Well this post will be short and sweet today. May was a rough month, and I wasn’t able to spend much time in the kitchen. I hope to do better in June though. Today I have a few photos to share with you, seriously I will do better in June.

May brought along a lot of weather related migraines. I took my coffee to go with me on most mornings.

May also brought along a very-evil-tummy-bug that swept through the house, and lasted for weeks.

Very late in the month I finally felt like baking. I spotted this easy recipe for Lazy Day Cookie Bars  on a friend’s facebook post. I had everything on hand to make it, and holy moly did the kids love it!

I made at least three batches of the Chocolate Chip and M&M variety. I decided to tweak the recipe a bit, and test a different batch.

I used a chocolate cake mix this time, and added in four different types of Chocolate chips and chunks. I also added caramel bits to the batter, and on top to melt too. These were absolutely delicious, and the kids really loved them. They have already requested a few more batches. I made another batch last night for their dessert. It was great to be back and busy in the kitchen.

Since it is Summer…

Ice Cream cones are mandatory! I also have the freezer stocked with pop-ice for the kiddos. I love Summertime sweet treats.
