Cast Iron Skillet Cookie

Hello Friends!

Today, we are celebrating the birthday of one of my closest friends. She is not a big cake fan, so this is the third year in a row that she has requested that I make her this skillet cookie. People at the party every year go crazy for this thing! This year, her party has grown in size, and I needed to make TWO!

It's no mystery why it is so darn good. I use the Pioneer Woman's recipe. You can find it here at the Food Network website. She is one of my go to Food Network people for recipes. I love to watch her show. She is fascinating to watch. I love all of her little baskets of food she makes and delivers to her loved ones. I just love her. She could deliver one to my house any day! I am pretty sure we would be fast friends if we ever met. End fantasy here. ;)

Here is my process.

Butter and lots of it, seemingly a must in all of Ree's recipes.

And lots and lots of sugar. Ok, I made a double recipe which is why everything seems a little wonky.

The rest of the ingredients went in to make these beauties before they went into the oven.

My helper. She loves to lick the spatula when we are done!

They are finished! The dough was pretty tasty, so I have hope that everyone will be happy!

Side note: Elliot wanted this for lunch while the cookies were in the oven. At this point in the summer, I feel like I might scream if I have to make yet another box of Mac & Cheese. Anyone else with me???

We do really love Annie's Mac & Cheese though. To make it even creamier, I add a dollop of cream cheese in with the butter while it is melting. It is pretty tasty, so maybe I understand why she wants it for lunch multiple times a week!

Next time you need a birthday cake alternative, I hope you'll give this a try!!

Friday Favorites! October 14th

Happy Friday! We are linking up with Erika , Narci & Andrea for the weekly installment of Friday Favorites! This week my very top favorite is ELECTRICITY! Where I live in Virginia, was affected by Hurricane Matthew. By the time he reached us, he was downgraded to a post-tropical storm or something, but still there was a lot of damage in our area, and people are still dealing with it. We were very lucky. We had no major damage to our home. We did, however, lose power for 40 hours. Yes, I counted! We were absolutely one of the lucky ones, as we had prepared in advance! And several years ago, we had a generator installed, so we had power to the essentials, like the refrigerator and some lights and a few outlets. Very helpful in keeping all of our devices charged!! My next favorite is celebrating this guy's birthday with his school friends a few days early! We had a video game bus come and park in front of our house. Several of Will's friends came and

Ladies Who Link: August Edition: Back To School Prep

Hey everybody!! Sorry for our absence on last month's linkup! I know all you dedicated readers, ok...reader (Hi Mom!) missed us terribly! Summer has been quite a bear around here. We have been traveling a lot and just existing with 3 kids and a puppy has been a long, exhausting challenge. All that said, I do love them all dearly and do my best to cherish our summer time together and making fun memories...amidst the screaming and fighting. Look for the good, right?? Now that I've gotten that out of the way... Thanks for coming by for our link up! And a special thank you to our other hosts: Allie over at A Gal Named Al , Lisa at Coast to Coast , Tara at Mommy In A Nutshell and Holly over at Pink Lady !! Back to School Prep time! Obviously, I am quite excited that it is time to get THIS party started. I haven't actually had to do much back to school prep to share with you. We did do our usual Target run to get what we needed. My 8th grader needed some

Stranded! September 14: Movies

This month's Stranded Linkup hosted by Shay at Mix & Match Mama and Erika at A Little Bit of Everything is all about Movies!! I don't know about you, but this is a tough one! I love so many movies! I think these three I could watch over and over and over. I think that I have to go with my all-time favorite movie as a child for the first pick. 1st Pick Oh my gosh, you guys! I LOVED this movie SO much when I was little! Hayley Mills is my favorite! This version was the only one in existence when I was young, so I am biased and think this one is MUCH better than the Lindsay Lohan remake. 2nd Pick I mean, who doesn't love Will Ferrell and his crazy antics?! And in a holiday movie!?! We have watched this so many times during Christmastime and every other time of the year! My kids can quote many favorite lines! 3rd Pick I think this one needs to be a newer comedy that my husband and I have watched so many times. I LOVE Paul Rud
