#StuffedZucchiniBlossomsRecipe

Good morning everyone good morning we’re doing some holiday cooking today I’m going to make a couple of recipes that I usually this is like a salad that I often make for Christmas dinner and I’m also going to make some zucchini blossoms because don’t ask me how in the middle of December these

Were at my market and whenever I see them fresh especially when they have like the cute little zucchini on the end it’s like you got to make them they are there so I’m going to make stuffed zucchini blossoms which is also an amazing um appetizer for whenever you

Can get zucchini blossoms it’s a little hard to plan um and violet is going to make her very famous Ginger snacks yes but I’m sorry but she’s not going to give you the recipe I’m just going to tell you right now not yet we’re just

Going to say not yet um keeping this one in the family yeah yeah so um wanted to start the show I know a lot of you watched the full Memorial um suzan celebration of life that we posted it is at suzan summers.com if you haven’t seen it we’re posting clips and

Highlights all week on Instagram and Facebook um but the entire presentation uh we wanted to share with you guys so I am so tender and um from reading all of your comments it’s been so sweet um thank you am um it’s been so sweet to

Read all of your notes um a lot of you have dm’d me and a lot of you have um left tributes at suzan summers.com which we really appreciate we read all of them um but um thank you Shirlene um I felt like in in putting together that Memorial it was like okay

You’ve had like it felt like a thesis to me cuz it’s like you’ve had this amazing lifetime of learning and training and now like now you have to do your thesis and put it in a final presentation and it’s so hard to do because she was so

Expansive and taught all of us so much um so to try to you know not keep it into you know hours long presentation which she’s worthy of and there already talks about doing something more in depth but for our family and our friends and for our extended family we just

Wanted to put together something that would give you the highlights of so many of the things that we did that she did in her life that were so impactful on so many people and of course the um the most lasting and the biggest imprint that she left was was was that love that

She gave to to all of us and I think it’s why you all tuned in over all of these years and it’s why you felt that connection for her you know I mean yeah like we we love the the the olive oil but but you connected with her just

Because of that Dynamic and emotional impact that she had on all of us and I and I say this all the time but it really she treated you guys the same as she treated us like it was really she loved being a celebrity she loved meeting people that that she had never

Met before she was so open and um happy to hear your stories and so many of you stopped her when you would see her or saw her in a restaurant would say you know you really saved my life with bioidentical hormones or you helped me

Lose weight or you know I had um an issue with mold and you saved my family or so or or just you made me laugh or you made me you know you turned me on to organic skincare or there’s so many things that she did you know her her

Lecturing and um all the books that she wrote so it is a beautiful there’s so much to celebrate and I think having you know the people who are closest to her in her family to sort of speak throughout the stages of her life and highlight to them what an impact she had

Um so we are we are all filled with emotion um hearing you guys react to that so thank you for that um beautiful response and again if you haven’t seen the entire Memorial it is at suzan summers.com and we’ll be posting um highlights throughout the week but today um we are

Going to we’re going to just try we’re coming in for a soft Landing you know I said to my family I’m like I’m not um usually I I in the past to tend to work myself like to the Bone and then like once the deadline hits and I would sort

Of fall off that cliff and um sometimes get sick or sometimes you know just get depress whatever that is and I’m like I’m coming in for soft Landing so we are just rolling into the holidays and um you know what I’m just taking the stress off this year and it’s amazing how much

You can get it’s amazing how much you can get done in a very short amount of time because I really just started on Friday or Saturday and I feel like I’m I’m I’m close to being done now it’s now it’s the fun part now it’s the cooking

And I think Violet especially has been so important in reminding me that it’s like it’s not all about getting stuff done and getting the list done like this is the time that you get together with friends and family and you celebrate and you hang out so um so that’s what we’re

Doing yeah you have thoughts you want to share Violet no just like extending gratitude again I think um what I’ve been saying is one of the benefits of her being a public person is that everyone’s been mourning with us so having that extra support I mean it’s

