For the month of February, I'm joining in a
Random Act of Kindness Challenge, hosted by
the lovely Manu! The idea is that you do something
kind for someone else....a stranger or someone you know.
It can be a gift of time, money or some kind of pay-it-forward.
Some of the best RAK's don't cost a thing....just look for
an opportunity to encourage someone else.

Then, each Friday post about it and link to her blog.
Hopefully by posting about it, we encourage each other
to think past ourselves and spread a little love.

Yesterday, I baked cookies to give away.
I made up a new recipe, Orange White Chocolate,
and they turned out very tasty!
I sent half of them to work with The Mister and I took the
other have with me to an auction to pass out to people.

Nice that she's continuing the tradition. And those cookies sound, and look, delicious!
ReplyDeleteYes..very nice! I met Manu with my challenge last year...so fun that we've
Deletekept in contact on our blogs...then it expanded to instagram and facebook!
The cookies were really good....just my chocolate chip dough with 1/2 cup
zest and white chips..and a splash of lemon extract. Yum. Very bright and
citrus-y.
Sweet plate, too.

DeleteI was really hoping I could get through just one season of RAK's without someone saying that it was vain and that I was expecting a reward. Neither are true. I'm not going to go into a long explanation this year...you can go back to the previous two years to see how I explained that it is only to spread love and encourage others to do it, too. No rewards, no bragging.
DeleteSorry, I put my foot in it didn't I?
DeleteYes. And it's insulting to me that you would come to my blog and tell me I'm committing one of God's seven deadly sins by telling people how I made cookies for people.
DeleteI said I'm sorry. It's obvious that we have conflicting views on the meaning of life, I won't make that mistake again I can assure you.
DeleteHave you forgotten that you participated last year?
DeleteNo, but I felt as guilty as hell writing about it.
DeleteOh those cookies look delicious. I love the "stack". My hubby is my RAK this week. I joined the Challenge with Manu.
ReplyDeleteI just saw your post with that cute photo. :) Loved your RAK...what a great idea!
DeleteI think you mad a lot of people happy!
ReplyDeleteWas that a Freudian slip? Lol....yes, most happy.....a few mad.
DeleteHi Betsy - I thought of you as I walked into the road, so a mother could get her toddler and baby into her car - no room on the pavement for all of us! I'm sure those biscuits are excellent ... love white chocolate and orange adds that extra zwoomph .. cheers and have a great weekend - Hilary
ReplyDeleteSee..it really is the little things, isn't it? So much anger and horrible things happening in this world. A little kindness can go a long way!
DeleteYes, that orange zest packed a punch. I put a lot in them and I loved the results....very bright!
Hi Betsy!
ReplyDeleteOh those cookies do look so delicious - Such a lovely gift to give them away! People must have been happily surprised - both at your husband's work, and them that were lucky to meet you as you were giving them out. Orange zest must give a lovely taste ... I feel like baking already!
Wishing you & your family a joyful weekend,
Nina
Thank you, Nina. I appreciate you stopping by and leaving a comment! Yes, the cookies were
Deleteappreciated and a fun surprise....very fun to do. :)
Those cookies look great. Definitely something I shouldn't have. It's been a long time since anyone baked me sugar-free cookies. :)
ReplyDeleteNow, who in the world would take the time to bake you sugar free cookies? ;)
DeleteOnly the best of the best. :)
