Cookies Anyone?

Had a couple of cute neighbors have new babies.  The girls and I wanted to take them a treat - so Ashlie decided on homemade oreos.  (Ashlie takes after me - insane sweetooth and a love for baking!)  We were out of chocolate cake mixes - which is a shock becuase I always have chocolate cake mixes (I buy them by the case).  Anyway, she tried "inside out" oreos - using a yellow cake mix and chocolate frosting instead of a devil's food cake mix and cream cheese frosting.  They turned out pretty good!  Here's the recipe if you want to try them yourself (just the standard cake mix oreo cookie recipe).




1 box yellow cake mix
1 cube margarine
1 egg

Mix together and roll dough into balls.  Bake in a 350 degree oven for 7 - 9 minutes.  Let cool and frost with chocolate frosting.  (We made them into oreos - chocolate frosting on the bottom cookie, top with another cookie.)

I use canned chocolate frosting because I am lazy and it is pretty cheap when I buy it on sale.  Hope you like them as much as we did!

Look Who's 40?

May 12th, year 2011.  The day Chris lost his youth.  He turned 40, yes, 40!! on that day.  To mourn the passing of his youth, I gathered his family for a farewell dinner.

Dad, as undertaker.  The coffin where we buried his youth.  Complete with dead flowers and all. 



A Mouring Family...

Happy Birthday, dear husband! 
You just get better with age. 

And don't worry - you don't look a day over 30!!
