Its a Baking Kind of Day

Happy Weekend to you!  I am in a jolly good mood- mainly because I have a lazy morning in my near future.  Thank goodness for 3 day weekends.   These days cooking for my client starts bright and early on Saturday morning and church on Sunday morning- my weeks turn into a never ending cycle of busy-ness.    This beautiful Sunday afternoon I was a tad stir crazy..Jordan is at the fire station- leaving me at home in Fort Worth. I must say I'm just about tired of putting away boxes and setting up/hanging up/putting up.  Can't everything find it's place already?  Trust me- once it is 'complete' I will post pictures, its just not there..yet :)  Anyway.. Last week I was perusing my favorite blogs and landed on my sweet friend Shay's blog, Mix and Match Mama.  She posted a most delicious looking cookie and sparked my interest in baking some up!  Hello.  Chocolate. And. Peanut butter. DELICIOUS..and can I suggest that this is probably the easiest use of my baking skills yet?
