just the smell of it alone....

NOTHING LIKE THE SMELL OF FRESH BAKED COOKIES - AM LOVING IT!!! OH THE WONDERS of having a new BAKING OVEN!!!OATMEAL CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES - could rival those of MRS. FIELDS - REALLY!!!
Over the weekend, we TRADED in our old oven for a brand new one... long overdue, but we just never got around to it.... and it sure did revitalized marketchow's penchant for baking... so far the last few nites we have been baking up a storm... breaking in the new oven... good for the oven but bad for the diet - am sure... but heck, who cares.... loving them!

Pumpkin Treats

With Halloween just looming around the corner, I have been dropping hints, almost everyday, about what I miss most about this HOLIDAY - more than the costumes, more than the festivities, I miss Just Desserts' Pumpkin Cookies & Cakes.... and probably because he is soooo tired of hearing me go on and on about it, David actually made some PUMKIN treats for everyone... and for two consecutive days, too!!!
Yesterday he made us all Pumpkin Flats (pictured above)... simple and healthy with sprinklings of Cranraisins (who invents these stuff?)... and tonight his variation of the Pumpkin Cookies (Pictured Below)... some topped with white chocolates... some with cherry preserves... so you see, it helps to drop hints... okay, whine about these kind of things...
Okie Dokie... now that I have satisfied my Pumpkin Cookies desires - bring on the REAL HALLOWEEN!!!!
