Spoiled Rotten

No, not the kids...me. I am totally spoiled rotten. Santa came a little early for me. We were at Nebraska Furniture Mart getting our new washer and dryer (which are amazing, btw) and while Heath was dealing with the salesman, me and the kids took a stroll around the small appliances section. I noticed that they had the limited edition, Susan G. Koman, Raspberry Ice Kitchen Aid Mixer. It is the most beautiful shade of hot pink I've ever seen, and it was on my Christmas list. After talking to the sales lady, I found out that they were anticipating not having them available as we got closer to Christmas. In fact, they only had 3 in stock. AND there is a $40 rebate right now. So, we bought it. I mean, I'm going to need it to make Christmas cookies this year. After last year, I told Heath I wasn't going to make more than one variety. And I have a "Best Overall Cookie" crown to defend.

Here she is in the kitchen. Isn't she lovely? Yes, Madelyn is too. I couldn't crop her out :)

The first thing I made were Whitney's Pumpkin Protein Muffins. They are pretty good for being so good for you :) I'm looking forward to having one for breakfast tomorrow with my pumpkin spice coffee!

The second thing I made were the most totally awesome chocolate chip cookies I've ever had. I ate 3 today...don't tell Whitney! Back on track tomorrow, for sure! I'll share the recipe tomorrow.
