Hold fast your dreams. Push aside the naysayers. Don't let anything stand in the way of your dreams. All great advice. Advice that is not easy to follow especially when the naysayer is someone you love. My dream? To go to pastry school. This week I realized that someone I thought supported me in this dream does not. Not only doesn't support me but tried to crush my happiness by calling my goal selfish. Selfish to have a goal for myself when I have kids to raise. I believe that you can have goals AND raise kids. It's important to let kids see that there can be a balance and that it is never too late to realize your dreams and see them through. Oh well, just a little bump in the road. It will all work out but in the meantime I will keep baking. When life gives you lemons make blueberry-lemon cookies! I hope you enjoy!
Bluberry-Lemon Cookies
Makes about 2 dozen
2 c. all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 stick unsalted butter
1 c. sugar
1 egg yolk
1/4 c. whole milk
2 tsp. lemon zest
1 c. blueberries (if frozen, thaw and drain)
In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add egg and beat. Add milk and lemon zest. Stir the dry ingredients into the butter mixture. Gently fold in the blueberries. Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes.
