Well it is garden club time again and so I needed to come up with a new recipe using tomatoes. I tried this out last week and Steve says it is a keeper. We even liked the leftovers, cold straight out of the refrigerator. Great on these hot summer days.

Easter Bunny Cheeseball
I saw a ready made bunny shaped cheeseball and decided I could come up with something to mimic it. My normal recipe is very orange and I wanted my bunny to be white. This is what I did, it was a nice change and everyone liked it.

Blueberry Zucchini Bread
It is zucchini time!!!
Cherry Cookies
1 pinch salt
1 t. baking powder
½ c. butter (softened)
1 c. sugar
1 large egg
1 t. vanilla
1 c. pitted quartered or halved cherries
In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, salt and baking powder.
In the mixing bowl beat butter and sugar until creamy approximately 2 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and beat to combine. Add the flour mixture in 2 parts, beating on low to almost combine, then add the quartered or halved cherries and beat on low to combine, don't over beat.
Cover the bowl and chill 1 hour in the fridge.
Pre-heat oven to 350. Spray a cookie sheet. Using a medium sized cookie scoop drop cookies onto cookie sheet, approximately 1 inch apart and bake for 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted chocolate if desired before serving. Enjoy!
Store the baked cookies in an airtight container for 2 to 3 days.
They will keep for 1 to 2 months in the freezer.
You can use thawed and drained frozen pitted cherries or the same amount of maraschino cherries, but they will be a lot sweeter so cut back the sugar.
