..stop and smell the cinnamon..

Sunday's are for family and food. After busting out a cake with my Mum this morning, Joelle and I came back to the house to get our cooking on! Here is the cake made by Lehann Squared

Nautical Baby Shower.

Sunday's are best spent with your sister. We decided to make all kinds of Pinterest recipes and Im happy to report none of them were flops..

Michael and I are headed to the Terrill's for dinner later so I couldn't go empty handed!

First on the list Butterscotch Oatmeal Cookies. These called for a lovely pumpkin cheese cake filling to make Whoopie Pies but sadly I am out of powdered sugar.. I doubt the cookies will make it through til tomorrow when I can get to Hannaford.. 

While doing the dishes at the sink we spotted this little beauty. It's too bad I couldn't get a better picture. 

Beautiful Blues

Next we made some good ole Chocolate Chip Cookies. I have perfected the recipe and they are the best ever..

Best Chocolate Chip Cookies:

3/4 C Softened Butter

2/3 C Brown Sugar

2/3 C Granulated Sugar

2 Eggs

2 TSP Vanilla

2 C Flour

1/2 TSP Baking Soda

1 TSP Salt

WHOLE bag of Mini Semi-Sweet Chips

Mix butter and sugars until blended. Add eggs and vanilla. Add flour, baking soda, and salt, mix well in stand mixer. Then proceed with whole bag of chocolate chips. Roll dough out onto plastic wrap, wrap it up and let chill in the fridge for an hour. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spoon onto a baking sheet with parchment. Bake for 9 minutes. 

This is from memory, after lots of practice. This cookie is always in the cookie jar in my house :)

I also made some Apple Bread to use up almost the whole bag of Cortland apples. So good! Dessert, Breakfast... Whatever, whenever!!

So Yummy with BUTTER!

Buffalo Chicken Bread! I used this recipe and just tweaked it a bit. Instead of bites I did the dough braid. Much less time consuming and so pretty! Win Win!

Buffalo Chicken Bites

May need to make two, it went fast!

AFTER!

The kitchen a disaster, laundry still not folded, and things still need to be boxed up for moving before Friday.. But we have a full belly, lots of laughs with my sister and my friends and family are healthy. It was a great Sunday and I wouldn't trade any of it for a clean house! :)

Love this crazy girl.
