Yummy sugar cookie tree! Yeah, Jeff got frustrated with the cookie cutters and so we just self shaped this massive sugar cookie tree. It was huge but so good! Too bad Jeff and Calder couldn't and wouldn't wait for the fun decorating or even frosting so it was eaten as is. I was a little disappointed because being the artistic person and precise cook that I am I wanted to make it look like a tree with green frosting and those yummy silver sprinkle ball things and other candies to look like ornaments. Maybe I will try again around Christmas but when the boys aren't around. I don't know though, I have a desire/craving to make my own chocolate jelly roll cake that would look like a yule log. But like the Baskin Robbins kind with ice cream instead of jelly. Oh, and I have finished another quarter and have a nice long break until the next one starts. Hence all of the extra time to do whatever I want, like cooking masterful creations of deliciousness.

Anyone want a pancake? Calder loves pancakes and I always make extra so that he can have them for snacks later. I guess I underestimated the "end of the batter" because I ended up having a pancake as large as the pan. Let's just say that it was the one Calder wanted first.

Happy Super-late Halloween!

Yeah if you can't tell Jeff and I are warrior elves and Calder is a little lion. He did have an elf costume but he didn't want to wear it when the time came to dress up.
