Baking with McCormick (#Giveaway)
I am so ashamed to say that I am so late getting this post up that it’s not even funny! the emails just kept getting buried until I forgot about it 
…..BUT, I still wanted you guys to have to have the opportunity to win some great McCormick stuff that I am posting it now!
Halloween is one of my absolute favorite holidays! Normally it is Christmas cookies that we are making but my nieces were in town and it was to cold to spend the day at the park so, we made cookies! I wasn’t able to get any pics of the complete project because the kids were just going nuts with frosting and sprinkles.
We used McCormick food coloring to color the frosting black, candy corn to make cat faces. My Mother-in-Law is always so happy when I bring her McCormick Black Food Coloring. It’s so hard to find around here for some reason (so she tells me) and for all of the baking she does, it’s a pain in the butt to make it. I think she is good for a few holidays now!
#Recipe: Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies
The other day while wandering around on Twitter, I received a tweet from the DELICIOUS Tweeps at @HersheysKisses.
I don’ t know how or why they tweeted to me but I always love when one of my favorite Brands finds me before I find them! I used to go to Hershey Park every year for my birthday when I lived in Pennsylvania. I miss that so much now that I am in Ohio! Anyway…..They sent me this amazing cookie recipe and I had to pass it along. How can you not love cookies and chocolate at that! Give these babies a try and tell them (and me!) what you think!

Pumpkin Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
Wilton goes back to the 3rd grade
Since my son’s birthday is in July, he misses out on celebrating it at school. The teachers usually let them pick any day they want during the year to be there “school birthday”. This yea Royal decided he wanted it to be on the last day of school. As if this time of year is not crazy enough lol
I decided to just do cupcakes. It was the least mess and hassle for the teacher and I of course am a considerate mom 
The only thing about this is I hate to frost them and I am still in the learning stages with pastry bag. I took a few classes for it this year so while I am not horrible at it, there is still plenty of room for improvement.
I didn’t want to do anything to time consuming but I also wanted them to be cute. I had a bunch or Wilton Cupcake Wraps left over from a previous project so I figured I would just use those up. I also knew that I wanted to fill the cupcakes just for a little fun. I had never filled a cupcake before so I was a little nervous but it turned out being very simple.
