Have I Disappeared???

Nope!!  As if the move wasn't enough of a distraction, I'm also pregnant!!!  We finally conceived via IVF, so all our free time from September until now has been totally devoted to getting and staying pregnant.  Throw-in a last minute move across the country and there was no time for any type of fun, house-wife things.  

But, I might be able to redeem myself- Matt's co-workers at Stanford are having a "cookie festival" for the entire athletic department on Monday.  Since Matt doesn't bake, I've stepped up to the plate and will be making:

• Fudge
• Peppermint Bark
• Pine Bark
• Knock-You-Naked Brownies (best caramel brownies ever)
• Peppermint Brownies (easiest spin on brownies ever and super delicious, too)
• Frosted Cinnamon Apple Bars
• Chocolate Toffee Crunch Bars

Yes- I'm making 7 different desserts.  Impressed?? You should be :)  Today I have to make the shopping list to make sure I have enough eggs and butter and what-not.  And yes- recipes to come, but only after I've tested them and know that they're good.    

Baking Day

Today is baking day!!  Tomorrow we are going to Disney World, and I thought we'd bring along some homemade treats for snacks and breakfasts.  It's more economical and healthier... and I get a good excuse to spend a day in the kitchen :)  Here's what we're making today:

Sour Cream Banana Bread (2 loaves)

Apple Bread (2 loaves)

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Snickerdoodles

Right now the banana bread is in the oven and I'm going and I'm going to do some laundry.
