So needless to say, when I got the chance to do some Sheldon centered Big Bang Theory Cookies I jumped at the chance!!!! So here they are in all their glory!

The "Go To" Dough

Hình ảnh
Every baker has a recipe that is their "Go To." Heck I have several depending on the occasion. For cookies, for pie, for chicken, etc. Now I can safely say I have a "Go To" recipe for dough. Over the past week I have been on a baking kick and all of it was dough related. Now, this isn't really that uncommon for me. Back when I live in Ga., friends were always over at the house eating up cinnamon rolls, bread, coffee cakes, cakes, etc. Thing is I had a different recipe for everything. So if I wanted to make say Pizza and Pretzels one evening and have cinnamon rolls ready for the next morning and bread loaves for lunch the next day I had to make 4 different batches of dough. For some not a big deal thanks to the Bread Machine. For me, big deal since I believe bread machines are the Devil! LOL But 4 batches of dough in 1 evening can press even the best home baker. Now, not for more than anything because of time restraints. Dough takes time, even if you can multitas

I would love to post a lot about this but I am B E A T, beat. Been a long day and I still have more to do. So, will leave you with this... Happy Father's Day!!!! (Everything is hand made.)  

Brownies In A Jar

Hình ảnh
Father's Day is quickly approaching and well, everyone needs to do something for Dad on this day. Sadly, dad's are usually overlooked, even on their day. Sure, give dad a tie, that is the fall back. No one seems to make a big deal out of the day like we do for mothers and frankly...SHAME ON YOU!!!! Yup, that's right, bad bad kid! Daddy's deserve just as much as mommy does! (And I will never admit I just said that.) So, why not give dad the day off and bake something kick butt for him that he can take with him when he goes fishing, hunting, golfing or just out to the pool to nap. Brownies in a Jar are the perfect treat! I mean come on. Anything in a jar rocks, just look at moonshine. >.> It is self contained, no need to worry about a bag breaking, bugs getting in it and dad can even drop it in the mud as he is wandering to his stand in the middle of no where without worry of anything crappy getting all over his snack! And well, we are talking about brownies! Now, I

Parental Permission

Well, one of my children is at that age of wanting to go out and do things. No problem there, other than the usual mommy doesn't want her baby to grow up. Okay, no problem but I am never provided all the information needed. Weeks have gone on of squabbling with details. Where, when, with who. You know, that stuff we all grew up with? So, I got tired of it and came up with this. The Agenda Request/Permission Form. It has to be filled out, fully and presented to us fully before we will even consider it. Yeah, it might seem a bit over board but frankly I don't give a damn, lol. So, sharing this with other parents who are tired of fighting with their kids for details. Fill it out, or don't bother asking. ^_~

Lemon Bars With A Twist

Hình ảnh
Well, anyone that is very close to me knows that there is a flavor for desserts for me that actually ranks above Dark Chocolate. (And no, it isn't bacon, yet. ^_~) What flavor is that? Lemon! That's right, that pucker me up fruit has to be, by far, my favorite flavor when it comes to sweets. Come on, I grew up during the Sour Revolution with Lock Jaws and more. Sour was never sour enough and Lemon is the Queen is this. I remember hot Georgia Summers sitting on my parents back porch swing sipping Lemonade from a certain southern chicken place, hehe. We ate lemon pie and put lemons in our pitchers of sweet tea. It was everywhere. Something about that tartness just took away, even if for only a split second, the hell that was a hot and muggy Ga summer. (Seriously, if you have never felt one, count yourself lucky. Hell is 20 degree coolers.) My favorite Lemony treat growing up was the Lemon Bar. You know what I am talking about, those served up at bake sales Lemon Bars drowned in c

I don't even know where to begin with this....This past week has been just a blur and sitting now, looking back, I am actually kind of sad it is over. It was beyond busy with Memorial Day Cookie Sets, KV Portfolio Party Cookie Paws, Aquatic Center days for the two oldest back to back, canning cupcakes and of course the most important thing for me this week - Jack Jack's Birthday. That is when things really started to blur, especially Wednesday night....I remember wrapping up around 3 am, I think and then waking up at 6 Thursday and it just didn't stop until the kids passed out that evening. I am so glad for my camera - photo and video setting. I was able to get so much this time that I hadn't been able to before and I am very very grateful for that. I have been blankly staring at my computer today and got bupkis on what exactly to put here, so I am basically just rambling to fill in some space and then will post details. LOL Okay, onto that!
