I’m so excited to be a guest here at High Heels & Grills.

Let me introduce myself. I’m Wanda Ann from Memories by the Mile. At my

blog I share yummy recipes, which are mostly family favorites, but all delicious. I

also share about the many miles I travel with my best friend, who happens to be my amazing husband. This year we have been featuring a different state called Tuesday Trivia that has been lots of fun. I hope you’ll come by and say hi.

Today I’m sharing with you a favorite recipe of ours, Chocolate Almond Joy Cookies. This recipe is great for the coming holiday season because it makes plenty for company or neighborhood gift plates. Their moist, chocolaty, nutty and oh so yummy.