Hard enough to have a loss but having that extra support something a lot of people don’t get so all your messages and um words of encouragement and support are really really appreciate it and I know my whole family and my grandfather really appreciates it too absolutely yeah all right so let’s get

Cooking shall we this um sure I’m going to have um Violet do I flip it I’ll help you with it honey okay so you’re going to flip the cameras yep sorry you’re going to look at nothing for a second and then I’m going to pop this

Out here we go okay did that work yeah okay terrific so if you want to come this way MH okay so I’m going to start by making you a salad look at this incredible lettuce that I found um I found it at Italy and when I find this

It’s a pink redico and it’s just so that’s so beautiful and then this is frie which is a baby escroll and also I love the taste but I also love the color um so I’m just going to quickly put together a little salad for you I pulled

Out my my China wow yeah you know it’s it’s Christmas so these are already washed I’m just going to do we want to talk about the deal the gift cards oh yeah you guys gift cards um so if you need last minute GI this way yep if you need last minute gifts we

Here I’m going to do one as a little liner and this is where you can just decorate a little plate I think I’m going to use the Meer lemon and the vanilla fig this I’m not going to do this as a it’s going to be too horsey I love those pink lettuces there

Isect people are saying any update on wellis air do you know what that means yes I do um so the the the new the the container that that Bruce has been waiting for just cleared Customs so I know he is working on getting you know

As soon as he gets them in um they are going to try to ship those out I know he’s desperately trying to make things before the holiday but he um you’ll have to check with the wellis Air customer service about when they’re coming in they had an issue with Customs which you

Know you know is the case when shipping internationally but they Rush everything and the good news is that it has cleared so um I will make sure that Bruce gets you guys an update Francesca pointed out how the lettuce matches the plates well Francesca do you think that

Was planned by my very perfectionistic mother look how pretty that is look at that yeah someone said I’m Peggy Garden said I’m giving one to my 23-year-old daughter who has fallen in love with liquid oxygen the stuff and sexy leg renew and Joint use for me nice nice okay so here’s what

I’m going to dress this with I’m going to use the Myer lemon olive oil these are these beautiful infused olive oils and um balsamics that Suzanne sourced and fell in love with and I’m like oh my God I have never tasted anything as good as this they they really are

Spectacularly good um the Meer lemon if you haven’t tried any I would recommend trying starting with Myer lemon because it’s just that good yeah and it’s subtle yeah it’s but it has it just gives everything just like a little brightness yum and they’re they’re just they’re just incredibly high quality products this is

That beautiful the vanilla fig has like a really earthy nutty flavor I just love it so oh but you know what well we’ll see okay I am going to I’m going to put the vinegar on at the at the end so this is this unbelievably delicious gorgona

I’m showing you the label cuz everyone always asks gorgona crat crato crato and it is in in Italy they call it cuko which means spoon because it is that delicious with a spoon so I’m going to put just a little bit of this on here everyone gets a little

Present I love the Meer lemon as a dipping sauce someone said yes absolutely Myer lemon and pomegranate Shell’s fave well um and here’s the thing I was going to use Myer lemon and pomegranate on this but that was when I was going to have pomegranate um seeds

On the top but instead I decided to use these cranberries and with the Cranberries I think the vanilla fig is going to be a little better so I have these gorgeous um pistachios so I’m just going to chop these up here takes the skin off of themes it a

Little Franchesca did you notice that oh what the nuts also match yeah but it’s also just a delicious nut is okay and then a couple you are a Pisano Caroline that is true what’s a Pano it’s Italian you are making me so hungry okay so a couple little

Cranberries so I love like the combination of the sweet and salty in this it’s great now I of course would probably add some crispy Pudo as well cuz I just love crispy Pudo on everything sorry I get my vanilla fig okay here we go Okay you can see this is so thick and beautiful you really just need a tiny drizzle on the top unless you are chamelia summers you make a soup yeah chamelia this is a 12 year AG balsamic and then it’s infused with these beautiful many different flavor profiles and it’s truly spectacular you cannot

