Baking Fun

Small Group was cancelled tonight because of the snow (we've gotten at least 8 inches so far).  Sara, our small group leaders daughter, our babysitter, and the resident bake for snack after small group had asked Jackson what snack he wanted for tonight (before knowing it was cancelled).  Him & his little buddy said Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.  Jackson was super bummed that small group ended up being cancelled.  I couldn't disappoint so I had John stop on the way home and grab what I needed.  I found a recipie on my all time favorite baking site (annie's eats) for Oatmeal Butterscotch Cookies.  I whipped them up, seriously an easy recipie!!  And viola!...

They are super yummy delicious!  Made with oats, shredded coconut, butterscotch chips, toffee chips, my oh my!  It will be HARD for me NOT to eat the entire 2 dozen!  1 cookie is about 150 calories so 1 is defiantely a RICH treat!  I wish I was a teenager again and had the metabolism to eat the whole pan  :) 

In other news, hmm...I am looking foward to an overnight trip in Chicago with a girlfriend!  Yup, me alone with a friend overnight in Chi-town!  I have NEVER done this before, I am so excited!  I may not come home, hehe!  We are going to catch a play friday night, wake up Saturday to enjoy a gourmet breakfast and then take in the City.  I am hopeful for a sunny day!  I hope to get some great pics!  I miss my friend so much and it has been WAY too long since we have spent time together.  John goes away every year with his buddies for 3-4 days and now I know why!  Well, I can't say I know, but i am excited enough to make this an annual tradition :)!  We shall see.

Maybe some 30 week pics coming soon!  (after my belly digests these cookies and I hit the gym, lol!)
