Mere Crocker

It's Monday and that means one more full week of work before Thanksgiving 'Break' (I like to pretend I'm still in college and I get 'breaks').  I seriously hear Thomas the Tank Engine in my  head as we speak, "I think I can, I think I can...".   I had a good weekend though!  The Patriots killed the Jets (thank you Andre Carter for the 4.5 sacks and Ochocinco for actually being alive) and I baked...A LOT. 

My cousin and her boyfriend just moved in together, and their kitchen is GORGEOUS.  I should have taken pictures of the kitchen (but I just thought of it right now) but instead I took pictures of some of the food! The first picture is of "Chunky Chippers" (sorry, that one's kind of a family recipe) and "Mini Pumpkin Pecan Pie".  The second picture is of Peanut Butter Cheesecake (and yes, it was as good as it sounds).  We also made "Beehive Banana Muffins" and a some form of "Chocolate Sundae Bar".



I can't figure out how to turn this clockwise!





















I would also like to point out that when I delivered these to the family I babysit for, the dad's first words were "Oh wow, you're so domestic all of a sudden"...I started watching his kids 14 years ago, you think that was a quality they might've looked for...But after I left and they tried the baked goods, I got a text message of praise!  Go me!
