Almond Financier French CakeChristmas Treats:  Holiday Recipe #21

French Almond Financier Cakes are traditional French street food.  They likely originated in the financial district surrounding the Paris stock exchange; and earned their name by their resemblance to a solid gold brick.  It's crusty and light on the outside, rich and dense on the inside.  To me, it's almost like an almond pound cake.

NOVEMBER = THANKSGIVING

Why not make it a practice to express gratitude daily, not just on Thanksgiving?  What we focus on expands.  It's so easy to see all the negativity in the world, especially online. Is anyone interested in joining me for a daily gratitude photo challenge?  If we focus on the little things that we are grateful for, our whole world changes. The blog post about it and.pdf of the checklist are on mommysavers.com .
