Karina Jones is a real-life ranch wife in the Nebraska Sandhills and one of the most highly sought-after speakers in the cattle industry nationwide!
I sure do love those Christmas cookies, sugar! Welcome back to Ranch Raised.
Did you actually think I would skate through this holiday season without talking about Christmas cookies?!?! Is there anything more flattering than receiving something homemade by someone. I mean truly, in my world it is the ultimate gift to give and receive. My love language is totally “acts of service.”
So bust out the butter. Bring on the sugar and flour. Sing to your spices and make some Christmas cookie magic! Besides making fun Christmas goodie trays, there is always another gathering and party to go to this time of year. So it is wise to have your holiday favorites ready to whip up.
Maybe you just want a simple treat to sit down with at the end of a long day and cozy up to watch a movie with your family! Or maybe you want to get some goodies put away in the freezer to enjoy later in the month or during the long winter.
I’ve gotta go! I’ve got cookies to whip up! Oh my! So many options to make and let’s be honest, have any of us met a cookie we didn’t like, especially during the holidays?!?!
Candy, fudge or cut out sugar cookies? Peanut clusters, no bake or buckeyes? Chocolate crinkles or thumbprint cookies? Monster cookies or the good ole fashioned chocolate chip seems to always be crowd favorites! You better tune in tomorrow to see what goodies I’ve been whipping up. I feel another recipe coming on.
Don’t miss an episode of Ranch Raised on the Your Ag Network app or website.
Karina ranches with her husband, Marty, and 4 children near Broken Bow, NE. She grew up in western NE, with roots also in southwest SD. The cattle industry and raising kids is her passion.
Watching the cattle industry go the path that it has gone, she could no longer sit quietly at home checking cows, fixing fence, and doing all the everyday tasks wondering when some else was going to make it all better. As she became more active and outspoken on industry issues, she was asked to join the R-CALF USA staff in September 2020 as the Checkoff Petition Campaign manager. That position transcended into her former role as full time Field Director for R-CALF USA.
Listen to Ranch Raised on a Your Ag Network hometown station or www.youragnetwork.com where she talks about her daily life on the Jones Ranch.
Cattle producers are her people. She will meet you at the county fair, at the sale barn, or anywhere the dusty trail leads.
