Lunch Made Easy: These are a few of my favorite things...

Wednesday marks 11 days left on the Advent Christmas Lunches Countdown!! We're almost in single digits people!! I still have so much I WANT to do and make. Ahh!

Food for Thought: Junior Mint Cookies

Oh yeah, you heard me... Junior Mint Cookies. I know what you're thinking - Junior Mints AND Cookies? Those are two incredibly powerful forces being combined. I know. It's amazing. Trust me.

When I was trying think up some cookie ideas, this came to me. I thought about my Junior Mint Brownies (<--- click name for recipe & info) and how the topping made that delicious minty shell when cooled. I figured that HAD to be amazing on a cookie, right? Oooohhhh yeah.

Food for Thought: Thank You Brownies... Please Accept Them?

Okay, let me first explain by talking about what happened yesterday...

I get a phone call at work from my daughter's teacher. (She's in full-day Kindergarten.) Haley apparently left her lunch box on her AM Daycare Bus that transports her to school from Daycare. *sigh*
This is bad for a couple reasons -
1) She has a severe peanut allergy and even though they do their best to keep things with loose peanuts out of the cafeteria, they cannot guarantee everything is without a peanut warning. The main reason I strated packing her lunches every day - for peace of mind.
2) Both my boyfriend and I work over an hour away in opposite directions from her school, so I can't exactly quick run over to fix "the problem".

Alas, her daycare came to the rescue...
