Garden Veggie Cookies!

These are fun because they're not made with vegetables, but they look like vegetables.



I made these for my neighbors, who have been bringing me vegetables from their garden for the past few weeks. (I need to take some to my great aunt, too.  She gave us lots of veggies earlier in the summer.)

For the bell peppers, I squished an apple cutter to make it skinnier.  The tomatoes are Wilton pumpkins from the 101 cutters tub.  The cucumbers started life as footballs and I squished the dough to remove the points prior to baking.  The eggplants are either eggplants or pears.  The cutter wasn't labeled, so it's hard to say.  The cherry tomatoes are circles and the chili peppers are chili peppers. :-)

Anyhoo, I was very happy with the colors on these.  I was worried the cucumbers were too dark, but upon closer inspection, they were just about right:


And I really couldn't have been happier with the red bell peppers:


(Is it sad that I took pictures of my produce?  Do I need to get a life?  Be honest.)

So that's all for today.  The neighbors liked the cookies, especially the watermelons. :-/

Oh well, you win some...


Enjoy!

    Next year we'll do a garden...I cleared the space this summer, but by the time I finished it was too late to plant.

      I know, right? These should count toward daily servings of veggies! :-)

Turtle Birthday Cake

Ha!  Fooled you!  It's not a chocolate and caramel and pecan birthday cake. (Although that would be lovely, in my opinion.)  It's a cake shaped like a turtle!! Because that's what the boy wanted. I was actually quite happy with how it turned out. I got the idea off of Pinterest, of course. The design as a whole is a mash-up of two different cakes that I saw. I wanted to do more on the base cake, but I was literally finishing up the border as we walked out the door. My time management wasn't the best with this one. The square cake is two giant layers of lemon cake, torted, with two layers of home-made lemon curd filling and one layer of buttercream filling. It was gigantic. It stood almost 5 1/2 inches high (not including the turtle on top) and was incredible heavy. I should have weighed it. The turtle is a 6" round cake, vanilla-almond with buttercream filling. We served it at the party and then I took the rest to work on Monday. It was pretty good. I...

Cross Country Cookies

Image
 Hey, long time no blog! Life just keeps on happening, and that's the only excuse I have. The kids are growing up rapidly. The boy is in high school, and the girl is in middle school. Both of them run cross country, so I (finally) got around to making cookies for them. The school logo and some general cross-country themed cookies, along with a saying from their coach. And just so this isn't the world's shortest blog post, here's a picture of my vintage kitchen: It's a weird mix of 40's and 50's, but as I'm working off of Craig's List for my décor, it's the best I can do.  Well, that's all for now.  Enjoy!

Happy Belated Independence Day Cookies!

Image
So we've experienced a busy week.  The power was out for a few days...on the week we decided to play hookey from work...good times.  After the power came back on we took the kids to an amusement park, which was a hugely popular decision.  In the ensuing days we went to an historical farm, grilled out in the back yard, treated Daddy's sunburn, went to a parade, made popcorn and watched Goonies...it's been a fun-filled week. All that excitement meant that I was not anywhere near the computer for most of the week.  Which means I didn't post my 4th of July cookies.  So, without further ado, here they are! Please don't judge me for my picture quality.  I arranged them nicely and took some pictures, but they didn't turn out.  Lighting again. Some close-ups: Please note the America is not chubby. (Design above shamelessly lifted from LilaLoa  ) Disco Dust!!!! And that's all for now.  I sent most of these coo...
