Treats Galore!

Early February is clearly a time for treats around here, and Isabelle is only too happy to take part in any way she can! She has such a hard time deciding what to have for dessert every night, so much so that she still has half of her Christmas stocking stuff just waiting to be eaten!

First off was Super Bowl Sunday, which meant party time at Uncle Phil's to watch the big game. Mommy had a great idea for a healthier dessert for the running crowd in attendance, and Isabelle was thrilled to be pitching in. A wicked combination of milk chocolate and strawberries with a splash of white chocolate for the final touch and voila, football strawberries! They looked and tasted amazing and were a huge hit at the party, with most people even asking where they were purchased!? It goes without saying that not all the strawberries made it to the party or even into the chocolate; they mysteriously ended up in a 3-year old's tummy...

How did they taste? Touchdown!



On the heels of Super Bowl snacks, we received a package from Isabelle and Oliver's Uncle Andrew and Auntie Lena in Toronto, such generous friends of ours who always think of the little ones. In addition to gifts, an intriguing box in the envelope called out to us and it was exactly what we hoped: sugar cookies from master cookie artist Lena! She started this as a hobby and has become such a star that she turned it into her own business! Isabelle dug in immediately and we all agreed these were truly awesome cookies. So if you're in the GTA, send Lena some business for your next event! As for Isabelle, Valentine's Day is just around the corner, will she have enough treats to last her until then? Hmmmm, I wonder!?

Two sweet hearts for two sweethearts


Clearly the cookie received Isabelle's seal of approval!
