Monster Cookies

June 22, 2016 by Emily 2 Comments

Monster cookies are the cookies that I am required to bring to every party, BBQ, camping trip, and family gathering. These cookies are dangerously delicious and addicting. For those of you who are bakers, BEWARE! You will likely be making these for the rest of your lives!!! Not that that’s a bad thing; these monster cookies are amazing, and I don’t think you’ll ever get tired of baking (or eating) them. These are the cookie of all cookies, the ultimate combination of chocolate, oatmeal, and peanut butter.

Wedding Cake

Wedding cake practice. My sister is getting married in less than two weeks!!! I’m doing the wedding cake and the meal….and am the maid of honor (matron of honor, technically…sounds so old). Don’t worry, I have help with the food! I’m not that crazy! We’re doing a taco bar, lots of prep work, but easy the day of the wedding. Although when I do a final wedding post covering the food and the cake, I might be singing a different tune….

Book Club Star Pies

April 29, 2016 by Emily 3 Comments

Book club is one of my favorite things. I look forward to it every month. I’d always wanted to be in a book club and a few years back one of my friends invited a group of girls to join her bookclub. Best thing ever! This month we read The Sweetne ss of Forgetting by Kristin Harmel. And it’s probably been one of my favorite books. We seems to gravitate toward historical fiction, particularly World War II era books.

The Sweetness of Forgetting is about a woman named Hope who runs her family’s bakery in Cape Cod. Her grandmother has Alzheimer’s Disease and in a moment of clarity sends Hope on a journey to uncover the truth about her past. The book follows Hope as she travels to Paris and discovers how her grandmother survived World War II. I won’t risk giving away anymore of the storyline and spoiling the book, and that’s about as simple of a summary as I can give you….
