Lil' Aprons

You know how I love mini things? 

 Mini-cupcakes....mini- brownie bites... everything mini..even mini-aprons!  

I put these adorable mini-aprons together for the little kiddos at HOPE School.  

The aprons are pretty cute, but how about the kiddo inside the apron! 

Oh, yes...they can also double as paint shirts!  So versatile :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Double Chocolate Mint Chip Cookies!

Yummy, yum, yum!

 The second I pulled these cookies out of the oven,

 I knew they were going to be delicious. 

They turned out to be even more delicious than I expected

...especially warm and gooey right out of the oven! 

 I spotted this recipe a while ago on Cookies and Cups

 and have been thinking about it ever since.  

I mean what could be better than chocolate chips combined with Andes Mints?!  

These cookies made the perfect Christmas evening treat!

A Christmas Special

Snowflake Peppermint bark!  Yum.  Yes, it's pretty yummy stuff...and so easy to make!  If you can push microwave buttons you can make it!

Phew! Oh and Merry Christmas!

All the Christmas cookies have been baked, decorated, packaged up all pretty, delivered, and are likely being munched on as I type...well, they're at least being gobbled down by those of you who like to eat cookies for breakfast...like me :)  Merry Christmas everyone!!

Ho, Ho, Ho!

Okay, there are no Santa cookies in this post, but "Ho, Ho, Ho!" was the first Christmasy title that came to mind.  I made these festive holiday cookies for the December staff meeting at Empowering, Inc. Services.

May Your Days Be Merry and Bright!

I just shipped a whole box of holiday cookies off to Kansas City, Kansas!  I just love how biscuit cutters make those cute scalloped edges!  Too bad I'm in the middle of finals and can't just bake the days away!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving weekend! Oh and I hope it was much  warmer than the Thanksgiving we had here in Spokane!  Notice all the snow in the background of the pictures?! It got as low as 3 degrees last week...can you believe it?! Brrr!!! 

I baked up a few scrumptious pumpkin pies for the holiday.  Okay, pies aren't my forte, but I think they tasted pretty delicious!

Gobble! Gobble!

This is my first batch of cookies in a wonderful partnership I've formed with Empowering, Inc. Services. I'll be making cookies for this great organization for a number of special occasion in the future.  As I work toward my Master's of Social Work degree, I've been completing my practicum at Empowering, Inc. Services.  It's a wonderful place full of wonderful people and I've learned so much from my time there.  The proceeds from these cookies will benefit Empowering, Inc., the non-profit arm of EIS that promotes experiential play.

It's Party Time!

Okay, it's not really party time.  It's eleven o'clock on a school night and I should be going to bed...but there's something about these colorful sprinkles that makes it feel like a party! 

 P.S.  I apologize for going a little overboard on the pictures! Hehehe...it's late, please excuse all the silliness.

An Apple a Day

You're supposed to eat an apple a day to keep the doctor away, right?  These kind of apples count, I promise.