Miss on this for if you need a Hostess gift or if you are somebody who you know doesn’t know how to cook this will turn you into a magically great cook okay a little they’re loving the presentation a thank you that’s so sweet okay so I’m going to move this over

Here what a beautiful holiday salad right look at that and crispy pido okay so Violet let’s go over here I’m going to just show all the other these are the other flavors of I put a few of them out here the basil the basil is also really good with

The vanila Fig I’m going to say the herb de prant has just a touch of that lavender and rosemary in it it’s I mean lavender and um is it teron which one it’s beautiful yes um the Tuscan has Rosemary basil and garlic the blood orange is gorgeous gorgeous I love this

Paired with the black cherry this is is um the traditional balsamic so if you don’t want a flavor infused in there just the most perfect incredible balsamic these are awesome for dips if you want to make bread dips if you want to make crud dips they turn any salad

Into something spectacular might be my favorite of all Miss pomegranate absolutely delicious this is the black cherry which they’re they’re similar in flavor profile so if you’re someone who likes a little sweet with your Savory um spectacular and then we don’t want you to forget about these

Great um I love those Violet eats these plain it’s she is an odd child this is the provant sea salt rub so this one has that one’s my favorite actually um the Celtic Sea salt garlic fennel lavender black pepper margam Teragon mustard onion the tusin so you can see how these

Layer really nicely together um you know suzan loved her Celtic Sea salt oregano garlic basil thyme black pepper Sage Rosemary and red pepper um there’s a comma missing Jill will you make a note of that to the manufacturer when we repent um tusin and the

Southwest oh my gosh if you need to make like a a pork roast or this one is spectacular it turn it makes a like a Carne aada a you can make beautiful flavor profiles with this it has garlic cumin the Celtic Sea Salt of course Chili Pepper oregano Sage time it’s

They’re wonderful so again we’re trying to give you the flavor profiles if you are not a great cook you can do this and it’s automatic a lot of people are asking about the pattern of your China oh okay so you guys special can you hand

Me my drink yeah Special um you can hear the whole story on this so up here got it there we go when Bruce and I right before we were married we took a trip to Santa New Mexico and we were at um we walked into a this cute little antique store and I

Saw this set of China in there and I was like not I mean this is not what you typically think you’re going to pick up in Santa Fe New Mexico this is like it is you can see on the back it’s Theodore havind and L Mo and it says patent

Applied for so what that does is authenticates how old it is because it’s before havland was even patented so this is a it’s called I think it’s called gold rose pattern and I literally found 10 PL 10 full place settings with a few of the extra pieces that brought it up

To like almost 12 and it has this the dinner plate the salad plate it also has a bread plate so when you stack them all on top of each other it just looks like this beautiful flower yeah I love it I absolutely love it and then I started

Collecting pieces over the years to go with it so okay now I’m going to quickly make for you these um zucchini blossoms so I I usually kind of free form it but this is served this is from my book served um if you haven’t picked it up

You got to get it it is it’s this is this is not at suzan summers.com it’s at Carolin summers.com it’s a hot one um but this is the zucchini the stuffed zucchini blossoms they’re actually pretty easy to make the hardest thing is finding the zucchini flowers so I’m

Going to show you here how we’re going to stuff them and twist them and then you just dip them in beaten egg and a little flour and you cook them in oil and then you serve them on some blistered tomatoes so let’s do this Violet okay um I got this cute ass

Container of ricotta cheese look at that isn’t that cute that’s so cute of course you can get any rotta get a whole milk one person holding phone too loud sorry oh it’s just proxity pleas put phone closer to Caroline it’s just proximity it’s just the way these things

Work okay so here’s some Caroline are all your salad re recipes in your served book not all of them um but if you go to suzan summers.com and click on explore in the navigation bar and then click on recipes a lot I’ve posted all the recipes that we’ve ever

