From Our Garden…

I was coming back back from a morning run this past weekend and as I ran past our new rose bush, I noticed the awesome dewdrops on our beautiful yellow roses that just bloomed. Our gardener scored us this rose bush for our side yard because he saw that someone was going to toss it. Instead of leaving it to die in someone’s pile of lawn clippings, he brought it over to our house and planted it by our fence. I was sure the thing had no life left; it was brown, wilted, and looked simply pathetic. After a few weeks of water and sunlight…

VOILA!

So pretty

Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookie Madness

Over Labor Day Weekend 2011, I made Oreo-stuffed chocolate chip cookies. This is the fourth time I’ve made Oreo-stuffed cookies; the first two times were with Mini Oreos. Regular-sized Oreos definitely have a better taste to them. The Oreo-to-chocolate Chip cookie ratio is just better. These are now one of Christian’s new favorite cookies. My challenge for the next time I make these is to make them look prettier…

At least they tasted awesome! I will be making them again
