FEATURED TREASURE
helen, our treasured diva
helen's melting moments
minnesota grandma
 

What a sweetie!  Met Helen in the early 80’s…when both of us had a twinkle in our eye…and you couldn’t be sure of our next move!  Well, nothing’s changed, Helen!

She is a true ”Minnesota Mom”.  If you’re lucky enough to be a guest at her place ”up north”…you will hear the tapping of her wine glass and her saying with great conviction, ”You can’t get a meal like this in a restaurant!”  And, you can’t.

Helen spends her summers in northern Minnesota and leaves for sunshine during the winter months.  The first time I saw this cookie I was not impressed, but it was love at first bite! 

Thank you, Helen.
