When your two favorite loves are books and food, guess what happens?  You Read, Write and Cook;)
My young daughter loves to read books and enjoys all her free time huddled with a book. So when she read a realistic fiction by author Lisa  Schroeder called Sprinkles and Secrets,  she  decided to try out the recipe included in the book for monster cookies herself.

Her take on the books she reads is on her blog: http://zreadz.blogspot.com/ 

My take on the cookies- Delicious crunchy cookies. Yum.
