Prepping

Now that the chilly weather is setting in and the holidays around the corner I have been testing a lot of recipes and seeing which one is worthy to be served for gatherings.  One of the easiest and wonderful recipes I've tried is how to make marshmallows.  It's such a fun thing to make and nice treat (along w/ hot coco) to send off to your guests after the night is done.

One of Lukas' favorite treats is madeleines that I get from a coffee shop and after a few times of buying some I thought hmmm..why not make it myself? So I invested on a madeleine cake pan and started baking.  It's truly amazing how much you save money on baked goods when you make it yourself. 

I think that one of the best things that you can put on a goody bag is something that your guests can eat the next day and think of your party while having it.
