Why does a three day weekend seem to go by just as fast as a normal two day weekend? Perhaps time really does fly by when you’re having fun or maybe it flies by when you’re busy or maybe it flies by when you’re not at work. (My husband points out that having fun may be defined as simply not being at work.) I think Labor Day weekend should be a four day weekend from now on because then it might actually feel like a three day weekend. 😉 In between visiting our respective families, I did some baking this …

Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars
I’m going to try not to obsess over these chocolate chip cookie bars. Well, it’s a plan anyway. I made these chocolate chip cookie bars for my best friend’s son’s 1st birthday party last weekend. I was crazy about them from the moment they came out of the oven. I was so anxious to cut into them. I must have asked my husband at least ten times if they were cool enough to dive into (and still be pretty enough to photograph). Seriously, all bets are off if I’m just making a batch for us… they just need to be cool enough …
Double Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Tomorrow marks five months to Christmas. Crazy talk, right? I watched a week of Christmas movies on the Hallmark channel (their Christmas in July celebration). The stores are bringing out their Fall collections and the fashion bloggers are already showing off their Fall fashion trends. So I guess you could say that all that has put me in the mood for baking cookies, my typical Christmastime activity. Plus, I had to make cookies for my annual family trip to Lake George, NY. It’s tradition so if I didn’t show up with something I might have had a riot on my hands. …
Vanilla Butter Cookies
What better way to say thank you to someone than with cookies and coffee? The other day I mentioned to you that my best friend and her family were coming up for a visit and that my parents were also coming over at some point to help build some shelves for my shoe closet. Well, things didn’t go exactly as I had planned. (I can hear my husband say that that’s why I shouldn’t plan so much.) My friend’s daughter came down with the flu so we postponed their visit. Now I’ve got a lot of leftover Fudgy Brownies. I know, that’s a real problem. 😉 Thank goodness …
No-Bake Cookies and Cream Bars
Oreos and marshmallows. These are two of my favorite things on earth. Now imagine making a no-bake bar that combines them together… it’s a reality. I’m a bit of a snob when it comes to marshmallows. Marshmallows come in three delicious sizes. Usually called miniature, original, and jumbo (depending on your brand). I only like the Kraft Jet-Puffed miniature sized ones. My husband isn’t especially picky and likes all the sizes, but only the mini ones in cocoa. The jumbo marshmallows are awesome because of their sheer ginormous size, but they’re a bit too sticky for my taste. Hmm… By that I …
