treat! So quick and easy too.
