Just over a year ago my husband opened his Etsy vintage shop.  We search high and low for vintage books :) One old recipe book we found was one of my favorites. Not just because the book itself was so neat, but because we found inside a handwritten letter from the 1920s and 2 recipes.  One of those recipes I am going to share today. It is DELICIOUS. Sour cream sugar cookies.  Enjoy!

1 C. Sour Cream

1/2 C. butter 

1 C. Sugar

1/2 tsp cream of tarter

1 tsp soda (mixed in sour cream)

2 eggs lightly beaten

1 tsp Vanilla

1 qt flour (or enough to make dough soft)

Sprinkle with sugar and bake in quick over. *** I'm pretty sure most of our ovens are pretty quick these days :) I think I baked in mine for about 10 minutes on 350 deg.

Recipe for Glitter Playdough

Today I'm going to share one of my very favorite recipes, although this one is a fun one, not to eat. Homemade playdough. I like to add extra fine glitter to it to make glitter playdough! The kids love it! 

Here is the recipe:
2 c. Flour
1 c. Salt
4 t. cream of tarter
2 T. cooking oil (I use olive oil, you could use any vegetable oil)
2 c. water
food coloring
extra fine glitter

Mix all dry ingredients (including extra fine glitter) in a bowl. 

(this picture you can't see the glitter, but I did add it here. I added an extra fine iridescent silver glitter)
In a pan, add water, food coloring and oil. Bring to a boil. Pour into dry ingredients and mix together.

(this is the boiled water and the dry ingredients before I mixed them.)


 Knead like bread dough (with hands-it is hot so I mix with a spoon until it cools enough to touch). The more you knead the smoother and nicer the playdough gets. Makes quite a bit (you can do a half recipe).

Here is the finished playdough. The glitter doesn't show well in the picture, but makes the playdough fun and sparkly. 

Store in a zip lock back. Can be used over and over as long as it is kept in an airtight container. Hope you enjoy!

Here is a fun recipe by Maya (ConnectionsbyMaya):

The peaches are ripe and the basil is plentiful . . . time for a "gem" that uses both! Don't miss this one! It's BEYOND DELICIOUS!!!

Fresh Peach, Brie and Basil Grilled Sandwich

4 slices whole wheat bread
2 T. butter substitute, like Smart Balance
4 oz. Brie, sliced
2 peaches, thinly sliced
8 fresh basil leaves
2 T. honey or xagave
Spread butter substitute on outsides of bread slices; turn over 2 slices and layer each slice with half of brie, peach slices and basil; drizzle with half of honey or xagave. Top with remaining bread, butter side up. Place on grill (I use a stove-top grill pan over medium low heat.) and grill 2 min. on each side or 'til lightly toasted and cheese melts. Cut in half and serve warm. HEAVENLY!
