Keep It Sweet Desserts Weekly Wrap-up 5/9/15

Sorry for the slower pace of recipes lately… that’s just how life is these days. However, I have a few ice cream recipes coming down the line and some baked goods I want to test out. Matt also was astounded at our lack of cookie inventory (except for a few lactation cookies), so as soon as we get back from Florida, I need to fix that! Plus, I’ve been sitting with two pretty fantastic cookbooks that need to be broken in: Dessert For Two: Small Batch Cookies, Brownies, Pies, and Cakes (SO many recipes I want to try) and The Sweetapolita Bakebook: 75 Fanciful Cakes, Cookies & More to Make & Decorate (pretty much the most beautiful book of cakes ever).

Yes, after Florida! Ah this trip has been planned for SO long that it felt like we never were going to get there. We are spending the first half of the week on the West Coast with my family and then the second half of the week with Matt’s parents a couple of hours east. Hopefully this morning’s travel will go well (I promise, I REALLY will write about travelling with a baby after this trip). Last time L was great on the plane but if he has any issues this time, I’ll just pass him over to my sister;-) Anyway, seems like a pretty great first Mother’s Day is in store for us. And after what my mom has been through over the last couple of months, I’m so glad we get to celebrate this way! Family and health…. so very important!
