Toasted Almond Russian Tea Cakes

November 13, 2013 By Meegan 9 Comments

I am always baking cookies and pies for our family. I LOVE baking for them. BUT, THIS recipe for Toasted Almond Russian Tea Cakes is their ALL-Time favorite.

I know this recipe traditionally call for walnuts or pecans. I am now allergic to both of those nuts. So, I don’t purchase them very often. One Christmas baking season, I only had raw, sliced almonds. So, I thought I might as well give it a try. They have been the family fave ever since!!

Another thing about this cookie-I ONLY use REAL vanilla & butter. It makes all the difference in the flaky texture and buttery flavor.

I bet you want the recipe, right?

DIY Beach Striped Hamper

Recently I have been working on our master bathroom. It has been looking a little boring, so it needed some refreshing. I am happy to report she is almost done.

One of the final touches is this DIY Beach Striped Hamper.

It looks pretty good, right? Hubby’s favorite color is orange, so I compromised and used an Antique Coral.

I found the recipe when I was a new mom looking for a filling and delicious meal for my young family. I am a scratch cook, so I was a little leery at first to make this. BUT, it was perfect for our family and has been ever since.
