Hello friends,<\/p>\n

It has been far too long since my last post, and I sincerely apologize. For those of you who don\u2019t know, my husband\u2019s stepfather, Bill was diagnosed with a serious illness in November. To say the situation has been heartbreaking is a total understatement. Bill has been like a father-figure to me since I was 14 years old. He has been to every special occasion in my life from prom, to our wedding, the birth of our three children, and every single special event in between. The more I think of it, whenever Chris and I have needed a helping hand, Chris\u2019 parents Julia and Bill have always shown up at the front door with their suitcases, cooler of Coke Zeros :), love, and support. They can\u2019t ever truly know how much they mean to Chris and me, and what a special place they hold in my heart. <\/p>\n

Now that some time has past since Bill\u2019s diagnosis, I\u2019m feeling a little better. He is really doing remarkably well, and it turns out my mother-in-law, Julia is one hell of a patient advocate\/nurse! Now my worry has officially shifted from Bill to Julia, with all she is having to manage! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Considering all of this worry, I hope you guys can understand why I took a little time away from the kitchen. I just needed to catch my breath, say some prayers, and get my heart put back together.<\/p>\n

Speaking of hearts (on a lighter note)!!!<\/p>\n

I developed a Madeleine recipe last week and think you guys are going to L O V E it! Incase you haven\u2019t tried Madeleines, they are like mini pound cakes that are considered fancy cookies. Very buttery, very tender, and not too sweet. You know what? Now that I think about it, Madeleines are like the snobby cousin to the Twinkie (without the mystery cream). They can be baked in any Madeleine pan or even small muffin pan. For Valentine\u2019s Day, I used a heart-shaped Madeleine pan which I easily found on Amazon. Oh, and I\u2019m not adding affiliate links to this post because well, it\u2019s totally inappropriate. You know how to use Amazon!!<\/p>\n

While things have been a little heavy over the last few months, I feel so incredibly thankful. Not only do I have Bill and Julia, but I also have so much more family (on both sides) that I love so dearly. I also feel so thankful for all of you. For this Valentine\u2019s Day, I want you to know that each of you matter so much to me, and you are so loved. Thanks for being part of our baking family!<\/p>\n

Love,<\/p>\n

Emily M.<\/p>\n
