Wonder if anyone else uses the term Fro Dough? Well, in my case, I'm referring to the stash of ready to go cookie dough balls in my freezer. Having been handed a note at 6pm asking for any type of goodies for a kinder grad tomorrow, I immediately thought of the ginger snap dough I had ready to go! within minutes, fresh ginger snaps were baking in the oven, filling the house with the smell of molasses and spice.
I then whipped up another new cookie using an existing base recipe and adding dark chocolate, oatmeal, white chocolate and dried cranberries to create a yummy cookie fit for school! My preferred combo with this dough is cranberry, pecan and lemon -- not school safe!
Well it's 10:19pm and still a ton of take home work to finish, not to mention household chores! Better check the cookies and get to work!

Cupcakes galore!
In less than 1 month, I have baked over 12 dozen cupcakes - for only 2 events!
Most recently, it was for my daughter's 18th birthday. She requested chocolate with mint frosting.
The batter was yummy and thick as I mixed it up (again in too small of bowl). It seemed almost criminal to stir in 2 cups of boiling water to the mix however the result is always worth it!
Earlier in the month, I made 4 types for my grandmother's 90th birthday celebration - lemon, red velvet with cream cheese icing, chocolate and vanilla. The lemon cupcakes were a smash hit among the retirement home crowd!
