Sometimes you only want one little cookie. Sometimes you only want one little hard peppermint. I think this philosophy stretches across a lot of disciplines. Sometimes you only want one little cup of coffee, kiss from the dog, shot of tequila, chocolate on your pillow... I could go on and on.
Though not as cool and refreshing as an actual ice cream cone, these macarons are probably the most sophisticated ice cream cones you can get.
It's a bee theme today! I love the shallow little pool of sticky honey on top of these sugar cookie capped cupcakes. Honey is a flavor that just doesn't get enough attention. It's so flowery and delicate and amazing. And to think little BEES make it! They are like little stinging magicians!
I would gladly be a cookie in my next life if it meant I got to roll around in a bed of sugar.
Did you spend a moment yesterday giving thanks? What are you thankful for? I am thankful for having family nearby and an amazing network of friends who I also consider family. I am especially thankful to you, my dear readers, for being so patient with our new arrangement and embracing all that cute has to offer. You guys are top notch!
Time for a turkey sandwich!

It's time to start thinking about buying new sweaters and resisting the urge to wear them while it's still too hot out. Time to sharpen your pencils and buy a new spiral notebook. Time to get your boots re-soled and stock up on tights. Time to eat some apple shaped cookies!
I like a motif that combines snow with the color pink. It reminds me of a sunset on a snowy day when the vibrant sky reflects off the perfect whiteness. Throwing a couple penguins in there just ups the awesome factor.
Since my cat won't sit still enough for me to balance a beer on her head, these will have to do.
