Cookies warm from the oven, perfectly chewy and melt-in-you-mouth yummy.
Even better is that they were made by my twelve-year-old son.
I told the kids they had to wait until after supper, but I snuck one – okay, two – myself.

In the Kitchen
Those who know me well know that I hate to cook.
But yesterday, for whatever reason, I was in the mood to make food. I baked pumpkin pecan muffins, chocolate orange muffins, brownies, pumpkin marshmallow brownies, and I even made a yummy quinoa pilaf for supper (which the kids would not touch, but more for me).
Maybe I’ll do it again sometime.
Satisfying My Sweet Tooth
Biting into one of these homemade peanut butter cups is heaven.
Thanks to a good friend, I now have a tray of them (along with 8 other scrumptious desserts) in my freezer.
The challenge will be to make them last until Christmas.
The Icing on the (Cup)Cake
I am a terrible cook.
I forget to plan meals until it’s supper time. I forget ingredients. I’ve even been known to ruin Kraft Dinner.
Maybe it’s because the end product is so sweet (I’d rather eat a cookie than a carrot any day), but I’d rather bake.
Plus, I get to decorate.
That’s why cupcakes are so much fun.