Done with the infusio there and there are so many good recipes in there okay so this is the Ricotta and I’m only doing a few look at that yeah I don’t need all looks very fresa it’s so good rot is one of my favorite things I absolutely love it you

Do I’ve noticed that oh so delicious okay so normally you add ricotta with Parmesan and also um some mozzarella turns out I didn’t have mozzarella today but that’s okay the the main cheese that you need is the ricotta but the mozzarella just gives it a little um a

Little extra pull okay I’m going to add a little parsley I’m going to add some salt you are so adorable Caroline sweet I’m going to add some freshly Cracked Pepper really um if you’re using pregrated pepper it really does make a difference you want it freshly Cracked pregrated Pepper is quite mistake sorry

I’m sorry for the camera work one of them is turned around on Facebook and the other one’s the other way on Instagram and like my grandmother I don’t know lefts and rights so it’s it’s really well it’s hard it’s messing with my sense of okay so I’m just going to combine

This then um I’m going to show you how we can make a homemade little pastry bag M I love a pastry bag okay so if you don’t have a pastry bag all you need to do is get a plastic bag like this my husband got these compostable ones I

Love that okay so you’re just going to put the corner down glass and then fold the top over like this okay my mom taught me this when I was little and then you’re going to fill it if you have frosting or filling whatever whatever you might need to pipe make it a little

Easier okay and we’re going to take and roll this just just scooch it down okay and then you’re going to twist off the top okay now we have our little pastry bag so all you need to do is clip off the bottom wait we have a quick

Question um I want to buy several served books and several small size vinegrets as New Year’s 2024 gifts please let me know the best way to do this if that makes sense um it does there’re going to be two separate purchases so the served books you will get at Carolin

Summers.com and the other books the other gifts you’ll get at suzan summers.com does that make and they come in mini sets the vinegrets right oh um I I am not Jill said that we were short on those I’m not sure if we have the minis but check with customer service and they

Will definitely let you know okay so here’s what we’re going to do now we have a lot of people who want you to be their personal chef oh that’s so sweet okay so here’s what you’re going to do with these flowers you’re just just going to carefully reach

Inside I mean how gorgeous is that okay you want to remove this piston okay makes more room for the filling so we are going to take and it’s okay it’s so pretty so K so pretty it’s okay if you’re leaves tear because you can just kind of twist

Them together over the top but these are so fresh they’re really pliable and really cooperating beautifully not always do they come out like this a lot of times the leaves tear especially if they get moist at the at the tips what are you saying Violet nothing oh okay just a camera

Thing you’re doing a great job don’t mind the cinematographer you’re doing a great job okay and this last one really where do you buy the zucchini flowers well that’s what I saying it’s it’s something that when I see them at a farmers market um it’s usually in the summer

Or I found these at Italy they just happen to be there so or if you grow zucchini so okay so here we go we have now our beautiful flowers that are all opened and ready now we’re going to take this little homemade pastry bag would you look at

That and you just want to pipe a you know pretty generous amount in there wow and and there are a couple ways that you can you can fold them up like this oh how cute look at that sweet little package and you can see I started this it looks I mean it’s incredibly

Special thing to serve but you know whenever you take a recipe that seems complicated and you break it down it is just it’s how many steps do you want to take and do you have access to the good ingredients I really had no interest in making zucchini blossoms and I’m like I

Have to look how perfect these are they’re so cute this is like a beautiful present from nature and what I love about them is that it’s like having ravioli without the pasta so instead you get these delicate petals which become the way to you know

In it’s it’s the way to hold the filling the ricotta filling this is the same filling that my grandmother made for her homemade ravioli it’s the exact same filling and you get that incredible flavor no carbs just a little dust in of flour Violet you are so lucky to have

