  1. Hey Cays! I didn't realize you had this blog! These cookies sound delicious; I love poppyseed - especially almond and lemon. Think the glaze would work with lemon?!

    Hilarious we both keyed into the free DVDs from Kelloggs. We're severely limited in our media collection since we left it all in Utah. Nothin' wrong with snagging a few free flicks - especially those two!

  2. It might be good with lemon, try it! My friend Cindy and I think the almond make these cookies though, but let me know how they turn out.
