Groundhog Recipes

Where does the time go? Here we are turning over the calendar page to February and not a thing has been done around here to prepare for Groundhog's Day. Luckily for the Soup Lady, others have not been hibernating and are all set to celebrate the holiday.

Groundhog Cookies
Try some Groundhog's Day cookies from our favorite terrycloth primate. These tasty little delights tell the whole story: "The cookies look just like burrows with the proud and majestic groundhog emerging into the sun to display his meteorological prowess." Who could resist? (I'm beginning to think that the monkey is the Martha Stewart of the terrycloth world. There's something there for every holiday - I can hardly wait until Valentine's Day rolls around to see what goes on over there.) Click here for Groundhog Cookie Recipe.

Groundhog Cake
Make a cake in the shape of a groundhog. Ok, this is really presented as a porcupine, but I think if you serve it on February 2nd, and say "Would you care for a piece of Groundhog cake?" no one will quibble about it. The cake has a few steps to it, but they are all easy and fun, too. The center of the cake is truffle-filled and looks delish (if you are the type that likes chocolate.)