Such a tremendous teacher don’t I know it a don’t I know it she teaches me too but she taught me everything about cooking you have a natural instinct for cooking yeah but you taught me thank you okay so these are now ready to be battered and I’m going to set them over here

And now I’m just going to take this I can do it here sure little bit of egg okay so I’m just going to get this a little Floy them over here so you guys can see let me make some room made your bolog yesterday delicious oh I’m going to make

Some tonight and someone else said they were making something else from your book also someone asked can you buy served on Amazon no it is only available from the publisher um because it’s a self-published book I can only order it through the publisher and they print it

And send it to you directly which is why I’m not able to sign them or um but it’s an easy website to remember cuz it’s just your name Carolin summers.com okay so here’s what I’m going to do now take this all right come on in Violet

We’re just going to dip it in the egg that’s slimy she needs a little more beading and then you can dip it in the flow here you can also use gluten-free flour if you prefer they both work do you sell your aprons someone asked no but I should huh yeah they’re

Great I also forgot I used to like salt and pepper my my egg and flour so give this a little bit more my Nanie and mom used to make zucchini flowers like a bread stuffing in them and would pan fry them yes that’s coming next okay so nice easy little

Coating a light dusting of flower you should do a pretend cooking show weekly she kind of does on her stories I know but I was thinking about um doing something you know that’s a little more structured I know a lot of you would just like to have the ideas

For dinners in advance that we could cook together um and someone said OMG in my next life I want to be your daughter it’s so good but you know the trick you get to be my daughter but my daughter can’t eat this yeah exactly but I can eat I can eat so much

We all have obstacles so this Viet is allergic to eggs and dairy every now and then you can eat a little Dairy now yeah I eat I eat a little Dairy okay my stomach is not doing great this morning but you had yourself a

Little gut I had a gut renew I swear the other day I was on live I forget which day it was and I was saying like oh my stomach’s not feeling great and I drank my gut renew I don’t know if I’m even allowed to say this but I swear I was

Fine the rest of the day oh really it’s crazy how it feels it always feels so soothing oh my God okay so um you can carry me to um okay so I’m going to blister the tomatoes so I’m going to get the Heat going on this this is going to be the

Oil sorry I have to get my lighter um this is going to be the oil for the there we go um for the zucchini blossoms you can use olive oil but olive oil is not great at high heat because it smokes but I often just use it anyway

This pan takes a bit to heat up so I’m going to let that heat um or you can use a neutral oil like safflower oil I actually love peanut oil for frying avocado oil is good at high temperature um so up to you what you want to use I

Think today I’m going to use olive oil for the tomatoes because it’s a quick thing and I just like to flavor of it and I’m going to use peanut oil for frying so this that is so true when my stomach hurts I will drink a gut renew and my

Stomach feels better Len cow Missy said Violet’s got her what kind did you make this morning I made chocolate banana well that’s always a winner in my book they said your dishes and pans are beautiful too thank you how is Bruce not 500 lb Bruce is a moderate guy sort of when

It comes to make sure your tomatoes are dry before you blister them or they will cause you all kinds of you’ll get a lot of spray so I’m just going to do you know that this one’s still on too right I do it’s because it’s coated cast iron it

Needs to turn the fans on oh thank you I disconnected this SM arm so it’s not as big of an issue as it used to be all right so these are blistering as you can see it happens very quickly Okay while that’s happening I’m going to heat up the frying oil and again I decided to use peanut for this just so that it doesn’t smoke so much you just want like a decent coating on the bottom of the pan I’m going to let that heat up super fast

Um get my my display CR plate Here you see how they’re just starting to decompos a bit that’s what you want um So if you’ve heard you’ve heard the term sauté it actually means jump sauté means jump so we’re just pulling just pull the pan back to you there we go okay so those have just broken down enough I’m going to put them on my little s PL here get them ready For look at that okay love to watch you cook Caroline you make it look so easy thank you put these here okay when this is hot we’re going to add the um so why don’t we Violet just tell everyone one more time about the gift cards so we have last minute gift card

