~my new favourite nibble~

i am a nibbler

snacker

muncher

i love my wee morsels

tiny bites

 little goodies

petite tidbits

so when I saw these little guys

 I knew I had to give them a try

nothing beats the taste combo of

  raspberries and chocolate

 did you know that a chocolate chip fits perfectly into a raspberry's centre

 I am sure this is a match made in heaven

God is full of sweet surprises

 give it a go

nibble away my sweet friends

somewhat guilt free
i have been popping these babies all day long

~dressing up my Oreo's~

When I saw this recipe I just knew I had to give it a go 

at first my girls laughed at the idea of covering an already 

sugary Oreo with even more sweet cookie dough

sugar overload

but...   

to our surprise

 the outside covering is not very sweet at all

 {made with cream cheese...I also added less sugar to mine}

not only are they pretty

they are pretty tasty

Oreo cookies have never looked so darling 

recipe here

{how about red, white and blue ones for the 4th of July?}

~tasty little tea loaves to welcome Summer~

~swirls & whirls ~

had a bit of baking fun this weekend

making a turquoise roll up cake 

and planting pots full of red geraniums

i  would usually go with white or pink geraniums but this year I am so inspired by red 

you don't have to look far to find joy

hugs to you my sweet friends....... make it a good week 

~candy colours~

jujubes are a family favourite

can you guess which 2 colours are the first to go

and which poor colour is always left in the bottom of our jar?

So sorry if I have not visited you in a while......I hope to do so soon

life has been crazy busy lately

Hugs to you all

 now I am off to have a jujube or two
just wish they had blue and pink ones

~go ahead give it a try....i double dare you~

you haven't lived until you have...........

stick one end of the biscuit in a glass of milk or hot chocolate {my favourite}

~sweet memories~

my little cup reminds me of my sweet grandma........these were her everyday dishes.........it's my favourite cup in the whole wide world {i just know grandma would of loved this smore bar too......now you know where i get my sweet tooth}

memory is a way of holding onto the things you love........the things you are.........the things you never want to lose {the wonder years}

~muffin rules~

cranberry...a family favourite

a tin full of sweet vanilla muffins studded with juicy cranberries vanish very quickly in our home .......we really do have to hide our lunch muffins from dear old dad/husband. The only problem is that dear old dad/husband now knows our hiding places so now we attach little notes to our muffins that say

FOR ME......FOR YOU......COIN TOSS

heads or tails?

{we are now doing it with our bananas too....really we are! I think my husband is secretly a muffin loving monkey}
xox

remember my giveaway here...still time

~call me crazy~

Why can't cinnamon buns be pink?

call me crazy but I had to try......my pink dough

the end results........

ooooh la la the prettiest "buns" in town

give it a go.....just add red/pink food colouring when mixing up the dough

weekend hugs

still time to enter my giveaway here for a copy of Summer with Mathew Mead

~a wish for the day~

I expect to pass through the world just once. Any good, therefore, that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.
