Ranking #1 in nearly every "favorite cookie" poll, the chocolate chip cookie is pretty much the go-to cookie of choice for both kids and grownups alike.
Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.

It looks delicious and I will be trying it. I am teaching a class on Mary Todd Lincoln and plan to make the cake and have a little strawberry party. I notice the image that you have for young Mary Todd Lincoln is incorrect. I believe that's the image of her cousin Elizabeth Grimsley who visited Mary in Springfield.
Huh? There is no picture of Mary Todd Lincoln on this site.

This was a fairly easy cake to make, and I halved the recipe to just make one layer. We love almonds, so it was a nice change of pace from the normal cake. It also cuts very nicely (not messy). My children did not fall in love with it, but I will be making it again for my adult friends. We had fun making it to honor Lincoln on President's Day!