If you buy a $100 gift card you get a $50 gift card free and if you buy a $50 gift card you get a $25 gift card free at suzan summers.com that is the deal that’s the deal um okay so I am going to start adding these see how my oil

Is oil feels good what’s the best cookware to use um I I really believe in investing in cookware because um I I will tell you that it if you buy professional quality cooker you’ll buy it once and it’ll last your whole life this isad and I got this when

We got married 30 something years ago um I’ve never had to replace it it’s older than I am this is L crus which is a coated cast iron and I love the way this Cooks it it conducts heat um a little differently but I love it so I’m I’m

Really happy with both of them they want to see Moren on the videos so do we but Moren lives up north oh yeah Marine um you mean on the tribute video no they want to see her in the shows oh I’ll have to make some I’ll

Have to make trip up nor yeah okay so you can see this is starting to get brown and you just want these to get golden I’m going to put the heat down just a little bit so what it does does is it gets that filling just warm and gooey so

Pretty Suzanne would always say you know cooking is it is about all the senses she would say the the eye the ey eats first I love that making your dish beautiful is part of what makes you attracted to wanting to eat it I agree with that my least favorite phrase is

Don’t judge a book by its cover oh you like the I enjoy reading a book more when I enjoy its cover okay so I’m going to get the little garnish ready for this okay these are almost done people are asking about bunny do you want to

Tell them where bunny is bun bunny with her mother yeah camia doesn’t have to be in the office this week so she gets to have little buns with her and we really miss her but can you say the brand of the pans again I didn’t hear what you said sure and I’ll I’ll

Gosh what are the flower stuff with ricotta yes rot and Parmesan Parmesan and usually a little mozzarella absolutely delicious you need a little wine with that someone said Lori Viet and I went um when we went to get the ingredients yesterday e we sat at the little wine bar and had I

This it’s so delicate you know people say what does it taste like you don’t taste The Petal it just you taste the filling but it has that just that beautiful little edge of that little fried I’m so I’m I’m super happy right now call this a job

What when I was in Italy at cooking class we made these and they were just delicious oh they’re so good my son swam with Danny go Martin at Sarah High School oh really we love great we got to see him he came to the memorial up in Hillsboro was so nice

He’s great I have a hard time figuring out how to use my loyalty points there’s a place um on the site on your own account where it says redeem rewards so if you have earned points that you can get prizes um make sure you do that and that’s where you

Can also apply your loyalty points to your purchases which is great because you the more you obviously the more you spend the more you save the town’s people are going crazy I can’t take it yum I’m so hungry right now I wish you could come here cuz I have I’m getting hungry watching

You and this beautiful salad yeah this salad is beautiful look at this I love fris with the cookie and the this gorgeous pink so look at the you’re getting some salt you’re getting some sweet you’re getting some creamy you’re getting some texture how many recipes in the cookbook they’re

Asking make that look at that it’s so good there are about 50 recipes in the cookbook and it’s it’s really um it’s it’s the recipes I make over and over and over again when I was starting with my first book you know I did about 600 recipes with Suzanne and all the

Books that you guys have so we collaborated on so many of those and I’ve always wanted to do my own book and of course my book isn’t following sumers siiz guidelines so I can make everything um and it was so overwhelming to think about what I could make what I could put

In the first book and I wanted really I wanted pictures for everything thing so I just wrote down 50 things and I’m like well we definitely want these to be in there and that’s what the first book is so it’s a lot of my recipes that you

Guys have seen me wake over and over and over again my next book that I’ve just started working on is going to be my holiday book and I’m going to do holiday menus throughout the year I love that I didn’t know that yeah what a great idea

It’s a big project because you really have to shoot it when things are in season like right now for Christmas I should be shooting but just finished a thesis so yeah um but you know you want your Christmas tree there and you want the flowers of the season and you want

