CookieD-oh

Not the most creative title in the world, but what are you going to do? It fits. Anyhoo, made some flower and butterfly decorated sugar cookies for an event at work. I also made some chocolate chunk cookies, but they weren’t as pretty. I made a set with more flower designs for my Mom’s retirement, but I didn’t take pictures of those. I’m basically the worst blogger ever.  I thought they were cute. I like butterflies and flowers, but who doesn’t? And who doesn’t like chocolate chunk cookies? Well, that’s all for now. Enjoy!

We recently moved into an old farmhouse and we thought it would be fun to go retro with the kitchen decor. We inherited a 1940's kitchen cabinet from Mr. D-oh's Grandma May when she passed a few years back. We love it and it reminds us of Grandma, so why not decorate the kitchen around it? Craig’s List has been good to us thus far. I found an old chrome and Formica table and chairs (in yellow and green Moonglo) as well as a remarkable old stove. I’m still hunting for a refrigerator, but I’m in no hurry. Anyhoo, I made a chocolate cake for a family get-together. Mint chocolate frosting with roses. Added some blue because I read somewhere a long time ago that you should use at least three colors when decorating. So red, blue, and green for this one. I don’t know if that’s really a thing, but it stuck with me. And here’s a bit of the kitchen with the amazing stove. It’s purported to be a 1948 Western Holly. Works like a champ and kind of looks like we have a laund...

So we finally moved to another house. Not that that’s why I haven’t blogged in almost two years, but whatever. 😜 Vanilla almond cupcakes with raspberry filling and raspberry frosting for a bridal shower. I also brought brownies, but I posted That recipe a few years ago. Anywho, that’s all for now. I’ll post pictures of my sweet “new” kitchen soon. Enjoy! CookieD-oh
