Bad Dog!!!

Mollie is such a michevious little dog! I am not used to having to put food out of reach of the animals, because Sophie would have never dreamed of snatching even the most tempting foods off the table or counter. Not so with Miss Mollie! I turned my back for two seconds and she managed to wolf down two of my homemade chocolate chip cookies.

"It was totally worth it!!"

I can't believe I've never posted about these cookies! They are an all-time family favorite and my go-to cookie recipe. They have instant pudding mix added to the batter, which makes them the ultimate soft cookie. It's also not a very fussy recipe - none of this mixing the dry and wet ingredients seperately! I should have known to double this recipe in order to feed both boys!

Sophie's Birthday Cake!

Today we celebrated Sophie's birthday - she's three years old! We think. To celebrate, I made her this super-easy birthday cake. I think she knew it was for her, because she wouldn't get out of the kitchen. Her cake was made with flour (I used whole wheat), peanut butter, and shredded carrots, and for the cake I used neufchatel cheese, some milk, and a little flour. I purchased some cake decorating tips for a cake I'm planning on making later this week (stay tuned!), so I practiced making letters and some flowers with the icing.

Right out of the oven!

The finished product!

Sophie waiting not-so-patiently for us to sing to her. Maybe that was a little over the top...