The foods of the Season cuz that is how the best cooks cook with what is in season we can get ingredients from a lot of places in the world now so it makes us able to have bigger variety um this salad is incredible okay Violet is going to make her Ginger Snaps now

Yeah yeah it shouldn’t be too hard okay okay here we go you want to do do you want to move it over here or you want to do it over there okay it’s already over here okay well let me get you some light cuz oh well there’s lettuce over there yeah let

Me just get you a little light let me get rid of these Tomatoes okay these are okay can you tell them the story of your Ginger are not gluten cream so I had a second grade teacher who was first she was a science teacher and she was my

Sister’s science teacher when my sister was little and my sister came home one day from school with this recipe for ginger oh it was can you put your hair up ony it was actually yeah can you make the day before an occasion The Ginger Snaps absolutely yes

You can freeze the dough for a while but chamelia has always liked cooking but I like loved cooking when I was little so I think I just kind of stole the recipe and made them remember my mom saying like oh let’s make ginger SAU I didn’t really know what that was so

Anyway then we made them and they were the best things ever so this is the the gluten dairy it is not an allergy friendly Violet does make a an allergy friendly one but and that one’s from uh Aon McKenna’s cookbook yeah cuz she’s the master of gluten-free Dairy so you just make these

Little you have to refrigerate theough and then you make little balls I’m making a smaller size because I have to make a lot for people I made some of these for Jet’s office and when they’re bite size you can make more and then everyone gets an abundant amount there

Is nothing like getting a warm Ginger Snap from Violet it is really to me she made some for Jeff’s office and then there was one little plate that was left it was quite a Hardy plate I must say I’m going to say it is now gone yeah I thoroughly enjoyed it they

They’re kind of special everyone kind of freaks out they really are so maybe someday or you know a serf book maybe you will allow them in the holiday book is it great I think Ginger Snaps are really great for um nurse Susan Elizabeth said she wants you to wash

Your hands out after touching your hair nurse Susan I can I can them I had that my hair is really clean Tracy said I missed it where is the Ginger Snap recipe recipe please recipe please you guys I told you have to wait maybe maybe it’ll be in the sered

Holiday B yeah the Caroline Summers holiday what is she rolling the dough in this is just cane sugar granulated sugar oh and I forgot I actually am supposed to flatten these a little bit because last time they yeah but that’s after you roll them no actually what I do what I

Did last time cuz these when they’re smaller sometimes they don’t flatten as much and I like not too flat of a cookie but like you know not too chunky so I flatten them a little bit Susan El Elizabeth said I’m sorry it’s the nurse in

Me no she’s right so there’s no need to be sorry nurses are angels it’s true but I love Ginger Snaps for the holidays because is the Ginger Snap recipe being held hostage H come on it’s Christmas Cheryl I haven’t even started writing the holiday book

Yet but um what was I going to say I love this flavor for Christmas time because I feel like there are certain I’ll only make them around Christmas time like I can’t make these in the summer or anything cuz fall no I don’t even make them oh I love them for fall

Yeah late fall but like early fall is a Snicker doodle to me Carolyn giat you may watch the entire memorial service at suzan summers.com I love the way Suzanne quickly washed her hands sometimes without soap after touching meat hey getting getting her to wash them at all is it was me off screen

Saying you have to wash your hands we’re very similar grandmother it’s true we’re both very messy she like tidy but messy um she’s dipping them in granulated sugar um sandre is eggree too so she said she needs the recipe sandre the gluten-free eggree one that Violet makes

That one is from Aon McKenna so that is um she’s she’s making the fully loaded ones today and these the great thing about these is that if you put the convection on they bake especially at this small size they cook really fast and the trick is

I’ll show you when we take them out but the trick is you take them out when they’ve just puffed up so you don’t take them out when they start to crack necessarily maybe you get like a crack or too but when they just puffed up then

You let them sit on the cookie sheet and bake for a little longer that is the key to any good cookie recipe you have to take them out and let them cook um Don Alice would like to know when growbag will be back in stock Jill

