Grandma’s Scotch Squares

December 11, 2021 · In: Recipes, Uncategorized

This is a family tradition! My grandmother has made these for all of us for years and we always have them for the holidays. I even remember making them for a care package to send to my Dad on a Navy ship during the Gulf War when I was 10 years old. They are truly special and I hope you enjoy them!

This is a doubled recipe I make on a standard half sheet pan. Score them soon after they cool from the oven. Lots of powdered sugar will make you smile!

the habits.

One day, I decided to stop letting my circumstances determine the outcomes that I wanted.

Here he was mother to four, barely sleeping at night, feeling Uncomfortable in my body and sluggish. 

Dare I say it but I felt old too.

Then I just decided that, even though I was in this stage of life, I was still going to achieve my goals and have a body that I wanted.

I changed who I was on the inside.

I started telling myself that I was vibrant and beautiful and full of energy and life.

All the sudden I started to believe it.

I ate healthier automatically.

I lost over 20 pounds.
