Happy Birthday, Future Father George!

Haha... I realized that when I typed in this title it looked like I was wishing a priest happy birthday, or someone who's waiting on the birth of a baby. This man is neither, George is Andrew's father and my future father-in-law! He's turning 51 (I think) today, so to celebrate I'm baking him a little something sweet for him and the boys to enjoy. Sorry Marg, this isn't diabetic-friendly, but if you'd like to place an order through the bakery, I can make you your very own! Could be for the Civic Holiday, or something!

This recipe is a slight variation on the ones I sell through my bakery. I can't be giving away all my secrets!!!

1/3 c brown sugar
1/3 c shortening
1 tsp vanilla
