sugar cookies... are so much fun to make when you have a fun new mixer! however, I strongly suggest making sure you have a rolling pin before beginning the 4 hours adventure of chilling dough, mixing icing and having a cookie decorating contest with your husband. however, if you don't have a rolling pin, what would you use?
and then... when you have too many bananas... and a cute new loaf pan... what should you make? little banana nut chocolate chip loafs.. tied with a bow!
Extraordinary Measures... and an extraordinary opportunity to attend a premiere at the Philadelphia Prince Music Theater in center city.
We arrived welcomed by cameras and guest lists, had a lovely glass of wine and found our seats in the theater. Shortly after sitting, we turned to see Brendan Fraser walking in and sitting immediately behind us! He came to the premiere and sat with the "real life dad" in the story of Extraordinary Measures. It is based on a true story of a family struggling to find a cure for their two children dealing with Pompee disease. It is an exceptional movie that I HIGHLY recommend seeing the minute it comes to the big screen!
A girls weekend is a fabulous way to spend the weekend! Laughing, talking, shopping, cooking, drinking wine... registering for fun items at Crate and Barrel with our fabulous bride Julie... what a perfect weekend!We decided to cook fun meals in this weekend... Julie, Sam and Kate created a fabulous risotto Saturday evening complete with asparagus, lemon zest, mint and other yummy ingredients... and a great salad! I made brunch on Sunday morning with an open faced goat cheese, scallion and tomato omelet as well as an overnight coffee cake! See recipe below~ and ENJOY a good southern family tradition!

Sounds like such a fun wknd! And your cookies look professional. But I must ask..where are the pig-shaped ones? :)
the picture of Julie with her "bing" toy is adorable!
YES! So excited to have the recipe for that coffee cake. I could go for a fork full of caramel pecan topping right now!
