~my easter chocolate woes~

anyone else having this problem?

i have to keep replenishing the easter egg hideout

the worst was when i bit the head off the bunny

seriously peeps, who does that!!

and then I ate up the rest of him too

can anyone tell me why chocolate tastes so much better in a bunny shape?

 

the marshmallow eggs, so yummy

good thing it's just another couple days.....

~many moons in the same canoe~

i first read this quote as a newly wed, and it has kinda stuck with me

this week i came home to find these

and these

because it's been many moons in the same canoe

20 to be precise

and that is worth celebrating!

(even though it makes me feel kinda ooollldd - i was a young bride, okay!)

we've done a lot of different things in 20 years

had three beautiful kids

worked as missionaries

moved our family across the world

(~that was a biggie~)

i'm so glad i got to do it all with mr keeper

and while we're still in the week of hearts....

you know how i love chocolate!!!!

well look at this chocolate spread i found, what a treat for the eyes...

~yum~

okay, so maybe it looked a little better before we dug in!

happy valentines week!

~i know, i know, i am bad~

yes i know, i am bad

~very bad~

here all you fabulous gals are posting new year resolutions and i post about decadent mississippi mud cookies

and i got to thinking

i really shouldn't entice you with photos

...and keep all the calories to myself

i found the sweet blog where i got the recipe originally

 it was posted by Robin from All Things Heart and Home

i'm not sure if i should thank her or not.....

and hers look even more delish as they have the yummy mini marshmallows on them

the kids ate all ours here at the hot choc station:

so here's the link to Robin's blog post so you can make them too!
(i double up as the kids eat half the mixture before it gets baked)

and really i did deserve them, it was a crummy week

back to work, back to school, i was sick, sweet 17 was sick

it won't stop raining and pouring

and to top it all someone drove into my van - grrrr

so join me in indulging, won't you please:-)

have a wonderful mississippi mud weekend!

Tracey

~mud, mud, glorious mud~

that's right ~mud~

~mississippi mud cookies~ to be precise

melt-in-your-mouth, chocolately goodness with chunks of pecan

i don't remember which domestic goddess posted the recipe

but boy are they good!

(yes, of course I always eat my cookies on a vintage bone china plate - don't you!!)

why? you ask

why a post on mississippi mud cookies?

well it's Friday after all, and this week that is worth celebrating!!

so i'm off to put the kettle on.....
