Dear Daughters: A Special Kind of Cooking

Dear Daughters,

There is a kind of cooking that takes place in a kitchen that is the best kind.

It usually happens on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon when things feel easy and slow and simple.

It becomes the perfect time to whip up something special with what you have on hand.

It may be a pan of brownies because you have a mix on hand, or a chocolate sheet cake with chocolate icing because you have Hershey's cocoa in the pantry, or it could be Cherry Dessert, one of our favorite Ranch Recipes.

  

I did this last Saturday before the Aggie game.
I baked banana bread from this simple recipe in La Pinata.

I had the ingredients on hand.

I hope you will remember this special kind of cooking.
