ever close we can get to it

If you’ve been keeping up with us lately you already know that we had a freak storm of tornadic proportions a couple of days ago. It left us and our neighborhood without power and a tree limb injected straight into our roof. Seriously it was crazy and you can read all about it in yesterday’s excruciating long post, a small tornado and 10 things to do without power. What can I say I was bored without power while we were seeking shelter in the natural science and history museum. But now with power on it’s time to return to normal, or how ever close we can get to it.

Needless to say this crazy week has royally screwed up my schedule and I am left with everything I was supposed to do earlier this week, including shooting a commercial photo shoot, crammed into today and tomorrow. Oh and did I mention we are leaving for Colorado on Saturday for our first family vacay? Someone send the anxiety meds quick Maggie Beauty!

Anyway, today I’m sharing a recipe that our family LOVES and hopefully I will be able to make some before we leave. This is also the recipe that I send overseas to my dear friends fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. To all of you that have soldiers over seas this recipe takes forever to spoil and is perfect to ship! Slightly sweet and perfect for coffee Maggie Beauty, these homemade biscotti are a must!
