Weekend Success

Okay so my Grasshopper cookies aren't quite as pretty but boy they sure turned out darn good... mmm....

And after these got made the request for waffles came along about brunch time...not wanting to waste the creative bend I was on regular waffles turned into banana chocolate waffles.  There was a total feast to be had by those who were hungry

And of course as my brain was already on the path... I had to try and see if I could make a sugar scrub that would match the wonderful scents from the cookies.  I had major success.  So if you want a yummy sugar scrub that smells like chocolate mint stop by my store.

Not to be stopped (well until I was tired) I decided we needed a parfait...a large one.  So here is the pistachio cool whip, oreo, ganache parfait that we will be having for dessert.

Now I am here, resting.  Ha.  Soon to have to create dinner but that is okay.  Not worried about it.With all of this the boys should be content with whatever I come up with.

Don't forget St. Patrick's Day and Ostara is coming soon and my friends over at Eight Eleven Press have been hard at work.  If you need hand made, letterpress cards for either of those then stop by and see what fun stuff they have cooked up.

Weekend Blog

So today was Friday.  Yep. Friday.  My blog isn't going to go up until Saturday morning.  Hmmm, wonder if that means I should title this yesterday or if I should write about my Saturday.  *imagine me sitting here contemplating*

Friday, was, well Friday.  Started out well enough, then the kids (my students) were crazy...Freshman all day is not something I recommend to anyone.  Had a fantastic afternoon with an amazing friend, came home and am writing a blog.  Not really hungry so thinking I'll skip dinner this evening.

Saturday will be errands day.  I need to get the oil changed, go to the post office, pay the rent and hang with a great friend for a bit.  Of course, this all needs to happen around what the kids need and what others in the house are doing. Not to mention dinner...hmmm.

Oh now I know what I want to talk about today...cookies.  Girl Scout Cookies, homemade cookies, the cookie bouquets you can buy.  All sorts of cookies.  I bought some great Girl Scout Cookies, and then found a Tagalong Parfait recipe that I may try over at one of my favoirte baking blogs, My Baking Addiction (http://www.mybakingaddiction.com/tagalong-peanut-butter-parfaits/)

Thinking it looks like it might be worth taking a gander at...anyone want to try with me?

Oh I'm also making Grasshopper Cookies (http://www.sixsistersstuff.com/2012/02/grasshopper-mint-chocolate-cake-mix.html)

These are happening either this evening or tomorrow afternoon when I get home from my errands.  I was so excited when I saw these.  Grasshopper Mint Cookies are some of my favorites.  I like them better than the Girl Scout Thin Mints I have sitting around right now...hmmm...now I'm thinking baking cookies with 8 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies.  Nah, gotta bake.  Mine are better.

Oh...random thought.  I wonder if I could make a sugar scrub that smells like the Grasshopper Mint Cookies.  Check out http://touchofmagic.etsy.com later to see what I came up witih. Okay, my brain is working in to many directions to keep this up much more.

Let me know what you are baking up this weekend or if you decide to try either of these recipes.  Both of those blogs are amazing.  If you find something else wonderful to try let me know!!!!

Enjoy your weekend and oh Sunday is writing day!  So yes I am still in that business as well.

Blessed Be,

Brigit
