No.359: Chocolate Cookie

These are a Christmas favourite.  We were so lucky to be given some this year, as I didn't make any.

No.356: Christmas Stockings

We love stockings at Bungalow'56.  Santa obviously knows what our girls like.

No.345: Reindeer Cookies

These were made for our family by our neighbours.  They were so cute it was hard to eat them.  

No.327: Cake Tower

The second cake.  We called it the leaning cake tower of Pisa.  We took the rest of the pictures from a different angle. There is cake carnage everywhere.

No.326: Buttercream

With two birthdays within days of each other, there has been a lot of this made at Bungalow'56 lately.

No.325: Class Cupcakes

Mommy why didn't you bring any cupcakes to my class today?  

Oh Honey, I just forgot.  

Can I bring them in tomorrow?

.... OK.  

This parenting moment brought to you by Bungalow'56.

No.315: Birthday Cake

No.309: Farmer's Market

A Saturday afternoon at the Farmer's Market.  We needed to pick up our favourite Sambosa's and hummus from the Cairo booth, plus stop for a little hot chocolate and a homemade cookie.

No.301: Halloween Baking

Halloween Cupcakes.  The whole catastrophe is blogged about here.

No.293: Rice Krispie Treats

Skittle Rice Krispie Squares.  My youngest had missed out on a class presentation due to Piano lessons, and the presenter had brought rice krispie treats for the class, with all of these cool candies baked in.  She left before they were served, so after the lesson we made some together.  Skittles in rice krispie squares are surprisinly good.

No.290: Turkish Delight

The girls brought home a Purdy's chocolate order form for Christmas.  They saw the Turkish delights and wanted to know what they were.  The Agronomist bought this for them, and we all had a piece. It was surprisingly good.  Kind of like a fresh jube jube covered in chocolate.

No. 280: Pasta Dish

A delicious meal of peppers, onions, garlic, shrimp and our very own tomatoes.  All sauteed in a little canola oil, with lemon juice added at the end placed over a bed of Rotini.   It was so good.

No.268: Frappuccino

A hot day, and a stop at the grocery store after school.  A very once in a while treat.  I'm not even sure what they are called.  Frappuccino maybe?  No coffee, is the most important thing.  The Strawberry was good, but the chocolate cookie one... bleh.

No.267: Silhouette

Grocery Store Silhouette of my youngest.

No.264: Peanut Butter Cups

She asked if she could bake as we walked through the door after school.  She found a recipe on allrecipes.com for Peanut Butter cups.  This tasted awfully close.  Very decadent and oh so good. 

No.261: Peaches and Cream

The Agronomist harvested his corn crop.  He planted ten or so plants in front of our house.  It is peaches and cream and tastes great.  We had three feeds from the harvest.  Tomatoes too.  Its all the garden we have.

No.258: Broiled Peaches

Just out of the oven with a bit of butter and brown sugar with a scoop of ice cream.  A little bit of heaven.

No.256: Treats

I did a little baking.  The girls love these in their lunches.  I love them too, for morning tea, lunch and afternoon coffee.  They don't last very long : P

No.238: Baptism Cupcakes

The day after we arrived home from Quebec City we attended our nephew's baptism.  It was a wonderful  family friendly affair with a little swank thrown in for good measure.  It was a great visit.