Do you have an answer for her my Jill I am I am Italian Caroline that’s why I spelled your name that’s why I know how to pronounce your name um thank you for those of you who are making comments about the memorial service and crying and be I know it’s

So so beautiful how long are the balsamics good unopened um unopened I mean I I can’t imagine they would ever go go bad opened um I’ve never had one go bad the oil is a little more temperamental because oil will go rancid but those balsamics have been aged so long you

Just want to put them on your counter you they don’t need to go in a refrigerator um so you know the answer is a long time but I don’t have an exact amount because it depends on all the factors of where you live and how much humidity there is and um

The bottom line is the balsamics because they’re already aged 12 years they they really don’t go bad oh this is 400 uh it’s it’s always 25° to cool so I always add 25° cuz I had it calibrated bake them for just five minutes oh just five minutes yeah

Because of the of the small size yeah and because so someone give us a timer five minutes okay oh well that’s going to be exactly noon I can keep rolling when is the vanilla cream oh you guys grow back is coming in this week oh Kathy said the memorial was

Precious I now have closure oh I’m happy I’m you know I think that’s exactly why we wanted to share everything with you guys because we know you need closure I was talking about it Violet you did so great at the service and Daisy’s voice wow yeah

Beautiful um I I was talking about with actually don’t think I’ll ever really have closure about it because I still really feel her with me and I’m just never going to stop thinking about her I had an amazing dream this morning and it was a visit for sure and

She in my dream she had just passed and we were like dealing with her body and so we were all in shock in my dream and then she started moving her hands and started like I’m like you guys she’s alive and then she like turned and looked at me with this huge

Smile and it was me realizing that in the dream she was telling me that as soon as she died she was born I love in a new world yes and then I the followup to that beautiful dream was she saw Allan and she looked at him

And she jumped up and wrapped her legs around him and wrapped her arms around him and gave him this huge hug and I thought oh that’s so beautiful she’s so it was so sweet it was so sweet so that’s what I woke up to this morning is that reminder

That in my belief in death is a rebirth I don’t I’m not sure we ever really die I mean I guess our bodies to show like I still feel zy so presently so I just don’t really feel like she’s gone she’s just not here well I also think for someone

Who for someone who was such a force in this life of course she will be a force as agre in in her spirit the spirit I believe livs on um Patty thinks she should butter the pan but know but they don’t need to be buttered do they

They do oh does take these off and then but the pan yeah I don’t think it’s going to matter it does actually cuz the butter also makes it a little Cris on the bottom oh interesting ready you have two more minutes um while she’s rolling those out

I’m just going to remind you about the oops the light’s not over here anymore but you’ll get the idea the beautiful infusio products we have all of these beautiful infused olive oils and these unbelievably great balsamics and the sea salt rubs and these all can just make you such a

Better cook or if you are a great cook you are so going to appreciate these beautiful flavor profiles it makes any salad just a work of art truly um today I used the Meer lemon with the vanilla fig great combination I love the blood orange with the pomegranate or the black

Cherry the Tuscan herb for a dip if you want to use like the Tuscan herb or the Herb to pant and then put a little of the sea salt rub in there and then use any one of these I I can’t tell you I mean they’re all the combinations are so

Oh my gosh I wish you guys could smell this the memorial was not at our home it was at the Stone Eagle Club but it looks this the view is very similar to her home and then the second Memorial was up north in her hometown and it was at the Hillsboro Racket

Club and it was beautiful they were both beautiful yeah Elizabeth Jones said best deal ever it is Elizabeth it is the the most incredible deal because it is it’s free money my doctor told me to use less toxic ingredient which is your least scented shampoo what would you say violet well

They’re all they’re all non-toxic yeah they’re all made with essential oils so probably the wild orange vanilla is going to have the least you you’re going to notice the least fragrance in that but they’re all made with just essential oils there’s no no artificial fragrance in anything
