\u00a0I would sit at her kitchen table and watch her intently as she moved methodically from one cupboard, bowl and ingredient to the next. \u00a0She never wore an apron, choosing instead to wear a housedress and pink fuzzy slippers. \u00a0She made the best pumpkin and apple pies, delicious tarts, Christmas shortbread and my childhood favourite, peanut butter squares (the ones with the multicoloured marshmallows).<\/p>\n<p>When I was young I watched, but as I grew older I was allowed to measure, pour, stir and bake. \u00a0I learned about the importance of order in cooking and the chemistry of certain ingredients. \u00a0I loved every minute.<\/p>\n<p>While I still make some of those recipes, I have modified them and changed them to add more variety and greater appeal. \u00a0This recipe is one of those modifications, Lime Shortbread Cookies with Cream Cheese Glaze. \u00a0A simple base, with some delicious additions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a
