One Fine Cookie Morning

Needed to kill a hour with Baby bear, no directions needed, just made some cookies!

However I DID learn to feed them a full meal prior to frosting to help with the sugar high, LOL



Mixed up some color

Laid out some tools

Made a nice little mess

TA-Da!!!!

JoJo Approved!

Ooh This is what I'll be making saturday!

http://sixsistersstuff.blogspot.com/2011/06/mini-snickers-caramel-cheesecakes.html

2 c. chopped Snickers Bars
2 1/2 c. graham cracker crumbs
2 Tbl. granulated sugar
5 Tbl. melted butter
2 8oz packages softened cream cheese
1 c. granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 Tbl. pure vanilla
3 Tbl. caramel sauce

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Place chopped Snickers Bars into a bowl, set aside for now. Place graham cracker crumbs, sugar and melted butter into a mixing bowl to combine. Spoon a couple spoonfuls of crumbs into each section of the muffin pan and press down and up the sides. Bake for 5-6 minutes or just until browned. Remove from oven.
In a stand or electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add in eggs and vanilla until well combined, scraping sides of bowl with a rubber spatula. Beat in caramel sauce until well combined. Pour about 1/4 c. of cheesecake mixture over each baked crust then top evenly with chopped Snickers. Bake for 23-26 minutes or until cheesecake edges are just starting to brown and centers are nearly set. Remove and let cool completely. While still warm, loosen all edges with a plastic knife to make for easier removal from pan. Refrigerate once cooled then top with caramel sauce and whipped cream to serve!

MMMM, MMMM Good!

Lookey what I found!

So silly but before i had JoJo I was pretty allergic to avocado. My throat wouldnt swell up, nor would I get hives but I would itch and scratch to the point of bruising myself!
Miraculously during pregnancy I found that my reaction to these beloved fruits (yes its a fruit) had subsided. Now I'm a avocado nut.....sans scratching!

Ingredients

• Canola oil for frying
• 1/4 cup flour
• About 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
• 2 large eggs, beaten to blend
• 1 1/4 cups panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
• 2 firm-ripe medium avocados, pitted, peeled, and sliced into 1/2-in. wedges
• 1. Preheat oven to 200°. In a medium saucepan, heat 1 1/2 in. oil until it registers 375° on a deep-fry thermometer.
• 2. Meanwhile, mix flour with 1/4 tsp. salt in a shallow plate. Put eggs and panko in separate shallow plates. Dip avocado in flour, shaking off excess. Dip in egg, then panko to coat. Set on 2 plates in a single layer.
• 3. Fry a quarter of avocado slices at a time until deep golden, 30 to 60 seconds. Transfer slices to a plate lined with paper towels. Keep warm in oven while cooking remaining avocados. Sprinkle with salt to taste.
